2019 - Onitta (Kannan jr x Voltaire)

Breeder S. J. Mozes

Onitta is a daughter of the great Cornet Obolensky son Kannan Jr.

Approved by KWPN and Zangersheide.

Nitta had now reached a considerable age to become pregnant. Her last foal was the beautiful Cornet Obolensky son Mr. Cornet.

Although I fervently wished for a filly every year, Nitta gave birth to colts time and time again. They were no less welcome I must say!

To take a chance on a Cornet Obolensky filly, we used this stallion again through frozen insemination.

Unfortunately no pregnancy occurred.

To increase the chance of a pregnancy at all, given Nitta's age, we switched to "fresh" insemination with the young Cornet Obolensky son Kannan Jr. 

Time and again the inseminations failed to produce a pregnancy.

It was not due to the stallion's fertility, but it is simply more difficult to fertilize older eggs.

Emotionally, on the third failed attempt, we considered calling it quits and letting Nitta retire.

A determined fourth attempt followed.

This fourth attempt turned out positive!

Nitta was pregnant!

We couldn't believe our luck when, at the age of 24, Nitta received a beautiful healthy filly from Kannan Jr., the champion of the 2018 stallion inspection and was approved by the KWPN one day before Onitta was born!

Onitta has now grown into a beautiful gray mare. She has inherited a lot from her father Kannan Jr.
