We were very fortunate to be able to obtain Granada in 2003 and add her to our broodmare herd. Granada is a very well-bred, pretty mare of Hanoverian descent with a kind, affectionate, people-loving temperament. A bit on the hot side, this mare has flashy movement and 3 good gaits. Granada was sired by Spruce Meadows' imported Hanoverian stallion, Goodwill, whose damline was exceptional. The thoroughbred stallion, Der Lowe, is noted as one of the most influential stallions of the mid 1900's, standing at Celle State, and was the leading sire for producing a very high number of registered competition horses with the Hanoverian Verband, specifically noted for producing dressage and eventing horses. His son, Lugano I, was a very successful show jumper and typifies the type of horse this whole line produced.
Granada's dam, SPS Doreen, was purchased from the Celle State Stud and imported to Canada in 1979. SPS Doreen was sired by the premium mare-producing stallion, Diplomat, who also sired the great mare, SPS Diplomatin who produced the sensational show jumping champion stallion, Espri. SPS Doreen produced 1 approved stallion son, and several very successful jumping and dressage competition horses, including a CDI 3* eventing champion mare. Further back in Granada's pedigree, we find Abhang I who had a reputation for producing horses with great character, mind, trainability, and work ethic. He produced a considerable number of State Premium mares and athletic sport horses. The mares in Granada's damline are second to none and she descends from 100% State Premium mares who were exceptional producers of high calibre sport horses, stallion sons or premium mares themselves.
In 2007, Granada produced a gorgeous premium filly, Ryanna, sired by the imported Hanoverian Stallion, Regazzoni, who was inspected and breeding approved as a Premium Mare in the Main Mare Book of the German Oldenburg Verband.
