Davidoff at the 2009 stallion parade.

September 15, 2009 We had another fantastic day at this year's Stallion Parade! Unfortunately the weather wasn't great and we only got to display indoors, and Hubby was doing such a fantastic job of looking after Heath (our 4th child - 4 months old) that he only managed the video camera, not the camera as well. So as soon as my computer decides to behave itself I will pop the footage on line : Thankfully Kate from Geegee's snapped this shot as we were coming out .... It was great to meet so many new people, as well as those of you with Davidoff progeny, we love hearing how they are getting on so please do continue to let us know. It was also very nice to meet the people that came especially to see Davidoff, it certainly made us very proud!! We look forward to next year.

Cambridge Stallion Parade

We had a wonderful day at the Stallion Parade and it was lovely to meet people with Davidoff progeny and hear how they are going, as well as people whose mares are currently in foal to Davidoff. We received many complimentary comments about Davidoff, and he was very well behaved showing his wonderful temperament during the parade (you can see a video of this on his page).

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to next year!

August 2008 Congratulations to Buckton Dominoff and Sarah Wadsworth on being selected for the New Zealand Young Rider training Squad for 2008.

April 2008 It is with great pleasure that KM Performance Ponies would like to announce the purchase of Davidoff. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Heike Miller (formerly Brandt) of Westfalia Sport Ponies for all her support, help and encouragement throughout the lease and purchase of Davidoff. We look forward to continuing to offer New Zealanders some of the best European bloodlines available. I think that everyone will agree once taking a look at Davidoff's progeny page that "the proof is in the progeny".
