She was shown in Dressage to Level M1 (Amercian 2nd Level) and placed 6th in the Dutch Friesian National Championship show in Kootwijk, NL in 2005. She was bred for a second foal and then sold to Ms. Courtney Yockstick of Ft, Worth, TX, where she had a gorgeous filly "Yasmin" in spring of 2007, still owned by Courtney. In October of 2007 I purchased Blomke and we have been in training since her arrival here in MT. Blomke's dam, Anke O. made Preferent Status in Holland winter of 2007. After a successful 2008 fall show season @ Training Level, 2009 show season we will be moving up to First Level, and trying our hand @ USDF recognized shows as well.

She was born and bred in Montana, as have been all her offspring. She has produced 6 progeny, one of which I still own. She is an excellent broodmare. She has never had any problems receiving semen in any form, nor any complications during pregnancy. All her foals have been healthy and strong. She has never been ill or suffered any major injuries, not had surgery or colic.
