Mission Statement

Ashanti Farm is being established as home and breeding center for the elite Hanoverian Warmblood stallion, Derringer. He will reside here along with our broodmares, their offspring and a select group of imported riding horses to be made available for sale.

The bloodlines carried by Derringer are some of the finest German lines. He represents the D-line on his sire's side back to the famous stallion Duft II and the G-line on his dam's side to the stallion Grande. Breeding to Derringer will be an option available to mare owners worldwide by means of fresh or frozen semen shipped from our farm. We are also gathering a few, select, purebred, Hanoverian mares from around the world. These will be horses of established bloodlines selected to cross well with Derringer's breeding in an effort to maintain and enhance the finest German bloodlines.

Derringer is a proven Hanoverian stallion and his offspring excel in many disciplines but particularly dressage. Through our efforts we will breed a number of special sport horses to be housed at Ashanti Farm. These horses will meet the standards of a world market for dressage horses of a unique and special type. They shall exhibit traits of a correctly built warm blood capable of superior performance with a temperament suitable for an all around riding horse.

In addition, Ashanti Farm will be dedicated to quality care and treatment most advantageous to the well being of the horse. Our facilities will offer an environment conducive to good riding and by means of clinics conducted by top equestrian athletes; we will provide a learning center for the benefit of the equine community.

Our management philosophy implicates the use of alternative medicine and feeding programs in addition to traditional veterinary practice designed for overall superior care. We are scheduling regular visits and seminars with equine chiropractors, dentists, therapists, acupuncturists and nutritionist in an effort to allow ourselves and others to explore and experience some alternative approaches to managing a herd and maintaining horse health and well being.
