Life is colorful with an Appaloosa.
There's always something going on in life with horses.
We will gladly take you with us on our journey...

SMARTLENA BOGIE & COMANCHE HOLLYWOOD in 2002/2003
30.07.2026
In December 2002, our two Appaloosa foals moved into the small stable, and an older mare followed in 2003. With that, the stable’s capacity was—for the time being—reached.
In 2007, we were also able to rent an apartment next to the stable so we could live together with our horses.
2026
A long time has passed since then, and we’ve weathered quite a few ups and downs. We’ve since become homeowners. The house and stable still aren’t quite finished, but not a year goes by without
progress toward our goals.
Next year, we’ll celebrate a quarter-century at this address and look forward to the adventure ahead.

"Wilma" - successful in Reining
06.05.2026
We had known for a long time that this day of farewell would come in the near future.
Two dear souls have left us today.
COMANCHE HOLLYWOOD “Wilma”
We bought little “Wilma” as a foal, along with her brother “Günni.” In December 2002, the little ones moved with us to our current facility. “Wilma” grew up in a sheltered and very pampered
environment. Ronny broke her in himself, trained her, and presented her at several reining competitions.
She also competed successfully in Hunter in Hand with Ronny and—to the surprise of many—became European Vice Champion.
“Wilma” was a loving mother to her foals and gave us a total of six offspring. Her son COLONELS DUNIT ARROW lives with us, and some of his children remind us of her every day. Our dear “Wilma” will
always have a place in our hearts.
"Solo" with SMART SIGN UP in 2013
KJ JOKERS HIGH SIGN "Solo"
We had been looking for a direct daughter of HIGH SIGN NUGGET for our breeding program, and so “Solo” arrived at our current facility in 2010 as a 5-year-old mare from Canada (KJ Appaloosa, Alberta).
“Solo” charmed everyone with her gentle, reserved demeanor. At feeding time, she always greeted us with a soft snort; you couldn’t miss her. She loved being cared for and groomed, resting her head in our arms as we did so. Of her six sons, four are still with us, two of them as studs. We will never forget the gentle soul that was “Solo.”
