Davidoff is versatile, and his progeny have inherited it.

Davidoff comes from a family of European royalty in Dressage and Showjumping

Davidoff’s sire Dressman was twice INDIVIDUAL EUROPEAN CHAMPION, 9 times European Pony Dressage Team Champion, Champion Prize of the Nations, 4 times German National Federal Champion, Winner of the pony stallion licensation, Winner of the 30-days performance test for pony sires, Champion National Prize of the Best, and winner of over 100 international dressage tests.

Davidoff’s Dam’s line is just as impressive, his Dam, Mona is by the very successful pony Merafic, who was the leading German pony sire from 1983 to 1990. Merafic produced several internationally and nationally successful showjumping and eventing champions. Mona’s dam’s bloodline (via Nazim) brought European Multi Dressage Champion Nadir and his daughter, European Multi Dressage Champion, Napoli.

Davidoff has also proven time and time again his success as a sire, take a glimpse through the progeny page to see just what Davidoff can offer as a sire, equines that continue to excel in their chosen fields.

Since coming to New Zealand and maturing, he has been classified and approved by the New Zealand Warmblood Association as Warmblood Pony Sire and his progeny are eligible to be registered with the Warmblood Association under the Warmblood Pony Register.

How to breed to Davidoff

Davidoff is available via AI nationwide. AI is no longer the complicated procedure that many thought it was, simply contact your vet to make sure they are able to carry out the insemination process, and what their requirements are.

Your vet will scan your mare to find the optimum time for insemination, as soon as you know when you require the semen a simple call to us and we will arrange the collection. We require at least 24 hours notice, however if you contact us once your mare is in season we can then start tentatively making the arrangements from our end.

Given our location, we can use either Equibreed in Cambridge or Matamata Vets for our collections, www.equibreed.co.nz or http://www.matamatavets.co.nz/

 

If you are interested in finding out more about Davidoff, A.I. (artificial insemination), or view Davidoff at home in Cambridge, please contact us.
Artificial Insemination sounds complicated, but is actually a successful method to ensure that your mare will get in foal.

Articial Insemination is great:

  • if you don’t want to send the mare away to stud
  • if it’s late in the season and you want quick results
  • it is highly successful, more successful than natural mating, especially for older mares
  • it is much easier for maiden mares and mares who are a bit difficult when serving in-hand
  • it is so much less dangerous for the mare and the stallion as the risk of injuries through natural mating, kicking, etc. is eliminated
  • the mare is well monitored and the right moment for insemination can be planned meticulously
  • the mare can be given treatment to ovulate just in time so that there don’t need to be an endless amount of inseminations
  • you can actually determine the sex of the foal! If you want to have a filly or a colt, it’s up to you with “sex sorted semen”.
