Kailem OSB-A-M2139
In 1995, we decided to bid on several
stallions in the ATA Futurity. We were very lucky
to win a breeding to the wonderful ATA and Canadian
approved Trakehner stallion Advocate*Ps*, by Graditz*E*,
out of Arabeske by Abdullah*Pg*E* bred by John Kinder
of Haywagon Farms in St. Chairsville, OH and owned
by Allen and Kim MacMillan and Family, Loon Creek
Enterprises, Huntington, IN.
Kailem's sire, Advocate*Ps* is a
sought after breeding stallion who is always in
the top ten of the ATA Mares Bred List and winning
in jumper competitions through Open and Grand Prix
levels. He won his ATA Performance Silver for his
efforts in many Grand Pris, Welcome Stakes, Speed
and Gamblers Choice classes and numerous regional,
state and national awards. Advocate*Ps* was invited
to work with both US Olympic Jumping Team Chef d’Equipe
George Morris and Olympian Anne Kursinski. Advocate
has also been approved by several warmblood registries
such as the ATA, IRS/OldenburgNA, and the Canadian
Sport Horse Association.
Advocate’s offspring have won
or placed well in many prestigious shows and events
north and south of the US and Canadian border. Advocate*Ps*
has 115 registered get, 17 are in the Official Studd
Book including his approved son, Malachi, and 16
mares with 1 in the Preliminary Stud Book.
Kailem's dam, Kataliina(Kastella)
was bred by Manfred Haertel in Westfalica, Germany
and was imported to the US by Jeff and myself. She
is the full sister to our wonderful Trakehner stallion
, Kosake. Kat is by Hexer out of Kathinka III, who
was from the Family D. Kassette 690, Hauptgestuet
Trakehnen. Hexer was by Siegel out of Heia and Kathinka
III was by Frohsinn out of PR ST Kantilene which
can be traced back to Traumgeist and Kasavit. Hexer’s
sire Siegel can also be traced back to the very
famous stallion Totilas.
On May 30, 1997 at Joint Venture Farm
in the Redlands of Miami, Florida, we had just purchased
the farm in North Florida and things were incredibly
hectic for me as we prepared for the move. I was
also still leading an elementary school as Assistant
Principal, but that morning, before I left for work,
I expectantly checked in on Kat… no foal.
Jeff left for work after me and checked again….but
still no foal. Our daughter, Ali had farm chores
that day. Stumbling down to the barn to feed the
horses, she looked into Kat’s stall and immediately
ran all the way back to the house to call us, “There’s
an extra set of legs in Kat’s stall!!”
she panted excitedly. Needless to say we rushed
home to find Kailem!
Kailem was prepared through a solid
First Level and beginning Second Level in dressage
to compete in the Futurity, but an unexpected growth
spurt caused her to be laid off for several months
prohibiting her from performing. We are now hoping
for Kailem to produce our next approved Trakehner
stallion from our incredible approved American and
Canadian Trakehner stallion, Apache*Pb*!
Kailem is an approved Trakehner mare,
who has been successfully trained through Second
Level dressage and Hunter 3'6. At the present time,
Kailem is preparing to give us our first Apache*Pb*
colt for the 2009 breeding season!
