Now in for the 2008 breeding season Lucchetti Ranch is offering the services of CLASSIC SIRES.

To broaden our breeding program, we have recently acquired the frozen semen business Classic Sires.  We are very excited about this new addition!  Classic Sires offers semen from some of the top German stallions.  Some of these great stallions include: Brentano II, De Niro, Don Frederico, El Bundy, Embassy III, Escudo I, Latimer, Londonderry, Rotspon, Royal Diamond, Rubinstein, Weltmeyer, and Werther.  To see the complete list of offered stallions, please visit our website.  Lucchetti Ranch is also an on-site breeding facility that would be happy to help you with any of your breeding needs.  We offer mare board and care, insemination, regularly scheduled veterinarian visits, and semen transportation.  We look forward to helping you develop your breeding program or develop the performance horse of your dreams!

Lucchetti Ranch is looking forward to a great new 2008 season. Domiro will be returning to the dressage ring to compete at Prix St. Georges.  Domiro has been extremely busy this 2007 season with his successful competition in the Hunter ring at First Year Green Hunters, where he received multiple championships, and a great breeding season. The farm is excited to have the handsome stud back at home and back to work in the dressage ring!

Call Lucchetti Ranch now to book your 2008 breeding!  If you schedule a breeding before the end of the year, receive it at a discounted price of $1,300!  (916) 687-8463

Featured Lucchetti Ranch Mare

D’Lilah
(Diamont/Golfstrom)

D’Lilah is one of Lucchetti Ranch’s most valued mares because of the excellent foals she produces.  D’Lilah is 11 years old, bay, and has had a total of six foals here at the farm, the first one being Donavan.  Donavan, only five years old, has become Lucchetti Ranch’s superstar proving his dressage capability at many levels.  Her other offspring are Deshee, owned by Madeline Zook; Galleano, owned by Kaira Robinson; Devera, owned by Carole Webb; Donna Lucchetti, a yearling; and Donna Fatale, from this year’s foal crop.  D’Lilah is definitely the “queen bee” of the pasture and demands respect with her presence.  She has proven herself to be a great mother and takes pride in her babies.  D’Lilah is confirmed in foal to Domiro for the next breeding season and we all look forward to see what she produces next.

Kentucky or Bust!

This year, Ericka and Donavan qualified for the FEI Five Year Old National Championships in Lexington, Kentucky.  With the Young Horse Championship, one must receive over a 7 to qualify, but only the top 50 horses will be allowed to travel back East.  Ericka and Donavan qualified with an 8.14, placing them 9th out of the 50.  On September 8th, Ericka and Kevin started across the country with Donavan in tow.  Ericka and Donavan were amongst the stars of California and proved to be strong competitors.  “I had so much fun competing!  Words cannot express how nice and welcoming everyone was.  They made all of us from California feel so comfortable,” Ericka describes the atmosphere.

For the 2008 season, Ericka hopes to qualify for the Four, Five, and Six Year Old Division.  “I want to go back every year from now on…it’s a huge goal of mine!”
