[ July 2005 ]

Vern SAPERGIA: "The first BLASCHKE Horse we had to train was Golden Mc Jac . When he came to our place I rode him for maybe a week and noticed that this is a pretty good horse. After a couple of months he improved so much so that I thought he was a really good horse. We won the Futurity with him when he was three.

As time went on we had as many as sixteen BLASCHKE horses in our barn at one time and there haven´t been any bad ones. Most of them are really trainable horses - okay every horse has it´s limit, but they´re all nice to work with, to ride and to train ... and they usually go on to make somebody a fun horse - almost anybody can ride them.

2004 was the first year we met any of the MUEY KALI GUY horses. They have all been really easy and nice horses to work with ... they seem to be pretty good moving horses and again they are really trainable, maybe a little more sensitive, more forward, more easy to get going forward. My best Futurity horse this year is by MUEY KALI GUY out of (a Dry Doc Mare) DEVIL WOMAN

Last year was the first year we had anything to do with TOPSAIL CHEX - bred horses. We trained only a couple - maybe 3 and they´re all really nice horses to work with too. We haven´t had any that had any bad habits - we were lucky with all of them. Now we´ve got two of them that are 3 years old and we just have to wait and see what they´re gonna do ... one was on a break so i don´t think it will make the 3 year - old Futurity this year, but it looks like it could be a very nice 4 year old horse. The other one the owners want to be a non-pro horse - and it looks like he wants to do that too. He is a very nice horse too.

We really haven´t had any horses coming from Michael BLASCHKE that you would call a bad horse ... they´ve all been real decent to start and to work with so we just don´t know how far we can go with them - how high of a level they`ll reach ... but for the training part of it they´ve been really easy and really nice to work with ..."

 

Sylvia RZEPKA: "Ich kenne Michael BLASCHKE jetzt schon bestimmt seit 15 Jahren, wobei wir anfangs mehr Kontakt im Cutting Bereich hatten.

Ich reite noch heute erfolgreich zwei seiner Pferde, die er damals importiert hatte und die bei ihm als Zuchtstuten im Einsatz waren. Nachdem auch wir nach Österreich übersiedelt sind, hatten wir immer wieder mit seinen Pferden zu tun.

Ich trainiere momentan zwei JAC O RIMA Prospects (3- und 4-jährig), die mir sehr gut gefallen und wenn alles so weiterläuft, es sicher zur Futurity schaffen werden.

Unser absoluter Favorit stammt heuer ebenfalls aus Michael BLASCHKE´s Zucht (MUEY KALI GUY) und wird von Vern geritten. Sehr interessant finde ich momentan die Entwicklung der TOPSAIL CHEX gezogenen Pferde, da wir von diesen noch nicht viele im Training hatten. Ausserdem freue ich mich bereits auf meine eigenen Züchtungen mit Michael Blaschke´s Hengsten. (JAC O RIMA & MUEY KALI GUY)

 

Zusammenfassend kann ich nur gutes über Michael BLASCHKE´s Pferde sagen. Er züchtet sicherlich nicht "NUR" Futurity Champions, aber es sind durchwegs alle gut trainierbare und hübsche Pferde, die jede Menge Talent und Spaß garantieren."
