The grand dame of Black Watch, Greetings is a beautiful Oldenburg mare by Gonzo I out of Know Regrets. Greetings is a Premium mare with both RPSI and Oldenburg and was the High Score Non-Hanoverian mare at her AHS inspection. Greetings is now enjoying her well-deserved retirement at the 5-star Black Watch Resort!

Greetings had a successful career as a hunter on the A circuit prior to retiring due to injury. She has beautiful gaits, lovely conformation, a stunning, ultra-feminine head, and has the sweetest temperament. She has proven to be a wonderful broodmare, producing many premium foals and passing on her sweet personality.  We value her so highly that we have retained two of her daughters to develop and eventually take her place in the broodmare band.
