History

In the late 1960, six mares from Holstein where imported in Holland. Among these six horses was the mare Elrite, Holstein line nr. 1859. From Elrite evolved three generations later, Zelrite (Senner). With Zelrite started Mr. Wichers the Aduard the Rite breeding line. From the mare Zelrite the sport horse Spock and at least two successful breeding lines evolved. The line described in this site is from the mare Orite (Courville xx X Zelrite (Senner)).

The other 'succesful' line is from the mare Velrite (Erdball xx X Zelrite (Senner)) [of spring among others Maserati and Orestus (Indoctro X Celrite (G. Ramiro) x Erdball)]. This line by continued by H. Maaesen in Maasbree.
