World Class Hanoverians - Bred in the USA

     Thank you for visiting us and taking the time to learn more about our Hanoverians.

     Our Hanoverian  Masterpieces of Breeding Program results from years of experience and extensive searching for Hanoverian broodmares that produce warmblood foals with outstanding conformation and performance potential.  Exceptional Hanoverian broodmares are the foundation of your future success.

     The Hanoverian mares selected for our foals came from Germany and Canada. All of these Hanoverian mares achieved the highest breed ranking of US Elite Mare (EM) or German States Premium Mare (SPS/SPA) — with the two mares from Germany achieving scores in the very top percentile of this coveted ranking.  Learn more about the dams of our foals at BROODMARES .

     Like the famed small Hanoverian horse breeders of Germany, we use excellent quality mares with approval and performance records combined with a family bloodline history of consistently producing high quality offspring for generations.  Many leading breeders feel that the mare accounts for well over half of the resulting characteristics forTtemperament, conformation and talent  ...  since each is critically tied to the mare's genetic structure, a structure she passes from generation to generation. rUnderstanding the mare's pivotal role in  breeding is a crucial element  of the success of our breeding program.

     Our foals now rival the quality of the very best foals of Germany.  World class foals that are born and raised right here in  the USA and handled daily ... making it easier and less costly for the new owner to consider, vet, and safely transport. 

     Our valued clients come to us from throughout the country -- Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Michigan, Tennessee,  Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado,  Arizona,  Washington, California and Oregon.

     We have decided to do some traveling for a change and to reduce our number of horses.  We will keep a couple fillies and after their breed show tours, we plan to breed them as well.  Eventually, we will relocate our operations from Oregon to Southern Pines, North Carolina.  As part of this change, we will be selling our Oregon farm, but we will still enjoy the Oregon coast now and then from a condo.  For detailed sales information on the farm visit www.CoastalOregonRanch.com  or email info@CoastalOregonRanch.com .

     We hope that you visit with our World Class Hanoverian foals along with their mini-videos and perhaps form your own 'Partnership of a Lifetime' with one of them.

Enjoy the foals,

Dale and Jo Ann Thomas
