I had the great pleasure of attending the Hanoverian Breeders Course in Germany October 2011. It was a long time dream of mine to attend. To read more and see pictures of the trip go to my blog:

Blume Farm Hanoverians is a small breeding farm located in central North Carolina and is owned and operated by Dr. Laurie Weiser, a small animal veterinarian. My breeding program started with one mare, EM/ SPA Dorfblume (Davignon-Matcho-Garibaldi).
EM Dorfblume's daughter, EM Roseblume was also bred via Embryo Transfer to obtain her Elite Mare status with the American Hanoverian Society. However, at this time she is not being bred as she is my riding horse.
In 2009 I added a gorgeous JC Thoroughbred mare that was approved in both the Main Mare Book (MMB) of the German Oldenburg Verband (GOV) and Weser-Ems pony book (Oldenburg pony division).
Unfortunately Kakua died due to an untreatable infection in her leg.
I am dedicated to producing healthy, correct, and quality sport horses & sport ponies suitable for an amateur or professional rider. Since my breeding program is very small I can offer individualized attention to each foal to optimize their training. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding my horses.

2012 News
EM/ SPA Dorfblume will be bred to Elite Trakehner stallion Hohenstein! I have wanted to do this breeding for many years but until recently Hohenstein semen did not freeze well. The blood lines will be similar to the young successful stallion Riverside (dam line Hohenstein-Davignon). Let's hope for a successful breeding! A colt only in-utero will be offered for sale.
If training continues to progress well we are hoping to show both EM Roseblume and Borealis Blume 2nd Level starting spring 2012!
Rhodayo Blume will be started under saddle late winter and I hope to compete him in Materiale classes starting in the summer 2012. He remains for sale, currently priced $15,000 (subject to change with training)
In June I am hoping to attend the second part of the Hanoverian Breeders Course in Verden, Germany. This session is to focus on the mare side of things with us attending the mare shows and inspections. Should be a fabulous week seeing all the beautiful mares and catching up with friends made at the Hannoveraner Verband during my last trip in October 2011!
2011 News
With a heavy heart I write that Kahkua passed away on January 27, 2011. She was an absolutely breathtaking Tb mare and will be missed by all who knew her.
EM Dorfblume was leased for the 2010/ 2011 breeding season. She was bred to Wolkentanz II and foaled a gorgeous colt on April 7, 2011. Congratulations to Jen Davis of Vermont! See more pictures on his page, Wolkenblume.
The covered arena is 90% finished! Rubber still needs to be added to the footing and mirrors installed along the short side, but we are greatly enjoying being able to ride at night during the short daylight hours in the winter.

The pictures above were taken during a long weekend camping trip the fall of 2009 at Jefferson National Forest in the Virginia Mountains. Rosie (EM Roseblume) did great during her first long camping trip...quite a change from the dressage arena! She blends in well with all those Quarter Horses, Paints, and TWs.
