This was a conscious decision, as the recipe for success of this combination has already proven itself: Wellem, a young stallion from this very pairing, is already impressive in terms of breeding (conformation\/temperament). The best bloodlines come together here \u2013 reason enough to continue on this promising path.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Vivian (FR) was covered by Waldpfad, also a son of Shamardal. We see Waldpfad as the ideal partner for Lady Vivian: his powerful conformation complements her elegance perfectly. In addition, with this pairing we are pursuing a clear and proven breeding strategy \u2013 the combination of Giant&#8217;s Causeway (via Waldpfad) with Urban Sea (via Lady Vivian) stands for performance, class, and sustainability in the pedigree.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to keep our fingers crossed. We hope for two healthy foals and that both mares will enjoy a summer full of happiness, vitality, and the joy of offspring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_custom\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_custom\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-slider style_none fit_scaledown nav_none count_3\"><div class=\"w-slider-h\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"royalSlider\"><div class=\"rsContent\"><a class=\"rsImg\" data-rsw=\"1024\" data-rsh=\"683\" href=\"https:\/\/ressmann-rennpferde.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/renpferde-ressmann-news-wishing-well-02-1024x683.jpg\"><span data-alt=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rsContent\"><a class=\"rsImg\" data-rsw=\"1024\" data-rsh=\"683\" href=\"https:\/\/ressmann-rennpferde.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/renpferde-ressmann-news-amaron-01-1024x683.jpg\"><span data-alt=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rsContent\"><a class=\"rsImg\" data-rsw=\"1024\" data-rsh=\"683\" href=\"https:\/\/ressmann-rennpferde.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/renpferde-ressmann-news-wishing-well-04-2-1024x683.jpg\"><span data-alt=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ressmann-rennpferde.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/renpferde-ressmann-news-wishing-well-02-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><div class=\"w-slider-json\" onclick='return {&quot;autoScaleSlider&quot;:true,&quot;addActiveClass&quot;:true,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;fadeInLoadedSlide&quot;:false,&quot;slidesSpacing&quot;:0,&quot;imageScalePadding&quot;:0,&quot;numImagesToPreload&quot;:2,&quot;arrowsNav&quot;:true,&quot;arrowsNavAutoHide&quot;:false,&quot;transitionType&quot;:&quot;move&quot;,&quot;transitionSpeed&quot;:250,&quot;block&quot;:{&quot;moveEffect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:300},&quot;thumbs&quot;:{&quot;fitInViewport&quot;:false,&quot;firstMargin&quot;:false,&quot;spacing&quot;:4},&quot;controlNavigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:true,&quot;pauseOnHover&quot;:true,&quot;delay&quot;:3000},&quot;autoScaleSliderWidth&quot;:1024,&quot;autoScaleSliderHeight&quot;:683}'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the first warming rays of sunshine, a very special moment is approaching: our two top broodmares, Wishing Well (GB) and Lady Vivian (FR), are currently enjoying peaceful days in the paddock \u2013 and the last few weeks before the birth of their foals, which we expect in early April.
