Congratulations to our HPM Capistrana OBX (Capper) on her first foal, a filly by EH Herzensdieb! We like this filly so much that we bred Capper back to Herzensdieb and she is in foal for a 2021 foal. WooHoo!!
HPMC Capistrana OBX contucci/sps Komtess v (riverman)
HPMC Capistrana OBX (aka Capper) went through her Mare Inspection and Mare Performance Test in July 2018 and was top mare at the Inspection. She received scores of 9 for her head, and 8's for her neck, frame, conformation, and typiness-femininity. We decided to have Capper take her dam's (Rivita's) place in our breeding program.
HPMC Capistrana OBX, born 4/27/14, was bred by Don and Dee Kapper of Outer Banks Farms, LLC. We purchased Capper's dam, SPS Komtess V (aka Rivita) from the Kapper's when she was pregnant with a Contucci foal. We decided to name her Capistrana OBX in honor of the Kappers. We call her Capper for short. She is a full sister to Conturri HTF, Constantine HTF, and EM Caron OBX. She has a fantastic personality, just like her mother.
Capper has been tested for Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome (WFFS) and she tested N/N, negative.

Capper has been started under saddle. Our friend Ann is showing us how she works with babies. This is the fourth time Capper has had a rider on her back and the first time she has cantered with a rider on her back. She's doing very well. 10/5/16 |
At two years and one month, she stands at a little over 15.3 hands.

He earned six 9’s throughout the testing for character, willingness to work, rideability, and his trot and canter. He then successfully showed in Germany, including winning a 1997 Bundeschampionat qualifier with 9.2 out of 10 possible points.

Rivita herself is an overall ‘8’ mare with the AHS. She earned 9’s & 10’s on her jumping at her Holsteiner approvals in Germany. She was the 1999 Reserve Grand Champion of Dressage at Devon and was a successful competitor through Third Level.
