Want to combine breeding and recreation? You can with this incredibly sweet, big, cuddly mare named Stermerrie—she’s a true family horse!
Ayu van Zomerstaete is perhaps the sweetest horse in the stable—always attentive, cheerful, and calm by nature. She is a star mare with an excellent, well-established pedigree, and she currently has a beautiful filly by Jouwe 485; this filly has since been sold to the United States.
Ayu is well-trained and practically bombproof. She is used to traffic and can handle heavy traffic.
Our Ayu produces very beautiful offspring, and she is a good mother; she also gets pregnant easily.
We believe Ayu is the perfect horse for an enthusiast looking for quality breeding stock who also wants to enjoy a wonderful recreational horse. Would you rather compete in the sport rather than breed? That’s certainly possible with Ayu, as she’s a horse with plenty of potential; however, she’s primarily been used as a broodmare in recent years, so that aspect would need to be addressed. In any case, Ayu is the ultimate family horse!
Ayu is a daughter of Hessel 480 Sport out of a Ster+Preferent mare by Harmen 424 Sport x Anton 343 Sport+Preferent. Her pedigree continues as follows: Ster+3* / Ster+3* / Model+Preferent / Model+Preferent / Model+Preferent / Ster+Preferent – Mare line 035.
