Weica - international renowned broodmare

We bought Weica as a filly in 1982. She was the first mare we bred with, and all our successes and experiences started with this outstanding mare, who was equally talented for jumping and dressage and a wonderful mother and broodmare.

Pedigree

Weica's sire was the Westphalian WEINBERG, who was standing in the next village and who delivered international jumpers as well as famous dressage horses. He sired Goldstern, who dominated the international dressage scene for some while with Klaus Balkenhol, winning e.g. Team Gold Medal at the Olympics in Barcelona. Whereas Wisby D (U. Meyer zu Bexten), Wum (K. Gravemeier), and Warren (Lutz Gripshöver) jumped internally .

St.Pr.St. AMAZONE, Weica's dam, was sired by the well known westfalian ADLERORDEN, who sired as well the international crack Argonaut brachte, who won with his riders Franke Sloothaak and Bernhard Kamps more than 230.000 Euros. 

Amazone produced as well the licensed stallion Phantom (by Pilot), who not only sired many jumpers but jumped himself very successfull at national and international level with his rider Heiner Rohmann. 
Amazone was mother of further jumpers like Pilot's Delight.

Grandmother RETINA produced as well Ariadne, dam of Percy Flade (by Pilot), who became 5th at the Bundeschampionat in 1992 of the 6year old jumpers and was later sold for DM 560.000 at the PSI-auction. 

Retina's sire RADETZKY, stallion at the NRW Landgestüt, was trained up to dressage Grand Prix level and belonged in his time to one of the best dressage sires. His father RAMZES X, is famous for delivering international show jumpers like Retina (F. Thiedemann), Romanus (H.G. Winkler) and Roman and is as well the greatfather of RAMIRO Z.

Due to the international successes of her offspring, Weica became quite known throughout Europe. She produced six offspring, of whom five were sired by the later famous Pilot. All offspring were successful jumpers, some of them competed even at international level (Pro Pilot II, Co-Pilot). 2 of her sons were approved stallions. Her only daughter Piroschka was granted Elite mare and her only two offspring Qualisca and Gratianus (approved stallion) both jumped at the international level.  

• 1986 Pour le Merite by Pilot, auction foal, jumped at national level  (Stable A. Weychert)
• 1987 St.Pr.St. Piroschka, produced the approved stallion Gratianus by Grannus, who jumped internationally under his Italian rider like his sister Qualisca by Quidam won international with her British rider

Weica died in 1993 six weeks after giving birth to her last foal due to a heavy colic.

As she had produced only one daughter Piroschka (who died a year earlier on colic), Piroschkas only daughter Qualisca (by Quidam) was bred by Margo van den Hoogen to Quito de Baussy and produced Qui Vive, who until now continues this important mare-line in Holland. Qualisca herself competed later at international level under Robert Whitaker.
