The 334 Sporthorse Stud breeds with mares that have competed at 1.40m level and above. This is because the maternal lines are the source of up to 70% of the breeding outcomes, and mares that have remained sound to competing at this level are likely to pass these qualities onto their offspring.
The name of the stud, 334 Sporthorse Stud, derives from the mare Wolke 334. Wolke was a powerhouse mare who was characterized by abundant fight, carefulness, heart, belief, and grit. She had the ability to beat any horse, at any division, up to 1.50m level.
The stud exclusively breeds via embryo transfer, which allows them to breed more than one foal a year, per mare. Their surrogate mares are critical to the success of the 334 program and are cared for as such.
The stud's logo design reinforces their core value and importance of the mother line in their breeding philosophy. The embedded 334 suffix in the crown pays homage to the mare Wolke and her contribution to the genetic framework of breeding a top show jumper.
At 334 our goal is to breed world-class showjumpers by using proven mares with top pedigrees that also include familial “black-type”. Our methodical breeding approach is leading to highly successful foal outcomes, which can be attributed to our carefully selected proven mares who have all competed at 1.40m and above, many of which have jumped and won at World Cup level.
We have chosen to make use of a donor/surrogate mare program. Our carefully selected donor mares have competed at 1.40m and above, and ‘donate’ embryo’s which are then transferred to our surrogate mares who are maternal superstars.
Our 334 stallions are in a class of their own. We have a base of 9 stallions, all of which are licensed with the Holsteiner Society, 3 of which are Premium Licensed.
