Traditionally, a directed and selective warmblood breeding program has a more or less robust approval system. This is neces-sary because each registry’s approval system will determine the characteristics and quality of its horses. The approval process has changed significantly for all the European registries in the last 100 years. Originally designed to pick potentially valuable breeding animals, female and male, the selection events, and especially the stallion approv-als, have moved far beyond the simple evalua-tion of breed-ing stock. A stallion approv-al these days is a big-budget endeavor with considerable economic revenue.

The first warm-blood stallion approvals date back into the early 1500s, when the State Stud in Baden-Württemberg was founded in Marbach. Equally important in the mid-1700s were the official foundations of the State Studs in Trakehnen (East Prussia) and Celle (Hanoverian). Selection criteria at the time differed quite a bit from what they are today, and varied more between the horse breeds than they do today. Horses were used for everything from riding to driving to heavy agricultural work. Breeding goals in the different regions reflected the needs of the area; some tended to produce horses that were more

substantial and heavy for work in the fields and forests, and some leaned more toward the requirements of cavalry mounts: speed, endurance and stamina. As one can imagine, the selec-tion criteria back then indeed varied considerably. The common ground on horse inspections seemed to be an animal with four legs and two ears, but conformation, movement, athletic ability and temperament were very diverse. Interestingly, the actual

under-saddle or in-harness test of a stallion’s work-ing attitude and ability were very important factors in determining approval status. The pure “confor-mation” critique we apply today was actually unthinkable. You didn’t approve what you couldn’t ride or drive first!

Ever since the end of World War II and the drastically de-creased need for war mounts and tractor substi-tutes, warmblood horses have become a lot more uniform in

type, rideability, athleticism and temperament, even though most of us will still have a pretty good picture what the differences are between, say, a Holsteiner and a Trakehner. Still, the approval procedures are rather similar these days, with smaller nuances between the warmblood breeds.

The Modern Stallion Approval

So what is the bottom line of modern day stallion approvals?For one thing, we have moved away from actually performance-testing our horses before we breed them, at least in a majority of cases. It is true for almost all warmblood breeds that the horses are 2 years old, give or take a couple of months’ variation due to what month they were born. There are exceptions. The Trakehner Verband recently announced that sons of Thoroughbred or Arabian parents may be presented as 3-year-olds in the same crop of stallion candidates; and just this year, the first purebred 3-year-old Trakehner stallions came up for approval in Germany. The rule is now extended to all horses. The idea behind it is to gradually increase people’s perception and shift the entire ap-proval process to happen at a more mature age, where riding can become part of the process. But we’re not there yet. The other major approval places in Germany adhere to the 2-year-old rule for their major fall stallion event.

The Stages of a Stallion Inspection

At all inspections, the in-hand presentation of the stallion on a hard surface is obligatory. This is the phase where the approval committee gets a chance to evaluate correctness of the founda-tion (limbs), straightness of the movement, and generally the conformation and type of a young horse that is stood up in front of them. Sometimes, this is also the phase where one can draw

preliminary conclusions about a stallion’s temperament and character. Is he intimidated by the atmosphere? Is he coopera-tive, or rude, trying to evade his handler, or maybe even attack him? Does the horse stay focused on the job, and is he supple enough to show a good relaxed walk?

Another phase that is happening everywhere is the free jumping. It was the Trakehner Verband that introduced free jumping as part of the approval process, the first of the registries in Germa-ny to do so, in the 1980s. For most registries, free jumping is also obligatory for all stallion candidates—including those that are bred for dressage. In recent years, some European warmblood breeds have started to separate dressage horses from jumpers with a focus on their respective “talent.” Some other registries have stated breeding goals that clearly say “versatile sport horse,” meaning that free jumping is an important part of a general sport horse evaluation.

This phase is important for the assessment of the actual jumping potential (technique, scope, power), and equally important as an early evaluation of work ethic, athleticism, the ability to adapt to new situations or mistakes, balance, focus and many other men-tal traits. Free jumping can have just as strong an impact on the approval of a dressage colt as it has on a jumper colt. In that, it is a unique tool available to approval commissions everywhere.

Another common concept is that of the “at liberty” presentation. The format can differ, but the bottom line is the same: now the

Stallion at hard sur-face inspection. Note the “open angle” of the feet: the horse is positioned in such a way that the inspec-tor can see all four legs in their entirety, front leg on the side of the inspector is positioned slightly in front, and the hind

leg on the same side is slightly out behind. Weight should be kept equally distributed on all four legs. The neck is carried freely and uphill, the back and topline are easy to see. Shown is the approved Trakehner Grimani (by Gribaldi - Monteverdi). Photo by www.jutta-bauernschmitt.de.

Free jumping in Münster-Handorf, Germany. A stallion is over the last jump (of a total of 3 to 4) in the jump chute. This facial expres-sion along with the technique and his bascule (the opening of the back over the jump) indicates a

horse that is willing and positive about the task, and also shows significant talent as a jumper. Shown is the Trakehner stallion candidate Sir Rico (by Manrico - Napoleon Quatre) Photo by www.jutta-bauernschmitt.de.

Different stallions at various moments during their at liberty performance. Playful horses win a lot of fans, as do those that show off with spectacular movement, balance and rhythm. This is a crowd favorite part of the approval. Shown from left to right are: approved Trakehner premium stallion Banderas (by Le Rouge - Friedensfürst), Trakehner champion stallion Imhotep (by Gribaldi - Michelangelo), and approved Trakehner Sir Easy (by Easy Game - Tuareg).

Stallion Inspections: History and Perspective continued

stallion candidate is turned loose in the arena and is more or less guided by handlers with whips. He gets to display his movement free and with as little human manipulation as possible. The at liberty phase is a favorite with the crowds and often really brings out highlights for individual stallions. On the flip side, it can show off horses that are overwhelmed with their new-won free-dom, become tense and hectic and lack relaxation and elasticity, often also indicated by frequent cross cantering. A few years ago, the KWPN began with a new approach to this phase. Instead of just letting the horse run around, a group of handlers positioned at equal intervals around the arena gently guide the stallion on a large figure eight, using the space available. With that, the horse has to show lead changes eventually. At the end of this phase, the horse is then guided into a long “canter chute”, where he then gets a chance to stretch out and show off his trot and canter on a straight line, and without the ability to break free and run in circles. This system is now also used at several German ap-proval sites and is gaining in reputation.

Some approval sites, such as Verden for the Hanoverian Verband in Germany, combine the at liberty and free jumping phase. The horse is first shown free, and once used to the arena and noise, is lead through the jump chute. This saves time and allows the horses a maximum in comfort in these new surroundings.

Another format can be found at several inspection sites in Europe: the triangle phase. Here, the horse is shown in hand on a more or less well-defined large triangle. This is a chance for the commission to see how straight the horse moves, and how well impulsion and rhythm are developed. The corners of the triangle serve as break points here: The stallion has to slow down, and maneuver around this corner, then find his stride and rhythm right away for the next long side. Triangle performances are somewhat old-fashioned, and with the “new” concept of running on a large oval instead of following the triangle lines, one might wonder what the commission can actually gain in knowledge form this phase. However, it persists almost everywhere and has a special appeal especially in Verden at the Hanoverian approv-

als. Here, the triangle is part of the hard surface performance. A large grass triangle surrounds the concrete hard surface stretch, and the long sides of the triangle are filled with the masses once the approval begins. Here in this glorious spot, often in wonder-ful Indian Summer fall sunshine, the young stallions are seen for the first time and it does remind one of great festivities to see the horses all brought out in perfection, trotting along this elaborate triangle in Verden.

Walk rings are an inherent part of the approval process in most registries as well. Here, the commission stands in the middle of the arena and the stallion candidates are walked in hand on a large circle around the commission. This phase is also used for discussion of individual stallions, which is why this sometimes takes fairly long. These walk rings once again offer an opportuni-ty to assess more than just the quality of a gait. In fact, this is the only time that the approval candidates appear in a group of up to ten horses in the same ring, and group dynamics and behavior can play a part here.

A novel invention is the presentation of stallions on the lunge line. In Oldenburg, this phase is now part of the approval process: the commission evaluates the young colts on the lunge line (with girth and side reins). In Hanover, this part is obliga-tory, but it is not part of the official evaluation score (not yet at least). Other approval sites are just now beginning with this type of quality control. Many people are in favor of this method to assess the ability of a future performance horse. However, this is also arguably the phase where humans will manipulate the most, and one may ask just how the commission is supposed to distinguish between clever training, and natural ability. The jury is still out on this.

All in all, stallion approvals are a lengthy process and usually take place over a few consecutive days. These events have become major attractions to spectators from all around the world, and the thrill of the obligatory auction at the end draws even more. This is big business, no question. However, with all the changes that have taken place in the world of warmblood breeding in the past 100 years alone, it will be interesting to see where we will stand in, say, 25 years down the road. Already, under-saddle approvals of older stallions are taking place and gain in popular-ity, and why should they not? While the stallions are still not mature, this is the first indication of how a horse behaves under saddle. And since full approval also means that a stallion has to pass a regular performance test, it would follow naturally that we should determine riding horse abilities as early as possible—preferably before any given young stallion has bred 100 mares in his first year and later turns out to be of less than desirable riding quality.

Introduction by Anna Goebel, publisher ofWarmblood Stallions of North America

When I started publishing twenty years ago, it was in part because I knew warmblood and sport horse breeders in my area had no easy way to compare notes, learn from each other, pool resources, or collaborate on important goals. The same thing was true all over the country. Many breeders I have spoken with over the years have felt very isolated.

Twenty years later, the brand-new United States Sport Horse Breeders Association is offering an opportunity to change all that. The USSHBA’s goal is to create a unified voice to address the particular interests of breeders of warmbloods and sport horses.

The USSHBA started in earnest two years ago, and a steering committee worked to lay the groundwork for the organization to exist. They “went public” on November 2, 2013 by first start-ing a “Page” on Facebook. Breeders responded immediately: the page had over 1,000 Likes within 48 hours, and by the end of the year the page had been Liked by 1,911 people.

To find out what impelled these individual breeders to become involved, and what they hope to accomplish, I interviewed some of the steering committee members. This article is the result.

If you are interested in benefitting from membership in a group that will help provide a voice for your concerns as a breeder, membership in the USSHBA is available to breeders, interested individuals, and groups. The cost for 2014 is $50 for the Breeder category (individual or farm). To join, go to www.usshba.org/membership.html.

The Questions:

• What are the three biggest challenge facing stallion owners in the US today? Mare owners/breeders?

• What motivated you personally to become involved in the establishment of the USSHBA?

• If the USSHBA had been around ten years ago, what differ-ences would it have made to US breeders, and to your breed-ing business specifically? Are there frustrating experiences you had that you hope the USSHBA will be able to address?

• In what ways do US breeders compete with Europeans?

• What elements of the European system (of breeding/raising/sales) would you like to see implemented here? What are the drawbacks of that system that you feel we can do better?

• What is the most important goal you envision the USSHAB accomplishing?

• How do you envision the role of the USSHBA in relation to the warmblood and sport horse registries in the US? What about in relation to the USEF and other organizations?

• The registries in the US are very protective of their individual identities. Do you think a single national registry would be a good idea? Do you believe that could happen? Or do you think the different registries should continue to maintain their separate identities?

• What are some ways the registries would benefit from work-ing together while maintaining separate identities? How does the USSHBA plan to facilitate cooperation?

Maryanna HaymonMarydell FarmNorth Carolina

Bio:I started with a single mare hoping to sell a foal a year to finance my gelding’s show career. A start that many fellow breeders share. That first foal stayed with me until she passed away at age 21 a few years ago. When I stopped riding due to health reasons, I dove into breeding as I had experience in human newborns as a nurse and my love for horses was essential to my mental well being. So Marydell Farm was born.

Since then, we imported the Hanoverian stallion Don Principe (Donnerhall/Prince Thatch xx/Durheim) to try to control our ris-ing stud fee expenses. Little did we know how much Prince would improve our breeding program and enrich our personal lives. Don Principe has gone up the levels to CDI Grand Prix. He is the sire of three USDF “Traveling Trot”perpetual trophy winners:

Duet MF, David Bowie MF and this year Dansuse MF. This is an unprecedented feat; no other stallion or breeder has achieved this. Marydell Farm has been both USEF and USDF Champion Breeder of Sport Horses in previous years. Marydell horses have shown at Dressage at Devon and had many wins and several Championships. We have also had many USDF Champion Horse of the Year winners over the years. Doctor Wendell MF is a licensed son of Don Principe bred by Marydell Farm.

Some of the biggest challenges facing both stallion owners and breeders in the USA is the challenge of the European model of rushing to the current “fashionable” bloodlines and “hot” new stallions. These horses do not have the performance record to substantiate their ability to do the upper-level work. But they do have a lot of hype and their first foals can sell easily.

A huge challenge to breeders has been the economy. Since 2008, breeders have faced a severe downturn in the sales of young stock. This has effected the ability to afford the actual costs of breeding. Everything costs more—hay, vet, farrier—but without sales, breeders were forced to cut back on their breeding plans. So there is a shortage of young horse right now here in the USA. In addition, it makes the low cost of European frozen semen by the dose without the LFG appeal to many right now because of economic reasons.

The third challenge is size. Our country is so large that the cost of flying to see an individual horse is a cost only some can afford. It makes the choice of going to Europe and seeing many horses in a few days in a smaller region seem enticing compared to see-ing one every few weeks and having to fly to personally inspect the prospect. This also applies to locating them in the first place. There is no centralized place for perspective buyers to find them.

When the concept of a unified organization for sport horse breeders was first floated, I became very excited and wanted to help. I had faced many hurdles throughout my career in breed-ing, and I hoped that a group like USSHBA could help other breeders, especially those new to it, so that they could have a resource to help them along.

There have been several issues with horse identification that might have been eliminated if only a one horse=one number da-tabase had been put into place. Perhaps we could have compiled a reference of young horse trainers for all breeders to use to find that all-important next step of the process. We might have a true recognition of American bred sporthorses competing and doing well at the international level.

Registries could benefit from this type of organization in several ways. With a voice for their members in the national organiza-tions such as USEF, USDF, USHJA, USEA, recognition of the horses and breeders of those horses could start to have a more prominent role. Outstanding individual horses could be pointed out to the selection committees that are looking for the best for our international teams. As of now, there is no way for a registry to approach one of the above-mentioned groups to seek assistance for a promising young horse, or to effect change in the rules con-cerning in-hand or performance showing. USSHBA can pro-vide a unified voice for this. And at the same time, the registries would be able to maintain their individual identities and rules. I do not see a single national registry working in the USA. There are many registries per country worldwide. At least as far as I am aware, there is no “national” registry encompassing all the horses of a single country. To take that one step further, Americans as a culture want to be independent and have options.

With such a database of life numbers, we could track the progress of our offspring, follow bloodlines that are successful in sport and keep the competition on a level playing field. F

“If this type of group had existed even a few years ago,

I think many of the frustrations of today’s breeders

might have been addressed.”

“If we accomplish only one thing, and that is a horse

identification system that cannot be bypassed if

competing, then we will have accomplished the single

most important goal for breeders.”


Tish QuirkCalifornia

Bio:Tish Quirk is a lifelong horseman with over 30 years experi-ence breeding champion Hunters and Jumpers beginning with her foundation stallion, Best of Luck, and continuing with his

breeding sons, Just The Best and More Than Luck and their successful sons who are currently winning in the show ring and will eventually enter the breeding program.

Tish has earned numerous titles as a rider and handler as well as a suc-cessful breeder and served as Chair-man of the USHJA Breeders Com-mittee and Pacific Coast Horseshows Association Breed-ers Committee as

well as the USHJA Board of Directors. She has served on the Advisory Board of the KWPN-NA and the Board of Directors of the International Hunter Futurity and was a Founder Mem-ber of the International Jumper Futurity. She was honored with the California Professional Horsemen’s Association Lifetime Achievement Award and has been the PHA National Hunter Breeding Breeder of the Year. Tish has been Leading Handler at both the International Hunter Futurity and Sallie B. Wheeler/USEF National Hunter Breeding Championship. Horses she has bred, owned and trained have been Best Young Horse at the Sallie B. Wheeler and the IHF and both Just The Best and More Than Luck have earned Leading Sire titles in the Sallie B. Wheeler Championship.

Tish runs a full service breeding, foaling, development and train-ing farm in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Along with her late husband, John Quirk, Tish was co-editor and co-publisher of HORSES magazine and has photographed major competitions around the world. John was the original organizer who brought the World Cup Finals of Showjumping to Del Mar, California and Las Vegas and Tish served as official photographer. In 2007 the World Cup Finals of Dressage was added to the exciting presentation in Las Vegas. The double World Cup Finals will return to Las Vegas in 2015.

The breeding of successful warmblood horses in the USA has seen steady growth in the past 30 years but it is not without challenges.

The vast size of the USA makes it a challenge to try to have head-to-head competition for young horses without forcing the majority of the young horses to endure extensive travel, thereby creating an advantage for the horses born in the vicinity of the competition. Travel requirements within the country limit the ability of potential breeders and buyers to view the stallions and young horses in person—but is still less than the travel required to fly to Europe and the cost and risk of import is reduced. Because of the size of our vast country, regional showcases are necessary. The use of the internet for promotion of breeding and selling has changed the face of the business and has had a major impact both good and bad.

There is no government subsidy of the equine industry in the USA as there is in some European countries and the costs to breed, develop and show horses here is very high. Programs to showcase the young horses of America at reasonable prices are a necessity. For such programs to succeed and represent the entire country they must be available to all areas of the country and have a format that is designed to fit the American market and the needs of American riders, trainers and buyers.

Having been very involved with various organizations and registries, I believe the time was right for the formation of the USSHBA to try to unite the breeders and all of the organizations and registries that serve the breeders, owners, trainers and buyers.

“There is still a tendency to idolize riding horses and

breeding stallions available in Europe. There are

exceptional horses on both sides of the ocean, and it is

necessary to encourage buyers and breeders to under-

stand the quality of the American-bred horses and the

advantages of buying and breeding Made In America .”

Picture this… a tousle-haired techie pitching a ridiculous concept called the World Wide Web to a slick-haired suit behind a desk… Fast forward a few years… now we have a college kid explaining to a banker why he needs a loan to start a photo-sharing service where the pictures disappear forever seconds after they’re snapped … now that same college kid turning down a $4-billion-dollar offer from Google to buy his little app: SnapChat.

So now imagine a traditional German-parented North American Warmblood registry hosting an online foal auction, complete with i-phone-compatible bidding and daily Facebook updates. Well… why not?! The Rheinland Pfalz-Saar International (RPSI) decided to give it a try, and the results have been quite interesting.

Live auctions have traditionally been the method-of-choice in Germany for selling collections of sport horses. The European verbands, or registries, host these auctions as a way to help breeders market their horses and breeding programs, as well as the registry itself, and thus continue breeding. So while the registry-hosted foal auction hadn’t been tried before in North America, the idea was a familiar one.

But how to get 30-some mares and foals from all over the USA and Canada and a group of bidders together in one place to make it happen? Impossible! The distances, costs, and risks to the sellers are just too high. But add the internet and a liberal

dash of Facebook, Google, Twitter and other social media to the concept of the traditional foal auction – and you have a mix that just might have the Europeans sitting up and taking notice.

The RPSI’s 1st Annual Select Foal Auction in the fall of 2013 really started about a year and a half before that, with a ‘what-if-we-could…’ kind of conversation, discussing the possibili-ties, strengths and potential drawbacks of offering this kind of marketing to breeders.

The registry knew that live auctions for sport horses in North America have had a mixed reception in the past. Some suc-cesses, and a lot of disappointments. The distances are just too huge, and many Americans think of horse auctions as suspect, a kind of dumping ground. While those opinions may be chang-ing, what has certainly changed is how the internet now affects everyday life, even for horse people.

The most important piece of the puzzle for the RPSI, and what separates a registry-sanctioned select foal auction from any other kind of online sport horse auction, is the selection process itself. All foals entered have been personally inspected, and those in the Select section were individually invited to participate, creat-ing a unique collection of foals being marketed in a truly mod-ern way. The other puzzle piece that fit everything together was the availability of great quality photos of all the foals, taken by

JoAnn Cohn of the RPSI, from every site along the inspection tour and offered free of charge to members entering their foals.

In the end, the planning and hard work paid off for many of the foal owners and shoppers.

Jennifer and Armin Arnoldt of Dreamscape Farm in Langley, BC Canada consigned and sold two of their RPSI branded foals in the online foal auction – Bon Voyage DSF by Bon Balou, and Covert Affairs DSF by Checkmate. Armin explained what at-tracted him to the idea of a Select Online Foal Auction.

“North American breeders need a better way to market their product. In Europe, the registries help with this, and it works out for everyone. But auctions in Europe work because they are nice and close. Here to enter a horse in a regular auction you need to take a holiday from work, get a hotel and travel across the country – and then hope the thousands you’re spending will actually pay off!” Armin said.

“I thought this auction was a great idea, and had a really good result. With an online auction, what can you lose? If they don’t sell, so what? You get some exposure and marketing from it all, at a little price – how wrong can you go?”

“What’s important to remember about this auction, though, is that the foals are pre-selected – just like in Europe – and that makes it more than just an online auction. You know what you’re getting, and that the person on the other end of the phone actually has seen the foals, evaluated the foals, and knows the breeding programs they are coming from.”“We breeders in North America want to do things a little more like in Europe – right? Well, here people are actually on the in-

ternet and Facebook even more than in Europe – so I think the Germans can learn from us on this whole online auction thing!”

In the end, the RPSI foal auction included 47 foals – 24 in the Select section, which was restricted to Gold Premium foals in-vited to participate, and 23 Open section foals, made up of Silver premium and above foals inspected and registered on the 2013 RPSI inspection tour.

The results for the inaugural year were encouraging. Nearly 30,000 page views, bids totaling over $148,000 (not all reaching the foals’ reserves however) and foal averages of: Avg. Total Price: $5,916.00 Avg WB: $7,341.00 Avg Pony: $4,791.00.

The surprises? First of all, the popularity of the German Riding Ponies and Kleines Deutsches Reitpferd foals – 60% of

the pony foals sold, as compared to 26% of total foals. Also, the way this group of foals started to feel like family – the registry team knew their details and pedigrees inside out, and were root-ing for each one.

The challenges? First of all, how to change the basic mentality of American auction shoppers expecting bargain-basement deals.

Select foal auctions are not dispersals, and these breeders are not desperate to sell at any price, as is sometimes the case in other types of auctions. Secondly, breeders need to set reasonable reserve prices on their foals, though that too is difficult as the baseline sales data for warmblood foals in North America is lacking. Third, the amount of time it takes to enter all of the data, and pro-duce the ads and auction site is truly impressive – running an online auction is not for the faint of heart! Finally, how to help the technology-im-paired among us get comfortable with the tools of modern marketing, such as signing up and bidding online, and uploading quality videos.

So in the end, will the RPSI do it again? Ab-solutely! As the Select Foal Auction becomes a standard fixture on everyone’s calendar, the sale results should improve with each passing season. What’s next? The RPSI Mid-Winter Mix Online auction has just opened January 10th, offering a sales venue for all ages of RPSI registered/inspected horses in the early part of the year. The RPSI is also hosting a Stallion Service Auction February 26th – March 9th, and an online Premier Riding Horse Auction in early summer of 2014.

The RPSI is excited to help bridge the gap between breeders and riders in this country, and through new programs like on-line auctions, help promote North American breeders and the outstanding sport horses and ponies they are producing. F

Gallaway’s Abrikos 1991 Orlov Rostopchin stallion. Abrikos was imported from the Russian Stud Farm in Starozhilovsky. He began his Grand Prix career under Tina Konyot with many successes. In 2006, a syndicate purchased Abrikos for Denielle Gallagher-LeGriffon. Together they went on to success at Grand Prix at Dres-sage at Devon, Royal Winter Fair, Wellington, etc. In 2008, Abrikos and Denielle were short listed for the Canadian Olympic Dressage Team.

Abrikos’s sire Agdam, is the son of the great Russian Olympic star Absent. Absent was the Olympic Dres-sage Gold medal winner in 1960. In 1964, he won Bronze under Sergei Filato and was 4th in 1968 under Ivan Kalita. Absent also had a record at the track with 5 starts as a 2-year-old.

The history of the Orlov-Rostopchin dates back to the middle of the 18th century, when Russia was breed-ing horses not only for carriage and military use, but for dressage riding. Through its associations with the French court, the Tsarist upper class was introduced to and practiced horsemanship as an artistic pursuit, and the foremost breeders of that day were called upon to develop a riding horse which was to be the horse of the Russian court (Catherine the Great is said to have enlisted the talents of the Orlov brothers from the prominent land-owning family of the day). Some of the initial foundation blood of this horse is shared with the Orlov Trotter, but the riding and driving breeds diverged as specific lines were formed.

Abrikos is a true treasure. Not only is he a rare representative of the Orlov Rostopchin breed, he is a proven Grand Prix star. He has shown throughout North America with much success and we look forward to a suc-cessful breeding career.

Amazing is easy to work with, eager to please, and a pleasure to ride. In addition, he is unique in that he has hack winning move-ment combined with spectacular jumping form and scope. These qualities were apparent in his Pre-Green debut at the Country Heir AA show in 2012. In his first time showing in the 3’, Amaz-ing was Reserve Champion out of 27 of the top Pre-Green horses on the East Coast, and won a class with a fantastic score of 88.

Amazing is passing these qualities along to his foals as well. Mare owners report that their foals are brave, friendly, easy to work with and extremely athletic. Many foals have demonstrated their natural jumping ability as early as ten days old! Amazing foals have started to show in the Hunter Breeding classes, with the highlight of the year being his filly Adaire’s win at Devon in the Pennsylvania-Bred yearling fillies.

The most remarkable quality about this incredible stallion is not his classic good looks or his stunning athletic ability, it is his per-sonality. He is by far one of the kindest, sweetest horses you will ever meet. He is an “old soul” and makes a personal connection with everyone who comes in contact with him. Amazing has an undeniable presence, and mare owners have said time and again that he is passing this intangible quality along to his foals.

We encourage you to come for a visit to meet him yourself!

Apiro is a son of the legendary Argentinus, who for an amazing seven years led the FN statistics of his age group for the prize money earned by his progeny with offspring competing at international levels in both dres-sage and jumping. A successful advanced level show jumper himself, Argentinus sired 28 approved sons, 48 State Premium mares, and became Germany’s youngest millionaire based on money won by his progeny. He was renowned for passing on his willing temperament to his offspring. His sire, Argentan I, produced 19 approved sons and 119 State Premium mares and was highly regarded as a broodmare sire. From Absatz, the type and unmistakable face of his sire, Abglanz, is stamped generation after generation. From Argentinus’ damsire, Duden II, comes the dynamic movements and impulsion of Duellant. Apiro’s dam, the State Premium mare Pyrah H, is a strong producer of sporthorses including the showjumpers Perle, Pandora, and Power Girl, Rocci Balboa who has been successful in the young dressage horse classes, and State Premium mare, Airline. She also produced approved stallion, River Phoenix, who won the Bavarian Championships. Pyrah H is by the exceptional jumper sire, Pilot, who was the first showjumping stallion with progeny to earn one million deutschmarks. His second dam, Ceda H, is by the Cyklon son, Cyrus. The Hanoverian-based Trakehner, Cyklon, established a good jumper line and was a superior sporthorse sire.

Apiro was Reserve Champion of his 30-day test in 2004 with 8.51 overall, 8.86 for jumping and 7.99 for dressage. He com-pleted his sport requirements in Germany by qualifying for the 2005 Bundeschampionat in showjumping.

Apiro competed successfully in the working hunter ring as well as with his amateur owner. He is producing quiet minded, athletic offspring stamped with his type.

Bratt Z’s extraordinary jumping abilities earned him a perfect score of 10/10 at the 2004 Canadian Warmblood Approvals (1st stallion to ever receive such a score!) and he did it again in 2005 at the AHHA approvals receiving 10, 10, 10 for free jumping. In 2006 he made Canadian history again by winning the CWHBA Stallion Performance test and earning a jumping index of 131.46, the second highest recorded score. He demonstrates world class athleticism and combines strength and elasticity with a respectful and kind disposition.

The importance of Bratt Z’s pedigree cannot be denied. His sire, Baloubet du Rouet, is one of the best performing stallions of all time. Some of his accomplishments include three consecutive victories at World Cup finals and two Olympic medals, includ-ing one individual gold medal in 2004. The dam’s sire, Capitol I, has numerous offspring (Dobel’s Cento, Cassini, Calato, Carthago, Indoctro, etc.) performing successfully all over the world and earning top honours at World Championships as well as Olympic Games.

Bratt Z has proven himself as a sire, as two of his offspring, Bling and Bennington, have followed in his footsteps and won the CWHBA Performance Test in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Three other young stallions by Bratt Z (Bravo I, Berovantto and Brattino) are licensed breeding stallions with the AHHA. Brat-tino was the highest scoring stallion in North America during the 2013 AHHA approval tour. In 2011 and 2012, Wildcat (Bratt Z x Landgraf ) was reserve champion of the 5 and 6 year old division in Québec, and she finished 3rd overall in the 6 year old Canadian Young Horse Championships.

By contributing quality bloodlines, scope, technique and an excellent temperament, Bratt Z is a must for every breeding program.

HPF

Canterbury HPF is a young stallion with unparalleled performance parentage, and rideability that received scores of 10 at his stallion testing. His sire, Canturo, jumped the Olympic Games and was the leading Holsteiner stallion in sport when he retired. He has top breeding sons throughout Europe, but Canterbury is his only son breeding in North America.

Canterbury’s mother, Hepburn, was in international sport, winning a Nations Cup for Germany. His grandmother, U-Classic, also jumped internationally. Canterbury and these horses come from Holstein stamm 776, the top global motherline for the production of international jumping horses.

Canterbury excelled in his 70 Day Test (Silver Creek Farm, OK USA; 2012), finishing up as the leading 4-year-old jumping stallion, as well as earning scores of 10 for rideability. He has been exceptionally rideable for adults, children, professionals and amateurs alike. Through the 2012 Spy Coast Farm Young Horse Show Series, Canterbury had the highest score for freejumping of any 4 year old horses judged throughout the national tour of the shows.

The first children are turning 2 in 2014, and are so far impressing us with their free jump ability, powerful canters and beautiful faces. Please get in touch with us for pictures and videos of his kids... We’re always happy to show them off! He’s had Premium and Site champion foals already from his first two crops.

Carrasca Z (Asca Z x Calato), bred by Hyperion Stud in Virginia, is a Mr. GQ of stallions with a personality to match. He is a true gentlemen and loves his sport. Carrasca was recently approved as a stallion by the BWP where he earned one of the highest free jump-ing scores to date in the BWP Registry and a note that he will be a stallion to watch for in the international ring one day. He was also the 3 yr. old Free Jumping Reserve Champion at the YHS Finals.

Sire Asca Z (Askari x Carthago) is quickly becoming a household name in the world of Showjumping. This year he was on the win-ning Belgium Nations Cup Team at Spruce Meadows, and has had several top placings in 5* Grand Prix under Christian Ahlmann. Asca was one of the top stallions the year he was approved in Hol-stein before being purchased by Zangersheide. His dam is, without exception, the product of top-class sires, successively Carthago, Caletto II, Ladykiller xx and Raimond. Asca’s eldest offspring are young still with the oldest being 6 years old, but they are quickly becoming sought after in the sport world.

Dam Carraleena (Calato x Cantus), possesses a pedigree bred to jump. Approved as a premium mare in the Holsteiner Stud Book, she throws top quality offspring. Sire Calato is a direct descendent of Capitol I and has performed at the international level himself with top results. He is best known as the sire of Olympic champion Coster, along with countless other top performing horses. Car-raleena’s dam line (Cantus x Landgraf) is no less remarkable as the producers of top showjumpers. Cantus died early before he could reach his peak, leaving his legacy in his winning offspring, notably Calvaro, the Olympic medalist under Willi Melliger. Landgraf is one of the most well known foundation sires of Holsteiner, often referred to as “one of the two great jewels in the crown of modern Holstein breeding.”

Top young son of Cassini I x Acorado x Corleone - stamm 5819, Cartier R is one of several top breeding horses who will ensure that the Cassini I legacy lives on for a long time in the USA.

Cassini I was the winner of the 1994 Federal German show jumping championships and later caused a sensation in the international show jumping sport under Franke Sloothaak, win-ning, among others, the Arnheim Grand Prix, several Nations Cups as well as World Cup show jumping events.

Cassini I is the son of Capitol I, one of the greatest show jumping sires and sire of 40 approved stallions. Cassini I has been at least as successful in breeding, with offspring active in international sport such as Ingmar, Eurocommerce Berlin, Coco, Cavalor Cumano and Carino.

Acorado I won the 1997 Adelheidsdorf stallion performance test, twice receiving 10s for his exceptional jumping ability. In 1999 and 2000, he qualified and competed in the Bundescham-pionat. Unfortunately, Acorado I died before meeting his full potential, but leaves behind almost 20 approved sons to continue his legacy.

Cartier R was the high scoring stallion on the 2012 AHHA inspection tour, earning 51 bonits. He made his pre-green hunter debut in Florida last winter, however, we put him in the jumper ring later that spring and he successfully showed up through 1.10m on the East Coast with Jennifer Ramsey, completing his lifetime license with AHHA. His first foal crop arrived and it is clear that he passes on beautiful heads and necks, great tempera-ments, athleticism and size. Foals are athletic enough for the jumpers and beautiful enough to stand on the line. Cartier will make his 5 year old Young Jumpers debut in Florida. This beau-tiful stallion has an exciting career ahead of him. Cartier R is approved for breeding with AHHA, GOV and sBs.

Coronet D’Honneur is a 2010, 16.3, bay Bavarian Warmblood stallion with four socks and a blaze. He’s by Comme Il Faut (Cornet Obolensky x St.Pr.St. Ratina Z) out of Dorina (Dinard x St.Pr.St. Paola/Pilot). “Honor” was the Reserve Champion Jumping Stallion at the 2013 South German Keuring in Munich, and will be standing at the Zweibrucken Verband in Standenbuhl while preparing for his 70 Day Stallion Test.

Coronet D’Honneur has an incredibly kind disposition, the movement to produce a top hunter, and the scope, bloodlines, and athleticism of a world class jumper. He will be available by frozen semen in North America for 2014.

“Honor’s” sire, Comme Il Faut, passed his 70-day test with the highest jumping index of 140.25, true to the show jumping royalty on both sides of his pedigree. He is by Cornet Obolensky out of Olympic Ratina Z (Ramiro Z x Almé). Cornet Obolensky was hailed as “one of the hottest up and coming young stal-lions in the world,” when he began international competition at age 7. He has continued his winning ways competing under Marco Kutscher, and has proven himself as a sire, with over 100 offspring competing in Germany in Advanced classes with substantial winnings.

His damsire, Dinard L, is by the important show jumping sire Damokles, and is out of Paddy (Pilot), from one of the strongest performing dam lines in Westphalian breeding. Dinard L’s own offspring have won and placed in advanced competition in both dressage and show jumping, as well as competitions for young riders. Dinard L has numerous licensed sons and State Premium daughters. “Honor’s” grandam Paola is by Pilot, the first showjumping stallion whose offspring earned over one million Deutschmarks.

Diabolo d’Esquelmes is the product of an exceptional breeding program in Belgium - one that has produced multiple Grand Prix horses, including Diabolo’s full brother, Uchingo d’Esquelmes with rider Robert Breul in France.

Diabolo is by the great stallion Chin Chin. This exceptional show-jumping stallion possessed a willing and forgiving character combined with an undeniable jumping talent, all of which contributed to his international success.

Chin Chin competed for more than five years at the international level. He achieved amazing success in the show ring, despite the fact that his rider was an amateur. In 1988 Chin Chin won FIVE consecutive times in the North American League on the World Cup circuit and competed in Seoul at the Olympic Games where he placed sixth individually. Four years later, he competed at a second Olympic Games in Barcelona! In 1989 and 1990, he was placed in the final of the World Cup in Both Dortmund and Tampa. In 1990, Chin Chin and Jaime Azcarraga com-peted in the first edition of the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm.

Dam sire Carthago is by Capitol I who needs no introduction. Carthago showed promise early, earning a 9.5 for free jumping and a 10 for jumping talent at his performance test. His illustrious show jumping carrier included winning many Grands Prix as well as competing in 15 Nations Cups. At the 1996 Olympic Games, Carthago finished 11th place individually and also competed for Holland at Sydney Olympic games.

Diabolo d’Esquelmes exhibits International talent. He was identified by Show Jumping judges as a true Grand Prix prospect. Successfully campaigning at the 1.10m as a 4 year old, Di-abolo will make his 5 yo Young Jumpers debut in Florida this winter. His first foal demon-strates his ability to pass on his great talent as well as his beautiful type and temperament.

Donarweiss was Champion of his 30-Day Test with an overall score of 8.33. His versatility was showcased with individual scores of 9 for rideability and jumping technique. In his first season of FEI, Donarweiss was ranked first for the AHS/USDF Hanoverian All-Breed’s Awards. In 2009, Donarweiss won the USDF Region 8 Prix St. Georges Championships. The fol-lowing season Donarweiss finished second in the AHS/USDF Hanoverian All-Breeds Awards and eleventh in the nation for Intermediaire II with scores as high as 72%.

Purchased by Starr Vaughn Equestrian in late 2011, Donarweiss and Genay Vaughn qualified just a few months later for the US Na-tional Championships where they finished third. Later that season they won the Team Silver Medal at the NAYRC. In 2013, the pair qualified for the Bretina Cup National Championships and won the Region 7 USDF Championships for Intermediaire II Jr/Yr.

Donarweiss’s sire, De Niro, was Reserve Champion of his performance test with a score of 141.93. De Niro had a won-derful sport career with over 24 wins at S-Level and has sired 108 States Premium mares, 25 approved sons, and numerous FEI level competitors, earning him the top spot on the 2012 WBFSH Dressage Sire Ranking List. Donarweiss’s damsire, Hohenstein, was Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Test. Further back in Donarweiss’s pedigree we find Archipel, a son of the 1994 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year Argentan, which brings additional scope and jumping ability.

Donarweiss offspring are consistently winning at breed shows, and his oldest offspring are now proving themselves under saddle at both dressage and hunter competitions. Dior (Donarweiss/Enrico Caruso) was the USDF Horse of the Year for weanling fillies in 2011 and Denver HTF (Donarweiss/Riverman) was the Reserve Champion in both 2012 & 2013 for the USDF/GAIG East Coast Finals at Dressage at Devon.

Esteban is a beautiful stallion with fantastic movement. Sire Olympic Idocus is an international Grand Prix dressage stallion who participated in the 2004 Athens Olympics. He is a three-time World Cup participant, placing 6th in 2007 at Las Vegas. He was Grand Champion of his stallion performance test in 2003, and held the highest jumping score of all the stallions. In 1994, Idocus was presented to the Dutch jury at the NA/WPN inspections. He holds the highest score given in the North American Dutch keurings, 99AA. He scored a 9 walk, 8.5 trot, 9.5 canter, 9 for jumping, and a 9 for character. In 1994, he was Grand Champion of Dressage, and returned in 2006 to win the Grand Prix. In 2001, he returned to Holland to be approved by the stallion committee of the KWPN. His offspring are known for their supple movement, excellent temperament, and great rideability.

Damsire Flemmingh carries all of the great Holstein jumping names on his pedigree. His breeding combines the blood of Cor de la Bryère with the Holsteiner Farnese, plus a double dose of Thoroughbred via Ladykiller xx. Flemmingh has been given “Preferent” status by the KWPN.

Flemmingh placed 3rd in his performance test in 1990, scoring three 9s including a 9 for jumping. Flemmingh was described as having “fine movements, an active, roomy walk, a rich trot and a good canter. He is a careful jumper with a lot of talent. He showed to be a willing worker and never seemed to tire.” Flemmingh was described as having sufficient talent in dressage but a lot of promise as a jumper. Flemmingh has five approved sons.

Esteban shows promise for both dressage and hunters. He successfully passed the 2013 70 day stallion test with above average movement scores, especially his canter. He can produce foals for RPSI, sBs and is activated with KWPN. We are excited to see his career develop.

Photo: Flashpoint PhotographyPhoto: Pam Norton

Figaro B’s sire, Pavarotti vd Helle has consistently produced offspring at the highest levels of both dressage and jumping competition including Quintus who placed 10th at the Beijing Olympic Games in showjumping. Pavarotti himself was the Reserve Champion of the jumping test for Rheinland and West-falen as well as the BWP. Following a trailer accident, Pavarotti became a champion dressage performer. The descendants of Pavarotti are notable for their good looks. They also combine super movement with excellent jumping technique.

Figaro B’s grandsire, Pilot is without doubt the best Westphalian producer of jumpers. Pilot has produced about thirty Grand Prix horses including Priamos, Bugatti Pedro, Piro, and Panama. Damsire Wellington was Reserve Champion of the stallion testing in 1983 and went on to place 3rd in the National stallion competition in 1985, 2nd in the 1987 competition, and 1st in the stallion competition category C. He also starred in dressage at Z-level and jumped nationally. He earned his “keur” predicate by siring many “ster” and “keur” mares, and approved stallions like Emilion, Farrington, and Glennridge.

True to his pedigree, Figaro B is a powerful jumper with beauti-ful movement. He was the 2010 Gulfport High Pre Green Circuit Champion. He also successfully completed the 2010 70-day Stallion Test, earning nine’s for his character and work ethic, as well as from the guest jumper riders. Figaro made his debut in the 1st Year Hunters with Holly Shepherd in 2011, winning several Champion and Reserve Champions at Gulfport. He was also successful in the USHJA Hunter Derbies, finishing 6th out of 50 entries in his debut.

Figaro’s offspring reliably inherit his good looks and exceptional movement. Daughter Glissade placed 2nd in yearling HB at Lexington Nat’l Horse Show and 3rd at Warrenton. Easy to start under saddle, his offspring should excel in the hunter ring. { {

“Whiskie” (his SW registered name) is a “once in a lifetime” horse. True to his Voltaire lineage, the sire of Electro, he jumped his way into the heart of his owner, Carol Cone, from their very first horse show in 2004 at the Winter Equestrian Festival. From there he captured every coveted Adult Amateur Hunter championships a rider could imagine:

2006 WCHR National Adult Hunter Champion

2006 Grand Adult Hunter, Winter Equestrian Festival

2007 Grand Adult Hunter, Winter Equestrian Festival

2010 3'3" Adult Hunter Reserve Champion WEF

Harmony Bay’s expressive jumping style was exciting, having gained scores in the 90s the previous Fall at the Capital Challenge Horse Show in the WCHR Challenge Class with rider Nora Fredrickson. As a 3' AA Hunter, he retained his amazing scope, capturing championships and grand championships at all major competitions entered.

Simply put, Harmony Bay is “all heart.” He was a joy to show, easy to prepare for the ring, totally consistent outdoors, indoors, in good weather and bad. He was a master at his job and truly loved it.

While striking in looks, he also has a delightful temperament. He is a gentleman to work around, from his groom, to vet, to farrier. He is so even-tempered that trail riding was a wonderful diversion to the show ring. And when in the breeding shed, he continues to be extremely well-mannered.

While early in his breeding career, Harmony Bay has been cho-sen for breeding by the most discerning professionals including: Havens Schott, Nora and Morgan Thomas, Tim and Kelly Goguen, and Linda Langmeier. Renowned champion hunter mares who have bred to him include In Return, Mimosa, and Estrella.

Imothep is also now listed as KWPN-NA Crown Erkend stallion. He has a wonderful temperament, class A jumping style and impressive athletic power and movement. He is naturally balanced, careful, and confident.

In 2007, Imothep was victorious in his sporting debut in jumping tests Class A and L in Germany. In 2008 he was the winner in the young horse M classes with scores up to 8 and 9. These results qualified him for the FEI World Breeding Championships for young horses in Lanaken, Belgium in 2009.

In 2010 he began his sport career in the US by winning several 7/8-year-old YJC classes.

Marseille: a 2010 Trakehner stallion born in Denmark, licensed in Germany and owned in the USA.

Marseille is a large framed, impressive stallion in all aspects of his conformation with a harmonious profile in carriage. He is blessed with enormous elasticity, movement with alignment, amplitude and balance particularly in his ground-covering walk and uphill canter.

Not only has the Dressage discipline been laid into his cradle, but at the jump, Marseille knows to convince breeders with his phenomenal technique. In his Freejumping he shows himself with exceptional manners and tremendous jumping talent, dem-onstrating scope and purview.

The Trakehner Verband Breed Director Lars Gehrmann described him at his Licensing as “impressive, harmonious and well balanced, significant towards his total grading as a breeding stallion.”

Marseille has been contracted to Landgestüt Zweibrücken, he has been in training with Dorothea Schneider (Olympic Silver Dres-sage), ridden by Natalia Cherevishnya (UKR). Marseille has the honor of licensing with PRSP (RPSI and all Southern German Breed Registries). In 2013 he competed in five riding horse com-petitions (3- to 4-year-olds), placing in all with three firsts and a Championship. The 30-Day Test awarded him the highest score, including two 10s, of all Trakehner stallions in Germany for 2013.

His sire, Prince Patmos, was highest-priced and Reserve Cham-pion Stallion in Neumünster 2008. His granddam is one of the last living Donauwind daughters. The illustrious EH Gribaldi is his dam’s grandsire. His dam line has produced Grand Prix horses and licensed stallions: Mahon, Maiklang, Maizauber, Meilenstein, Mohammed and Namur.

Proudly we offer Marseille, “a stallion as you wish for, uncomplicated, elegant and eager to please with a tremendous work ethic.”

We eagerly await his 2014 foal crop!

Maximus is an approved German Sport Horse and sired by Mynos, a very successful show hunter and producer of quality hunters and jumpers alike. Mynos passes on the beauty of his type, softness of his mouth and gaits, and a lightness to comple-ment his scope and athletic ability.

This legendary sire is known for passing perfect jumping style to his progeny. Maximus is lucky enough to have inherited the best qualities from all of his bloodlines. He is an athlete with beauty, brains, and balance to target the repro-duction of American Hunters. IHF nominated. He is registered with Southern German Breeding Association (AGS).

Novalis is a strong competitor in the jumper ring, having shown in North America and Europe to Grand Prix- 1.5 meters under riders Markus Beerbaum, Marc Houtzager, and Laura Kraut. Novalis com-peted at top shows against tough competition with excellent results.

Novalis is a proven jumper stallion who is exceptionally well bred. Novalis is one of the few sons available from the legendary Jus de Pomme. Jus de Pomme was the double Gold Medal winner in Show Jumping at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He was the only horse to compete with no jumping faults. At the time of his death he had winnings of over $100,000.00.

Novalis’s dam line is equally impressive. His dam is the Ster Pref-erent mare Jacintha whose sire is Ramiro Z. Ramiro Z has been labeled the “Stallion of the Century” and is a leading sire of both jumpers and dressage horses. Novalis’s granddam, the Preferent mare Fantasia, is a full sister to the Dutch stallions Wellington and Elberton. The great grandsire Nimmerdor was the KWPN Stallion of the Century 2000.

Accomplishments: 1st place $1,500 Futures Class at The Thunderbird Spring Classic 4th place $7,000 Milner Downs Grand Prix 4th place $20,000 Jaguar Landrover of Richmond Grand Prix 3rd Place $5,000 Milner Downs Grand Prix 4th Place $25,000 Shevlin Sand and Gravel Grand Prix 4th Place $10,000 Open Welcome Jumper 2nd Place $75,000 CSI** Keg Grand Prix 7th place $25,000 Atco Frontec Cup 3rd place $25,000 Phillips, Hager and North Barrage

Novalis produces offspring with correct conformation, excellent temperaments, jumping ability and his trademark gallop! His foals have super temperaments, and a strong desire to please. They are also proving themselves to be super competition horses, and are performing very well in sport. Novalis offers legendary and hard-to-find bloodlines for the Jumper and the Hunter ring.

urg

Obourg descends from one of the best French dam lines to date. As a young horse, Obourg was considered one of the BEST jumpers of the Belgian Young Horse circuit. After his importation to the United States, he continued a very successful career at the Grand Prix level with Olympian Lisa Jaquin. Together, they would have several top placings in the Grand Prix divisions throughout North America.

Obourg’s sire, Richebourg, is highly ranked in the Belgian index of show jumping sires, and is considered one of the best stallions of his time. Richebourg is half brother to Olympic Quintus who finished 10th in the 2008 Olympic Games. As a 4 & 5 year old, Richebourg was crowned the Belgian Champion, and incredibly went on to be crowned the 6 and 7 year old Champion in France. At the age of 8, Richebourg was crowned the Belgian Champion with rider Jean-Claude Van Geenberghe, and at age 9 “Horse of the Year.” Richebourg is an astounding example of his superb pedigree and passes along his greatest assets to his son Obourg.

Richebourg’s Dam, Opaline des Pains, is one of the best breeding mares in history, who produced seven Olympic Champions! She produced approved stallions Jus de Pomme, Richebourg, Shogun, Quintus and Tresor d’Opaline.

On the Dam side we find the famous stallion Oberon Du Moulin. This great stallion had career winnings of over $180,000 and was a finalist at the Fontainebleau 4,5 and 6 year old Championships. Throughout his career he placed in more than 20 National and International Grand Prix classes before he was retired to stud in 1996.

Obourg is a superb sport horse and a fantastic progenitor. His offspring are hugely successful on the Interna-tional sport scene. His daughter Espyrante, ridden by Aiken Sato, was winner of the Horseware GP at WEF in 2013 and they continue their success all over the world. Anoth-er daughter, Hertogin Odeveld, was overall champion of the 3- to 6-year-old mares at the National BWP mare show in Belgium in 2013.

Popeye finished fourth overall at his 30-Day test in Germany with an 8.3 overall. His score highlights include a 9 and 9.5 for his walk and a well-deserved 9 for character. In 2007, Popeye impressed both the spectators and the judges at Dressage Devon and was the Reserve Champion of the USDF/GAIG East Coast Stallion Final and winner of the Westfalen class with a score over 80%. Popeye showed through Fourth Level dressage with scores into the 70s. He was the 2010 USDF All-Breeds Cham-pion at Third Level for Westfalens and was the 2011 Reserve Champion at Fourth Level at the BLM Finals. To showcase his versatility, Popeye began eventing in the fall of 2012. He easily tackled Novice courses and moved to Training Level in the fall of 2013.

Popeye’s sire, FS Pour l’Amour, competed in the Bundescham-pionat for dressage ponies three times and has sired a number of approved sons and several highly decorated mares. Popeye’s dam, Nice Touch, a Westphalian breeding federation show winner, is a States Premium mare by Night Star I. In addition to Popeye she has produced four St. Premium daughters. Night Star I won his licensing and placed second at the Bundeschampionat for show jumping ponies in 1987.

Popeye has sired a high percentage of Premium offspring, has multiple Breed Show winners to his credit, and his oldest offspring have proven exceptionally easy to start and are winning under saddle. Kind eyes, intelligent and willing characters, and three quality gaits have come through strongly in Popeye’s early foal crops. Popeye has been bred to both pony and horse mares with outstanding results.

Puccini is a beautiful liver chestnut stallion with three superb gaits and an incredible temperament and work ethic. Puccini has an impressive show record in the US and in Europe. Some of his career highlights include:

• 6th place in the Pavo Cup as a 4 year old

• Champion 2005 4th Level Freestyle Great American/USDF Championships

• 3rd Place 2005 4th Level Open CDS Horse of the Year

• 3rd Place 2005 4th Level Freestyle CDS Horse of the Year

• 4th Place 2005 4th Level Open Great American/USDF Championships

He has also earned scores up to 77% at 4th level, has shown through PSG, and was schooling all of the Grand Prix. Sadly, his competition career was cut short due to an unfortunate stabling accident. Even with such an impressive show record, what stands out the most when meeting Puccini in person is his incredible temperament, which, along with his gaits and talent, he passes on to his foals.

Ragtime has tremendous athleticism, beautiful confirmation and a wonderful temperament, all of which he passes on to his off-spring. As a three year old he received top scores at his 100 day test, including receiving the high score for rideability. Ragtime has been a consistent champion in the Regular Working Hunter and the Regular Confirmation Hunter divisions. In 2004, Ragtime was ranked fourth nationally by USEF in the Regu-lar Confirmation Hunters. He was the American Hanoverian Society Champion in both the Regular Working Hunters and Regular Confirmation Hunters in 2003 and 2004. In addition to his numerous championships and reserve championships in the hunter ring, he has proven his versatility by garnering wins in both the jumper and equitation rings.

In 2010 and 2011 Ragtime garnered the USEF Hunter Breed-ing Sire of the Year Award. Ragtime has produced many foals that have been Premium branded at the breed inspections. Rag-time’s offspring dominated the 2010 and 2011 Hunter Breeding Divisions at the national level, winning multiple Horse of the Year titles. In Zone 10, many Ragtime offspring have and are earning top awards. Ragtime has also been very well represented in the Sallie B. Wheeler Championship and the IHF West Coast Championships.

Richard, an imported KWPN stallion, is the son of Kroongraaf whose sire, Burggraaf is considered one of the most successful sport horse sires. Kroongraaf ’s dam, Rianne, can be considered as one of the best Dutch dams ever. She is the full sister of the international jumping horse Optiebeurs Surprise, and in com-bination with 4 different stallions she produced 3 international show jumping horses and two licensed stallions, Kroongraaf and Candy Surprise. She is the dam of Katie Monahan-Prudent’s show mare, Belladonna.

Richard’s dam, Cendy is from the Dutch mare line fokfamilie 69, which has produced several licensed stallions and numerous horses successful in sport. She is by the important stallion, Le Mexico and she is a ¾ sibling to the great stallion, Ulft.

Richard is the ultimate “equine athlete” and brings the full pack-age – pedigree, athleticism, looks and a fabulous temperament. He was shown successfully in both the Hunter Ring and the Show Jumper Ring including the Grand Prix level in the US. He has Grand Champion wins on the AA circuit in both Green Conformation Hunter and Regular Working Hunter. He was shown in the Jumper Ring in Holland prior to importation to the US in 2004.

Richard is also siring “equine athletes” who are inheriting his looks, athleticism and temperament. With one limited crop in Europe he has offspring competing successfully in Holland and Poland in jumpers, dressage and eventing. First full US crop was born in 2011. His son Alla’Mour was 2012 Adequan/USDF All-Breed Award, Champion current year foal, Oldenburg NA/ISR and 6th overall. His son Lune de Miel was 2012 Adequan/USDF All-Breed Award, Champion yearling, BWP. His filly, Ignatia LJS, is the #3 KWPN Jumper foal for 2013.

Are you looking to produce an exquisite and rideable German Riding Pony from your medium-sized Warmblood, TB, Anglo or Half-Arabian mare? Smoke Tree Snapdragon is an exception-ally prepotent sire of big-moving and beautiful-type Premium foals who are easy to train and nearly always have BLING! Snapdragon combines exquisite type, correct conformation and elastic-floating movement with the proven and prepotent Euro-pean Welsh Section B lines of Bunbury, Downland, Coed Coch, and Smoke Tree Spun Gold, who also appears as the sire of Smoke Tree Dragon Tail of Orchard Hill Farm, #1 hunter pony in zone 4, and as dam-sire of 3rd Level dressage stallion Smoke Tree Gold Fever.

Snapdragon continues his training under saddle, and always gives his rider 110%. Over fences he is proving to be care-ful, round and snappy over the top, like his name. In 2013 this golden pony stallion began his training in harness and is proving to be a natural for Combined Driving. He continues to demon-strate that he is made of solid character, is forward and willing to learn.

Offspring: Smoke Tree Snapdragon consistently sires very typey, beautiful-moving offspring that earn high inspection scores and those started under saddle are also proving to be extremely will-ing, rideable and talented. Paired with a medium sized warm-bloods with TB or Arabian influences, Snapdragon has consis-tently produced outstanding riding pony prospects expected to mature to large ponies.

Snapdragon sired the 2013 champion RPSI pony colt - SF Starstuck was awarded an 8.8 overall; the reserve pony colt on the 2012 RPSI Keuring Tour SF Solaris, and the champion of the 2011 Keuring Tour SF Spirit. In 2013 SF Spirit was licensed for Pony Stallion Book 1.

Val’s sire, Ahorn, is descended from the famous Holstein family 242. His mother produced four approved stallions. Ahorn competed at the top international level, consistently placing in World Cups, Nations Cups and Grand Prix competitions. He was also short-listed for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games with rider Roelof Bril. Ahorn is a powerful producer of keur mares, stallions and sport horses includ-ing many European and Dutch Champions. He was recognized by the KWPN for his outstanding contribu-tion in breeding by being awarded the preferent status.

Val de Loir-Imoo’s maternal grandsire, Jus de Pomme, was an international sensation. Although he died at the young age of 10, Jus de Pomme laid his place in history by winning the individual and team gold medals at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Jus de Pomme produced many approved sons and upper level sporthorses. His dam, Opaline des Pains, is one of the best breeding mares in history, who produced seven Olympic Champions! She produced approved stallions Jus de Pomme, Richebourg, Shogun, Quintus and Tresor D’Opaline.

This tremendous line-up in Val’s pedigree cannot be missed or ignored! His powerful physique and confor-mation make him a superb option for breeders looking to add bone and scope to their mares.

Valentino Z is a son of Darco, without doubt one of the best sport stallions in history. Under Ludo Phillipaerts, Darco was 6th in the WC in Stockholm 1990, and 7th in the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. Darco consistently passes on his jumping talent to his offspring. More than forty registered offspring in the Breed-ing Guide for international jumpers turns Darco into one of the most influential stallions of all time, including the ranking of #1 showjumping sire in 2008. Damsire Feo de Lauzelle produced a range of international jumpers including It’s Me, Miss Flo and Tiramisu. The mother line of Valentino Z includes the French stallions Iveday (Night and Day xx) and Quastor (Ibrahim) and the mare Une Page (Quest France - Fra Diavolo xx). Une Page was the grandmother of the French stallions Lotus du Marais (Nankin), Leopard du Marais (Silver Matal xx) and Ouragan du Marais (Hadj A). Night and Day XX was the sire of Primo des Bruyeres, who in turn sired Olympic Jus de Pomme. Valentino Z brings a very exciting pedigree to North America!

Valentino Z has recently gone back into the show ring with great results! Packing his amateur owner, Valentino Z brings home blue ribbons as well as placing in the money in the $5000 Jumper Classic with Rick Harris.

Valentino Z was owned by Stud Zangersheide and ridden by Judy Ann Melchior and Edouard Mathe.

Vallado was champion of his 30 day stallion test with exceptional scores for character and rideability. He completed his stallion licensing requirements by qualifying for the 6-year-old young jumpers. He also had tremendous success in the hunter ring, shown as Praise by Kelley Farmer, and currently standing 13th in USHJA International Hunter Derby lifetime money earned.

Vallado comes from the successful Now or Never M and Saros xx cross that is producing many outstanding young sport horses, premium mares, and approved stallions. Now or Never M is from the exceptional bloodlines of Voltaire (jumping index 152 / dressage index 130), Nimmerdor (jumping index 156), and Maykel, sire of the international show jumper Cavalier. Vallado’s dam, a Ster Predicate mare, was sired by the improvement Thoroughbred sire, Saros (dressage index 156), who comes from a strong line of successful steeplechasers, race winners, and sport horses. Saros’ dam also produced Swazi, the sire of the good Trakehner stallion Consul. Vallado’s second dam, a Keur Predicate mare, was sired by the Holsteiner stallion Important. Vallado’s third dam, Jacaranda, produced Baranda, dam of the approved stallions Alchimist, Gouverneur, Uccello, as well as Feranda, who was very successful in dressage in addition to producing the approved stallion Terrano. Jacaranda was sired by the Holsteiner stallion Amor (jumping index 139), a very successful sire with Dutch mares producing many international competition horses and approved stallions.

Vallado is producing exceptional offspring with great athletic ability and sensitive, rideable minds. Approved stallion son Silver Creek’s Validation is proving successful in the jumper ring in Europe, Vanity is compet-ing with good ribbons in the pre-green hunters, and Victorious was the Champion jumper bred colt for the GOV tour in 2011.

Vuv

a Z

Vuvuzela Z (Vagabond de la Pomme x Casantos) is a modern, athletic stallion. He was recently approved by BWP head stal-lion by judge Boudewijn Schepers where his movement was remarked upon as well as his loose elastic style of going. Vuvu has placed highly in all of his free jumping classes, showing off his carefulness and exceptional hind end. As a colt, he was one of the youngest to be presented at the Z-Festival where he placed 5th out of 250+ colts. He will show off his athleticism with a giant, inflatable soccer ball, knocking it around the paddock for hours. This is fitting; after all, his name stems from the trium-phant horns used to cheer on soccer championships.

Possessing a dream pedigree full of international Grand Prix Showjumpers, Vuvu is destined for greatness. His sire, Vagabond de la Pomme has recently made his debut onto the international scene with tremendous success under top French rider Penelope Leprevost. Competing at the top international level, Vagabond has had many top placings recently, with high hopes for his fu-ture. Vagabond, in addition to Vuvuzela, sired one of the cham-pion young stallions at the BWP Stallion Inspection in Belgium. Vagabond possesses an amazing pedigree on both the dam and sire side. Vagabond’s sire was the World Equestrian Games 2010 winner Vigo D’Arsouilles by Nabad de Reve, and the dam line of Vagabond is equally if not more impressive, having four dams on the dam line which themselves performed in the sport at top level: Sauterelle de la Pomme, Narcotique de Muze, Qerly Chin, and Kerly. On Vuvu’s dam side the Holsteiner progenitors Con-tender, Cassini I, and Lord are united. Great granddam Halicia carries a considerable amount of Thoroughbred blood and descends from Julio Mariner, Goldschlager, Grand Empereur, and Miller’s Grey. This mare’s line produced, amongst others, the Grand Prix horses Tilbert, Dior, and Goliath.

Balta’Czar’s sire is Alla’Czar, a #1 hunter sire in the US. He is by the great Zeus (Nurzeus), sire of international stars such as Midnight Madness (M. Whitaker), Zander Z ( J. Lansink), Swift and VDL Marlon.

The flagship mare of Jump Start Farm, Jeté (Balta’Czar’s dam), who brought us 3 approved stallions and 11 premium foals, carries two crosses (3 X 3 SD) from the stallion who revolutionized the entire Holsteiner breed: Cor de la Bryere.

Earning his life-time approval through sport, Balta’Czar shines in many venues. With limited showing he has proven himself in the competitive hunter world and has most recently been successful in the Hunter Derby arena. With no previous dressage experience Balta’Czar danced at 4th level with scores up to 75%, which earned him PHR National Champion title at 4th level. Balta’Czar has also shown off his careful technique and quick reflexes in the jumper ranks, finishing with double clears and high placings.

Sire of countless premium foals, Balta’Czar’s true gift is as sire. Balta’Czar can always be counted on to improve the mare he is bred to. In the breeding world there are very few improvement sires; Balta’Czar is one of them.

Findus is the total package! He had a successful career showing in the Grand Prix Jumpers, Regular Working Hunters, and Adult Amateur Hunters. He has the talent for any professional yet the temperament for an Amateur. His talent and easy going Amateur friendly attitude has been proven to be passed to his foals. Not to mention his pedigree that contains some of the best Hanoverian and Holsteiner breeding. His foals are eligible in many European registries.

Findus is by For Pleasure (Furioso II/Grannus) who is a two-time Olympic Gold Medal winner, World Champion, Hanove-rian Stallion of the year in 2000, and German horse of the year in 1995. For Pleasure won 1.8 million euro in prize money. His sire, Furioso II, is considered one of the most influential sport horse sires in the world who, in 1989, was the top sire in Ger-many based on money earned by his get.

Findus’ damsire, Chanel, is by Caletto I (Cor de la Bryere/Consul). Chanel, when crossed with For Feeling (by For Pleasure) produced another approved stallion son in Hannover, For Good Feeling, who won his 30 day stallion testing. For Good Feeling and Findus are ¾ siblings. Interestingly, Chanel’s dam, Lorraine (by Landadel) is out of Gigantin - dam of For Pleasure. This makes a “circular pedigree” strengthening the prized genes in the offspring.

Findus’ first foal to hit the ground, “Fritsy,” went Supreme at her inspection and also was awarded the second highest score Nationally for fillies and mares in 2012.

Findus is proudly offered at stud to outside mares for the 2014 breeding season.

World Champion at Jerez 2002, Olympic competitor, and winner of numerous international Grands Prix with Eric Navet, Dollar du Murier was a world class show jumper.

With few offspring, such as current European Champion Castle Forbes Myrtile Paulois, Dollar sits 24th in the world on WBFSH.

Dollar du Murier is equally great as a sire and as a competition horse, bringing scope and blood, great canter and perfect form over the fence. Dollar gives his lion’s heart to his get.

Dollar du Murier is the best show jumping competitor and producer of showjumpers available today in the US.

Unfortunately Dollar du Murier is no longer with us, so his se-men is limited. Don’t miss out on this world-class performer and producer of world champions!

Jaguar Mail’s jumping is characterized by his scope and rideability and his International career has been exceptional. He has placed at the French & Swedish Championships, the World Breeding Championships, won the “Sires of the World” competition, and was a member of the Swedish Nations Cup and Olympic Teams.

Jaguar Mail’s sire is the Thoroughbred Hand In Glove whose sport career included dressage to Prix St. Georges and Grand Prix show jumping. Jaguar Mail’s dam, Elvira Mail, has also produced the World Cup participant and WEG Silver Medalist Katchina Mail.

Jaguar produces excellent horses in multiple disciplines, but it is as an event sire that he is especially regarded. Every year he sires offspring that are earning top places in the Young Event Horse Championships at Pompadour and in 2012 he is listed on the WBFSH Sire Rankings for Eventing.

Juan Valdez Carolina is dually approved as a breeding stallion by the Selle Français Association and International Sporthorse Registry-Oldenburg Registry North America. He has an excellent combination of French/Trakehner bloodlines that provide a perfect mix of temperament, talent and bloodlines to produce in the three disciplines.

Juan Valdez Carolina is a beautiful black stallion with three superb gaits and an incredible temperament and work ethic. He has a correct conformation with an excellent topline. His presence is eye-catching and elegant. However, it is his gentleness, honest work ethic, and sound mind that make him a remarkable stallion. He epitomizes what you are looking for in a stallion, with beautiful conformation, good bloodlines, athleticism, and a calm and honest disposition.

In the early part of his career Juan Valdez competed in jumping and thereafter moved to dressage. His athleticism, suppleness and temperament have enabled him to be easily trained through the upper levels. He is currently performing at the FEI Levels with good and consistent results.

Juan Valdez Carolina has proven to be an excellent sire. He stamps his foals with his black color and athletic movements. His offspring are honest, sensible, trainable, and fast learners. They are supple, through and balanced which, aided by their excellent temperament, have made them outstanding modern sport horses.

Quite Easy’s sire, Quidam de Revel, helped win the Team Bronze at the 1992 Olympics and placed 4th individually and has produced many internationally successful offspring. Quite Easy’s dam Birte II is by the legendary Landgraf and is out of the highly celebrated mare U-Capitola. U-Capitola is the full-sister to the stallions Capitol I-III and produced four approved sons.

Quite Easy was successful in sport up to 1.60 meters, or the Grand Prix level. He was 2nd in Sweden’s outdoor championships and was the winner of Sweden’s 7 & 8 Year Old Championships.

In Quite Easy’s early foal crops we saw Swedish National Champions such as Phillipa S and Quite Lovely earning multiple scores of 9 and even 10. As they entered the competi-tion arena, the success continued including Quilamba’s National Championships and QL’s 3rd place finish at the World Champi-onships for Young Horses in Jumping as a five year-old. We now see numerous Quite Easy offspring winning in the upper levels of show jumping and eventing. Jackson Hole is an international show jumping competitor under well-known rider Harrie Smolders and US-bred mare Over Easy competes advanced level eventing with her owner/breeder. Quite Easy appeared on the Top 100 of the WBFSH Show Jumping Sire Rankings in 2012.

North American breeders are lucky to have access to a stallion of Quite Easy’s caliber through his excellent quality frozen semen and conception rates. His quick reactions, scope, and strong hind end transmit consistently to his offspring and he is a top choice for serious jumper breeders as well as breeders looking for an all-around athlete.

Tresor Mail is one of many Jaguar Mail offspring excelling in eventing and his promise as both a competitor and a future sire is intriguing. Tresor Mail’s dam is by the international showjumper Iowa. Among his many wins was the Sires of the World competition in Belgium in 1999. The granddam, Nighty Fontaine, produced the great stallion Alligator Fontaine and her dam produced the stallion I Love You. I Love You was the World Cup Final winner and 1983 AGA Horse of the Year in the US.

In 2011 Tresor Mail placed third in the French 4-year-old Eventing Final at Pompadour. The following season he was the second highest money winner of all five-year-olds in France. He won his first outing in 2013, and as of August 1st was ranked 4th for all six-year-olds. He has once again qualified for the National Finals.

NEW in 2014!

For the first time ever, SWANA is offering any breeder an incentive, to be awarded to a 2014, Swedish-registered foal in the U.S. or Canada. The foal must be registered SWANA and can be out of any mare that is bred to an approved SWANA stallion. A video clip, to be supplied by the breeder and sent to SWANA before September 30, 2014, will be evaluated in Sweden by three selected Swedish judges. No one from the 2014 SWANA inspection team will be on the panel. This 2014 Champion SWANA foal will win a minimum of $2,000, pos-sibly more, with 70% of the total going directly to the breeder and 30% to the owner of the foal at the time of the video. So take a chance and win money breeding to an approved Swedish stallion!

Briar has over 30 International GP wins including 3 Olympic games, 6 World Cups, 6 times Swedish Champion, and 9 time ranked #1 horse in the World by the World Federation of Sport Horse Breeders. He is the only horse both as a breeding stallion or individual competitor to ever ac-complish this feat. Briar has had the longest career of any Sport-horse on record and competed at the International GP level for a record 10 years with no unsoundness in mind or limb. He was ranked as the #1 Happiest Competition Horse in the World by both International Judges and fellow competitors alike. Briar has produced many approved sons in Europe, Aus, Scandinavia and N.A. Many of these are currently or previously competing to the Grand Prix levels in both Dressage and Jumping.

Briar competed at the International level while simultaneously performed his stallion duties. A feat that only a stallion with ex-traordinary temperament could accomplish and no other stallion did. Briar consistently passes his wonderfully kind temperament, long correct legs, big comfortable gaits, work ethic and beauty to offspring regardless of qualities of dam.

Briar’s bloodline is traditional and richly Swedish with the famed Utrillo blood through the Olympic jumper sire Magini. And Kaliber blood from his dam’s side with the Cham-pion Krocket and Illum sires in addition. Kyra Kyrklund commented,”I would give my soul for that horse!” Jan Brink commented, “Briar is the most talented and willing horse that I have ever sat upon.”

Briar is available both fresh and frozen semen. Standing in Eu-rope Briar’s fresh semen imported and delivered to your Veteri-narian within 30 hours of collection. (we are the only US agents importing fresh semen according to the USDA). We personally handle all import customs arrivals ourselves to ensure proper handling and delivery to you.

As a two-year-old, Cantando was praised by the Swedish judges as being a modern sport type stallion prospect with a special jumping style and ability. One year later, Cantando was granted his breeding license with SWANA.

Cantando has good proportions and balance. He possesses a great deal of jumping capacity, with a strong take-off and a clean jump. Cantando’s movement is light, correct and ground-cover-ing. He is a stallion with a large, long, but not heavy frame.

Now as a shining young stallion, Cantando has started his jump-ing career and is turning heads. He won several jumper classes during his first season of showing and is sure to impress even more this coming year.

Isos

Comments: Isos is currently training all Grand Prix movements. He is always so willing to learn and work.

2013 Show Season was very successful compet-ing at Intermediaire 1. Isos spent last winter training in California with internationally recognized trainers Kathleen Raine & David Whiteman.

In 2006-ISOS 1st year competing in Open Competition- won-2006 Champion Open Training Level-CSDEA( Placed Top Ten --USDF Region IV Dressage Championships-Open 1st Level-2006 -- Top Ten-CSDEA Open 1st Level).

Both Isos and his offspring draw attention whenever they go out. One of his daughters was at a clinic and one viewer said “she moves like she doesn’t have a bone in her body”. A judge once commented on Isos’s movement stating that “he is the epitome of a perfect dressage horse.

Isos has far surpassed our expectations as a breeding stallion he is putting his lightness,suspension, and beautiful movement on part-bred mares as well as purebreds. As one client put it and I quote “I believe you could breed Isos to a goat and get that beautiful movement.” He has been bred to warm-bloods, Morgans, Arabians, Qtr. Horses, Paints, Pintos, Thor-oughbreds, and Ponies with the same wonderful results plus size, intel-ligence, kindness, loving dispositions, very athletic willing and wanting to learn. You truly have to see to appreciate. You won’t be disappointed.

We now have Isos offspring on the show circuit scoring in the high 60-70% usually every time out living up to our expectations and more. Two of Isos’s offspring competed in the CSDEA championship show in the fall of 2013. His one son took the championship at both Training and First Level and his daughter took the reserve championship in the same First Level class. Both scores were near 70%!

Isos’s babies look and move like their daddy. Beautiful light movers, unbelievable suspension, very correct conformation, and wonderful loving dispositions. Eager and loving, they want to learn and be with you.

Horses like these are few and far between. They are every owner’s dream.

A member of the Dutch A-Team, Lingh won extensive Grands Prix at CDIs across Europe under Edward Gal. His career high-light was his breathtaking win of the Grand Prix Silver Medal at the 2005 World Cup in Las Vegas. His rise to success in the international arena impressed the KWPN licensing committee and they awarded Lingh his lifetime breeding license. Under current owner and amateur rider Karin Offield, Lingh created an impressive presence in the United States. Lingh’s elegant exterior, his lengthy, uphill neck and beautifully angled shoulder emphasize his extreme, natural shoulder freedom. He bears a good croup and correct, straight legs.

Lingh comes from the famous KWPN dressage stallion, Flem-mingh, sire of Anky van Grunsven’s Krack C. Further in Lingh’s top pedigree are Landgraf, Capitano, Cor de la Bryère, and Ladykiller. Lingh’s dam Gazelle was awarded highest honors by the KWPN: Ster, Preferent, Prestatie. Her bloodlines include Columbus, Uppercut xx, and Cesar. Columbus, an international jumper, was sired by the renowned thoroughbred stallion Lucky Boy.

Lingh is strong and healthy today, happily living out his years at Stal Birkhof in the south of Germany where he continues to ser-vice mares across Europe. Hassler Dressage continues to manage his services for the North American market and EquiBreed NZ Ltd has inventory available for the New Zealand and Australian markets.

Mare Owners, don’t miss the opportunity to access Lingh during these final years of his breeding life! Karl Henrik-Heimdahl, Flyinge’s former Breeding Director emphatically adds, “Lingh is suitable for most kind of mares.” Susanne Hassler, Direc-tor of Breeding at Hassler Dressage. “I am looking forward to seeing his legacy endure for years to come!“ Hassler Dressage is accepting applications for mares to be considered for his remaining influence.

Dark bay (almost black), Masterpiece has incredible movement. He has scores as high as 84% under saddle, 88% in hand, 9 gaits, and a perfect 10 walk!

Reserve Champion at his 2004 stallion test, he qualified FEI and open 3rd level at 5 years old. He was 2009 USDF DSHB Champion Stallion with the highest median score ever given for USDF DSHB: 87.250%. He has won at DAD, and in 2010 he was SWANA HOY at 1st & 2nd Level, 2nd at 3rd Level. Of foals we have bred and presented, all but one have been Class I or premium. Masterpiece is sire of two SWANA-registered sons who have provisional breeding licenses from ISR/Oldenburg: Merry Me and Midnight Mashka. They will be presented for approval by SWANA in 2014. In 2010 SWANA inspectors recommended Masterpiece semen for exporting to Sweden.

Sire: Master 850 was Kyra Kirklund’s World Cup Champion mount and winner of the Swedish dressage championships for five- and six-year-olds. He was an Olympic hopeful, winning almost every class entered, before contracting Lyme disease. Master is sire of many World Cup qualifiers, and Tip Top 962, the only horse to win the Swedish Triple Crown (dressage championships for four-, five- and six-year-olds).

Dam: Miss Nickle Annie has shown very successfully in dressage (a 70% avg.), hunter (Horse of the Year titles, 2nd in the Medal Finals), and eventing (undefeated). She is dam of another ap-proved stallion, GP Raymeister, highest scoring stallion at the 2002 Stallion Test. He has won 7 USDF HOY Titles (including PSG and I2), 13 All Breed Titles, and 8 Regional Champion-ships. He has scored in the 80’s at Training and First Level and in the 70s at Third, Fourth and Prix St Georges. His approved son Rashka is the highest scoring stallion in the history of U.S. testing: 164.86!

Apollo SunTrakehner

Apollo Sun is a 16.2 h, bay ATA approved stallion by Tribute out of Anhanglich by Egmont. He was one of only two stallions approved in 2006 by the ATA. He is absolutely breathtaking, scoring 80% at his first show. Apollo Sun scored a 62 at his ap-proval, earning a 9 on his trot. Comments from the inspection committee include: “excellent character, rhythm, and tempera-ment, outstanding movement, with his hock and knee action close to ideal. Apollo Sun demonstrates modern sport horse movement and possesses much potential.” Apollo is currently standing at Royal Palm Farms in Eufaula, Alabama with An-drew Palmer as his trainer.

Comments from his rider:

Apollo Sun possesses the qualities that draw attention wherever he goes with very modern, round movement and freedom in the shoulder desired by the competitive dressage rider. He has a natural swing through the back that gives the appearance of ease and relaxation in every gait. He is an ambassador for the Trakehner in modern sport, leaving a lasting impression on all who meet him.

Ballzauber was bred by Vera Feist of Germany and is a son of the black Axis, an accomplished FEI dressage stallion, but with strong foundations in show jumping. At his approval, Axis was named “Best Jumper” of his entire crop in Neumünster, which comes as little surprise given the fact that he is a son of the top sire EH Sixtus, a half brother to Dar-ren’s long-term partner, Olympic competitor Windfall. Axis is now known for the producing of outstanding jumpers such as Hirtentanz.

On the dam side, the brown/black, 16.3-hand stallion carries the same exceptional jumper blood that Darren has had earlier success with, such as Dynamik II and Isidor: EH Itaxerxes. The dam side further carries Marlon by Pasteur xx (full brother to the century sire Mahagoni) and the top jumper sire Virgil. The dam line is of O18B1 Blitzlicht (Baumgart-Verden).

In 2013 Ballzauber was high score earner at 2nd and 3rd level, often the high score of the show, at such shows as White Fences, Wellington, FL; KDA Lexington, KY; Dressage Derby of Ohio, Painesville, OH; Maplewood Warmblood’s Dressage in Middletown, NY; WNYDA at Houghton College; and Regional Championships at Saugerties. He was also Breed Champion Stallion at three consecutive shows.

2013:

• Res Champion 2nd level USDF All-Breeds - 70.352%

• Res Champion 3rd level USDF All-Breeds - 67.242%

• Champion USDF Four-Year-Old & Older Stallions - 77.500%

• Winner of two Training level events

• 5th at Preliminary in Lexington, KY

Ehrentanz is a young Trakehner stallion who shows incred-ible aptitude for Jumping - tremendous scope, athletic ability, and technique. He is the first Hirtentanz son to be approved in North America. The inspection committee commented, “A ma-jestic stallion with very good modern sport horse type displaying outstanding athleticism and temperament.” Ehrentanz received 9s on his type, frame, and general impression, which earned him a Premium approved stallion status.

Ehrentanz’s sire, Hirtentanz, is a sensation in the Jumping scene in Germany. Hirtentanz is currently competing at the “S” level in jumpers. He already has some approved sons in Europe and also Model mare daughters in the US. Ehrentanz’s damsire, Budden-brock, hardly needs an introduction. The sire of several approved stallions and even more Premium/Elite daughters, his progeny have more than proven themselves in sport.

We are anticipating a fabulous first foal crop in 2014.

Feiner Prinz, newly imported, boasts Kirov Stud bloodlines through his sire Perechlest (out of Pepela by Hockey 41). Sire had a successful start as a jumper, fol-lowed by an outstanding dressage career with 71 wins and placings in international tests at the Intermé-diare, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix Spécial—with eight Grand Prix wins in a row, Perechlest boasts a record like few others. His grandsire Hockey has been termed “stallion of the century”—a sire of over 40 internationally successful competition horses.

The dam side of Feiner Prinz’s pedigree is also interesting from a breeder’s standpoint. His dam’s sire is the stallion Cornus, a suc-cessful showjumper sired by the elite stallion Ravel (successful in showing to S level dressage and L jumping). The family is closely linked to performance showjumping lines.

A finalist at the foal championships at Tarmstedt, Feiner Prinz scored: 9/8/8/8.5/8.5/8.5/8.5.

Feiner Prinz has “classic” Trakehner type, which can be best described as “aristocratic.” He has a large, kind eye, and noble expression. His movements are elastic, gaits ground-covering. During his approvals he demonstrated not only good jumping technique, but was thoughtful and clever when going through the chute. Under saddle he has been a willing learner, and dem-onstrates a solid work ethic. He has always been described as a “gentleman” and very easy to handle.

Expectations are high for this young man and his offspring!

Halimey Go is a Premium Stallion and Champion of his Ger-man 70-day performance test. He was winner of the “Best Anglo Trakehner” prize at Neumeunster in 2007, receiving top scores for both jumping and dressage. He qualified for the Bundeschampionat (German championship) for eventing as a five- and six-year-old and placed tenth in a field of over sixty in his only appearance.

He has continued his success since being imported to the United States with multiple wins and placings in 2013 at the Preliminary level, and by capping the year with a win at his first Intermediate. His riders have consistently praised him in his balance and athleticism, but have said his rideability is what makes him truly exceptional.

His eventing success should come as no surprise as his sire, Askar aa, completed the last Olympic long format three day event. He appears to have passed his stamina and hardiness on to Halimey, who we expect to make his own mark at the very top of the sport.

As a sire Halimey has already proven himself to be a valuable producer. Despite limited numbers of foals from his first crops he has had multiple progeny performance tested over 70 percent in Germany. His offspring have consistently shown his own qualities, particularly regarding balance and temperament.

Whether breeding for eventing, looking to add refinement, or wanting to add movement and temperament to a Thoroughbred mare, Halimey is an excellent choice.

Recent Performances:

• Pine Top Thanksgiving Horse Trials – Intermediate – 1st D=29.2, 1st, added 4.4 time xc, final 33.6 • Rocking Horse Spring Horse Trials – Preliminary - 1st, D = 26.5 Final 26.5 • Rocking Horse Winter Horse Trials II – Preliminary – 1st, D = 24.6, 1st, added 2.4 time xc, final 27.00

Horalas*Pg*E* began his show career in Lithuania under Rimas Rimkas, becoming the National Show Jumping Champion of Lithuania twice, and winning the Vilnius Grand Prix, a World Cup Qualifier, in 2001. He was already a well-regarded breeding stallion with five approved sons, including Vikis (Champion of his Approval), and Fiatas who is currently competing at the “S” show jumping level in Europe.

Horalas was imported to the United States by Diane and Jim Rushing, and competed heavily under the Show Jumping Hall of Fame rider Hap Hansen in Canada and the Western USA. In a few short years, with multiple Grand Prix wins and placings, including at Spruce Meadows CN Classics, he amassed earnings of over $100,000.

He was retired nearly at the peak of his show jumping career without health problems or injury after the death of his owner Diane. Because of his rigorous competition schedule his off-spring are just now beginning performance careers.

Horalas joins a very select group of stallions not born in Ger-many but approved by the Trakehner Verband on the basis of performance career.

Horalas passes on his athleticism, work ethic, and jumping talent to his offspring.

For Keeps, yearling colt Inamorato/Hohenstein.Photo: Alicia Frese Photography

Inamorato is the son of Elite stallion/Stallion of the Year Buddenbrock (Sixtus/Diamant), sire of E.H. Connery, and the illustrious dam line of Isabella. Pr St Indira XV (Fontainbleau/Mahagoni) achieved Champion Mare at the Mare Show in Landgestüt Graditz 2000 (occurs once every 7 years with Trakehners from Europe, Poland and Russia competing); her Mare Family was also declared Champion. The dressage phenomenon Imperio is from this same “I” line and is also a grandson of Buddenbrock. Inamorato’s sires—CCI*** Fontainbleau, Habicht, Rockefeller, Mahagoni, Consul—are truly dressage royalty with a large dose of jumping ability thrown in.

Foaled St. Patrick’s day, 2001, Inamorato achieved his ATA approval in 2003 with the ATA comments, “willing jumper/good technique/relaxed/confident. Excellent temperament, obvious jumping potential. Mares needing type and jumping talent should cross well with this modern young stallion.” Combining highly athletic lines, beauty, harmony, willingness and Trakehner type, Inamorato has many accomplishments. Breed, hunter/jumper, dressage and eventing competitions have produced ribbons and cash with: NEDA, USDF, USHJA, USEA, USEF, ATA; including Champion, Reserve Champion, and Horse of the Year awards.

Inamorato competes in eventing with Andrew Palmer. In March, 2011, at Red Hills International Horse Trials (where David O’Conner stated, “All horses with Olympic aspirations have competed at Red Hills”), Inamorato remained 1st with his dressage score of 27.4 over all Preliminary divisions and a double clear, powerful cross country, finishing the stadium in 4th place with a victory gallop and a nice check. Preliminary events followed in 2012: Inamorato and Andrew bravely completed (in 96-degree heat) his first CCI*. The judges comments—“Awesome, lovely”—never disappoint. His 2013 competitions consisted of CCI* and Dressage shows. Inamorato jumps 5'6" with style and ease. His foals impress: elegant partners, eager, true to conformation and type, with superior strength in all gaits.

In 2011, only 2 ATA approved stallions bred more mares than Prelude, making him the 3rd most popular Trakehner stallion in NA! Prelude tied for 1st place in the ATA Jumper Stakes at 5’3”. He also wins in Hunters and Dressage. Prelude’s sire Mozart was the Reserve Champion of the 1975 Neumunster approvals and 2nd at his 100 Day Test. He had a very successful FEI dressage career. Mozart was approved by the KWPN as an improvement sire and was a 3 time Dutch Champion. He sired 3 approved ATA sons.

Prelude’s damsire Condus was the number one sire of money win-ning dressage horses in the Trakehner breed in Germany in 1980 and 1981. He sired 4 approved sons and produced Grand Prix Dressage Champions including Leonidas and Chrysos, a Pan Am Silver Medalist. Condus is sired by Ramzes, the “Century Sire”. Ramzes’ sons Remus and Mariano won Olympic medals in Dres-sage and his son Robin won Olympic Gold in Show Jumping. The Olympic gold medal winner Rembrandt, ridden by Nicole Uphoff in Dressage, is a descendant of Ramzes. One of the most famous jumpers of all time, Ramiro, calls Ramzes his grandsire. Prelude’s second damsire is Coktail, sire of Grand Prix Dressage stallion Martini. Coktail is sired by Habicht, who also sired WIindfall II, Olympic bronze medal winner in Eventing in 2004.

Prelude’s first US son, Scorpio, won the ATA HOY HB 3 years in a row and is now showing in Jumpers. Romance Andante is Eventing and being trained and shown by his amateur owner. Perfektion and his young amateur owner scored 80% showing in hand and are now successful at First Level Dressage. Ravvivando is OSB approved and shows Hunter/Jumpers with her young owner. Symfony won ATA HOY HB and is now competing in Hunter Derbies. Uma won ATA HOY HB and is in the OSB. Anthymn scored “Premium” as a foal. Pashmina was exported and lives with her owner at Altmark-hof in Germany. More offspring for sale.

Rust

icus

Approved in 2013 at Neumeunster, Germany, Rusticus was winner of the “Best Anglo Trakehner” prize and received top marks in jumping. He is correct, balanced, sensible, and extremely athletic.

Rusticus is by the fantastic Thoroughbred sire Favoritas xx, who jumped at the 1.60m level for the Norwegian team. Upon his retirement he stood in Germany until his passing in 2013 and was approved for nearly all major stud books. He carries the great Eastern European Thoroughbred sport horse lines of Raufbold and Fauktotem, leading one to believe Favoritas xx, far from being an “outlier,” has generations of jumping lines to back up his own success and pass on to his heirs.

Rusticus’s dam, Rispe IV, has her own reputation for producing champions. Two accomplished show jumpers in Rubens and Rothmann, and the Grand Prix dressage horse Rudy’s Memory TSF show her versatility. This comes as no surprise, as her sire Bartholdy, and indeed his own, Mahogani were both known for producing both dressage and jumping ability.

Of additional interest to breeders is Rispe’s considerable Thoroughbred lineage, in particular Pasteur xx, who shows up on both sides of her pedigree.

We expect Rusticus will have his own international success in Eventing, and will pass on his athleticism, refinement, and jumping ability to his offspring.

Sea Accounts has proven himself a superior TB sport horse both in eventing and dressage. He has an impressive list of credits: • Youngest TB ever licensed by a European registry in NA (RPSI in 2003) • First to earn his license based on his 100-day score (90.19 in 2004) • First TB approved by the ATA since 1997 in 2011 • Approved by GOV in 2011 • Won his first outing in eventing at Open Novice in 2005 • Multiple wins and Top 4 finishes at Training • 4th Level scores to 63% • Four Top 5 finishes at Preliminary inc. two wins in 2012 • Two Top 5 finishes at Intermediate including a 2nd in 2013

He is a rare Thoroughbred showing upper level talent in both dres-sage and jumping. He typically scores a 7 or 8 for gaits. Since his return to eventing with Mike Huber, they have finished dressage in the Top 5 and have not had any cross country jumping penalties.

What truly sets him apart is his temperament and mind. He loves to work and is a pleasure to be around. Many of the outside mares bred to him are owned by amateurs breeding for themselves.

His offspring are following in his footsteps of success in the ring. • Sea Siren: Preliminary and CCI* qualified. • Sydeways: multiple Champions and Reserves in the hunters, Derbies and jumpers to 3'9" • Syberia, a Thoroughbred: multiple Champions and Reserves up to 3' including the Children’s. • Seahawk’s Hill, a Paint: multiple Top 3 finishes at Novice at 4 & 5 • Somerset Mist, an Irish Sport Horse: won the Midwest Championship for 3-year-old Future Event Horse • Seaze the Morning: multiple wins at Novice • Numerous others began their careers in 2013

Sea Accounts offers classic thoroughbred conformation and royal bloodlines with 17 chefs de race and 16 reines de course in his first 5 generations. He crosses well with a variety of mares. He consistently produces great minds, adds length of leg, beautiful heads, neck/shoulder and a deep hip.

Bred by Gestuet Haemelschenburg in Emmerthal, Germany and owned by Gustav Schickedanz, the dark bay, by Summer-time and out of Schwalbenspiel, was the champion of the 2006 Trakehner Stallion Licensing in Neumunster, Germany where he was complimented on his gallop and free jumping. Songline II qualified for the eventing National Young Horse Champion-ships in both 2009 and 2010, winning the 2010 national cham-pion Six Year Old Eventing Horse (Bundeschampion). Andreas Dibowski’s student, Franziska Haunhorst won the CIC* at Bad Harzburg in 2010 on Songline II, and was 2nd at the CCI* at Kreuzau. The pair competed at the 2010 FEI World Young Event Horse championships at Le Lion d’Anger in France and finished 23rd of 70 starters. In 2012 Dibowski took back the ride on Songline II and won or placed highly at four FEI horse trials, including a 3rd at the CIC*** at Arville.

Songline II already has one approved son, Eiskoenig, who was sold to Belgium, and numerous good daughters, who are now winning in competitions. This stallion is a true testament to Trakehner horses because his talents are balanced. He has and produces conformational correctness, which is an essential building block in breeding sporthorses. He has phenomenal quality of gaits, in the opinions of many Koerung inspectors and competition judges.

Tanzeln *Pb*, a 2000 bay 16.3h premium stallion by Enrico Caruso *Ps*E*, is an athletic, talented and beautiful stallion with an impressive work ethic and an incredibly good temperament.

He is currently competing in Fourth level and Prix St. Georges. His offspring are competing successfully in-hand, in dressage (his oldest daughter is now 8 and is training 3rd level and a 5 year old gelding just took high-point for the ATA at 1st level), in eventing (a 6-year-old gelding is moving to Training after hav-ing successfully competed at Novice) and a few are headed to the jumper ring. Between all of them, there are many championships and ribbons.

He consistently passes on type, athleticism and trainability and his offspring nearly always inherit his “9” walk and canter.

Due to his training and showing schedule, we offer frozen se-men with a live foal guarantee (his frozen conception statistics are excellent).

*Pb*

A Champion in Eventing and Jumping, Tzigane *Pb* is the 6th US-bred and ATA-approved Trakehner stallion subsequently approved by the Trakehner Verband based on exceptional performance in sport. This illustrious list includes Abdullah, Amiego, Horalas, Leonidas, Special Memories, and Tzigane.

In 2010 he was the first US-bred Trakehner invited to perform in the Neumünster (annual Trakehner Verband keuring) Gala Show. A photo of his now-famous fire jump during that appear-ance made the cover of the 2011 Gala program.

As a sire he has proven himself exceptional. Out of twenty-two foals now inspected in Finland, Germany and the US, fourteen (63.6%) have graded Premium, including three inspection site Champions and the 2012 highest-scoring US Trakehner foal (who won a tie based on her score for movement). In 2012 his first son was approved by the ATA, and in 2013 a German son was an alternate selection for Neumünster.

His offspring under saddle confirm Tzigane *Pb* as an out-standing sire of sporthorses. With ten offspring (ten and under) competing by 2013, eight (80%) are winning in their respective disciplines:

- Two FEI level (CCI1* and CIC2*) Eventers - Two winning in Hunters - Two in Jumpers (incl. a 1.25M and 6-year-old Young Jumper CH) - One undefeated (6-year-old) Preliminary level Eventer - One Novice (4-year-old) Eventer scoring 8.5 and 9s on gaits

In 2014 Tzigane *Pb* is once again available to a limited number of US and Canadian mares via exceptionally fertile frozen semen (100% conception, including maiden and hard-to-settle mares). Contact us about breeding your next champion.

Sky

Virginian Sky has won at 4th level dressage (70%) and successfully competed through preliminary level eventing, indicating great versatility as a sport horse. His first foals show incredible athleticism, wonderful work ethic, and seem to enjoy human companionship quite a bit.

Sky comes from impeccable European performance bloodlines.

Sire Best Before Midnight was first developed as a show jumper, but then made a career switch to dressage and today has a performance record at FEI level (up to Inter I). He is a horse with versatile talent, something that he reproduces very consistently in his offspring.

Sir Shostakovich xx founded a highly performance-proven stallion line. Among his many offspring are the Olympic eventer Boettcher’s Longchamps, the Rolex Kentucky placed Lester Piggott, and the premium stallion Chateauneuf (S level show jumping, M level dressage), the approved international show jumper Donaumonarch, the approved S level show jumper Couleur-Fuerst, as well as a several second and third generation show jumpers at international 1.50 & 1.60m levels.

BBM’s damsire Bajar ShA produced offspring competing internationally in show jumping (for example Bachus/Holst.) and eventing (for example White Girl TSF) up to Olympic level. It is especially in combination with BBM’s direct mare line (Bergfriede) that the Bajar ShA blood was most successful, notably in the international eventer Boo Bandit.

Dam Virginian Girl xx raced for 7 seasons and was a champion steeplechaser. The tail family of Virginian Sky also stands for the outstanding major sires Norther Dancer xx, Secretariat xx, Charlottown xx, Ballymoss xx, Hurry On xx, Precipitation xx, and Sir Gaylord xx. The family also produced the FEI show jumpers Belle Doudou, Lolipop, Tina-paei xx, and Caratella as well as Hunter/Jumper Un Beerenauslese. This is the same tail family as ATA approved stallion Sea Lion xx (FEI eventer).

Zauberruf is a wonderful ride with the manners of a gentleman and elegant movements, thus living up to his lineage. His first class pedigree combines the high-profile riding horse sires Hibiskus, Latimer, Caprimond, and Friedenst. His superior dam complet-ed a very good performance test and is closely related to German Young Horse Reserve Champion Zauberf.

Zauberruf showed his exceptional talent in Eventing through the Intermediate level, winning several Year end titles. As a dressage horse he scored consistently in the 70%. “Z” also show jumped successfully up to 1.35 meters.

Zauberruf has had a 100% conception rate with his frozen semen. Having 200 straws of high quality frozen semen, the dif-ficult decision was made to geld him. He then was a top finisher in his first hunter show at the Winter Equestrian Festival. He is now the proud mount of a talented Junior rider who has already been on a winning streak.

The ability to track and record each horse from birth, through-out the competition career of the horse, can create a more fair competition experience. We all know of horses that come from Europe with significant show experience and then become “Pre-Green Hunters” showing against inexperienced babies that are just beginning their show careers; it also happens with horses born in the USA that have name changes that allow them to start over as Pre-Green or 1st Year Green.

A tracking system would also allow us to locate horses through-out their lives and reduce lost horses that sometimes become “unwanted” horses, when their breeders and former owners would prefer to provide their final homes. As a breeder/stal-lion owner I would like to be able to locate and track all of the offspring from my stallions.

It is understandable and useful for each registry to maintain their own identities and breeding goals, but it is also necessary to unite under an American flag. The plethora of American orga-nizations—USEF, USDF, USEA—and their zones, regions and subsidiaries each serve their members and focus on their disci-

plines and needs of their memberships. Combined and working together we can produce, promote and showcase the exceptional horses of the USA and keep the dollars in this country and field winning international teams mounted on American-bred horses. It is my personal belief that the more hands-on system of foal development produces the right horse for the American buyer and rider. To date American auctions have not been as successful as European auctions. I believe Americans prefer the more per-sonal experience of buying in a private sale and I see advantages for both the horses and people involved in the private sales even though we have certainly seen abuses of that system. There are also the advantages of knowing the individual needs of the buyer and the detailed information and understanding of each horse sold in private sales. In conclusion: For over 30 years I have been breeding horses that I believe are ideally suited to the American riders. The great blood runs true and we consistently produce champions and horses that enhance the lives the their owners. The ability to know every detail of the horse’s heritage and development makes it easier to understand and work harmoniously with the horse and achieve the goals of the riders, owners and trainers.

Dr. Rachel KaneEntropy FarmIllinois

Bio:Dr. Rachel Kane has been a lifelong horse enthusiast. She grew up on Long Island riding hunters and jumpers. Dr. Kane received her B.S. in Animal Science from Purdue University and went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from the University of Illinois in 1992. In 1993 she started her own equine practice where she sees a variety of patients with an

emphasis on sport horse lameness and reproduction. In 2003 she, along with her husband David Voorhees, opened Entropy Farm in Woodstock, Illinois. Currently they stand the stal-lion Roc USA and foal out twenty to thirty mares per year. Personally they breed three to six foals per year for the sport horse market.

Horses bred by her at Entropy Farm have won National, Zone and Circuit championships at the country’s top horse shows. Dr. Kane also serves on the board of directors of the Illinois Equine Practitioners Association and the Illinois Horse Council.

I think two of the biggest challenges are the same for both stal-lion and mare owners, which is the need for a reliable data base to track progeny performance across the different disciplines, and the need for a one horse=one number system to be in place.

A third challenge for stallion owners is the relatively small pool of mares in the USA available for breeding (as compared to Europe) and the cost of marketing and showing to promote your stallion to that relatively small pool of mares.

A large problem for mare owners is getting their young stock seen. The cost of showing young stock is high, and the United States is such a large expanse as compared to Europe that it can be difficult to see many prospects at one time.

We are breeding very good horses here in the States. It both-ers me that most American riders have no idea what it takes to breed and raise a quality horse. A unifying body is needed to help with educating the American rider what is available for them here, and for the breeders to have a voice in the national conversation of horse sport.

We are starting to see some attention being paid to young horses on the national level. I think had USSHBA been around ten years ago we would be much farther down that road. The USEF putting together the young horse championship program is a beginning.

The main thing we compete with Europe for is the horse buying dollar. The Europeans are currently at an advantage in several ways. Firstly, there are many more sport horses bred in Europe, as riding is a much more mainstream activity there. It is a more mainstream activity because riding, keeping, and showing horses in most of Europe can be done cheaper than it can be done here in the States. There are many more one-day shows in Europe where you can show out of your trailer just as we used to do here

when there truly were AHSA B- and C-rated shows. You go for a day, show and go home. If need be you drive back the next day. Here the majority of the shows are 3–5 days long (even a lot of the more local shows), which involves leaving horses away from home, missing work, getting a hotel and so on—all of which equates to dollars. Secondly, we do not have a fair playing field when it comes to the experience of the horse being imported. Many of the horses being imported conveniently get their passports lost. These

horses that are competing at a higher level in Europe come to the States and compete at a lower level against the true “green” horse. This happens in the hunters, jumpers and dressage rings. This is where the one horse=one number rule comes in. The Eu-ropeans do a fine job giving Passports and one number to each horse, but we here in the States have to insist on that number being kept with the horse when it comes here. The practice of changing the horse’s identity occurs on the national level as well, which also needs to be addressed.

The Europeans have a very good infrastructure for young horse training. In Europe being a young horse trainer is an end in of itself, with important championships and accolades given to those trainers that specifically work with the young horses. In the States the majority of the young riders aspire to be Grand Prix riders, yet few of them have ridden or trained a young horse from the ground up. If given a chance to be educated in how to start and train young horses, I think many would find this a gratifying career path in the horse industry.

The European auction system seems to be well received in Europe. In the States the term auction still has a bit of a tawdry connotation attached to it at times. The American Thoroughbred auctions don’t have that stigma but I think it is present in the riding horse world. I do think that it is possible with some pub-lic education and good ethical auction management to overcome this, but it will take time.

I am not sure if in the European riding culture the average rider is aware of pedigrees and breeding. It would be nice to be able to educate the US-based riders as to where to go to find this infor-mation as it pertains to their interest and/or purchase of a horse.

having access to enough quality, well-educated young

horse starters and trainers.”

With the implementation of the young horse championships the US is starting to try to identify quality young horses here. It would be great to have an American version of the Bundes-championat, but one that included hunters as well.

As far as drawbacks to the European system, I think there are some very large players that may have a bit more sway than perhaps they should. I don’t think we have any breeders here of that size, yet. It has been brought up in many conversations, es-pecially as it pertains to dressage horses, that too much emphasis is being placed on young horse classes and many of those young horse winners with extravagant gaits may not be able to go on and perform the actual collected work needed of the Grand Prix horse. This can be fixed by what the judges award as the best horse. Twenty years ago the average western pleasure horse was supposed to go with its nose to the ground in a broken four beat canter; as soon as those horses weren’t rewarded for it by the judges the training and breeding changed.

I see the USSHBA being a unifying umbrella for the all the registries and sport horse associations to bring forward the issues pertaining to the production of sport horses here in America. I envision the USSHBA being analogous to the USHJA, USEA and USDF under the USEF.

I think a single US registry is really irrelevant to the goals of the USSHBA. We are starting to see a blurring/melding of a lot of the registries, for example Hanoverian and Westfalen. All are breeding for a certain type of horse vs. a breed of horse. There was a time when the registries wouldn’t dare accept a horse outside of its registry but that is clearly not the case today. The breeders are all looking for superior genetics and if they need to go outside of their registry they do so. This why they are regis-tries and not breeds per se. I think it will be quite a long time, if ever, for a single registry to come to being. Many people have many dollars and vested interests in their particular registry to let that change.

However, registries can benefit from working together while maintaining separate identities. As in any other endeavor, there is strength in numbers. Towards that end it would behoove us on a national scale to work together. To accomplish this, there is no need for the registries to forfeit their individual identities. The USSHBA will be the voice for all the American sport horse breeders in the national dialogue of the sport horse industry. There are fabulous breeders, both big and small, here in the States and it’s time we come together to help one another. F

Timothy KammererSparling Rock HolsteinersMaryland

Bio:Tim Kammerer was born and raised in Rumson, New Jersey. He graduated from University of Vermont with a BS in Biochemis-try and a minor in Microbiology/Molecular Genetics in 1996.

He started riding horses in 1992 while in college. Tim learned to start horses while out in Colorado, and working with young horses is now a passion. He starting breeding with Holsteiners in 2004, and purchased his first mare in 2005. He helped train that mare, Vienna, by Cicera’s Icewater, to earn the “Adequan Holsteiner Filly of the Year” award and realized the necessity of targeted breeding programs here in the US.

Tim went to Germany for the first time in 2007 to learn the breeding practices perfected in Holstein, and has returned almost every year since to continue to advance his knowledge of this breed.

Tim opened Sparling Rock Holsteiners in 2010 and was elected to the American Holsteiner Horse Association (AHHA) Board of Directors in 2012.

As a strong advocate to building a successful American sport horse breeding community, and an outspoken proponent of “One Horse=One Number,” Tim joined this effort to build the USSHBA along with the other accomplished and experienced members.

The biggest needs facing stallion owners are:1. Greater numbers of progeny competing at the upper levels of sport in the Olympic disciplines.

“The most important thing that the USSHBA will

accomplish is to give a voice to the breeders in the

national discussion of horse sport.”


2. A database that can accurately record pedigrees, breeders, and sport records.3. An adequate/cost effective training environment to help bring domestic horses up through the levels.4. Higher numbers of offspring to best understand which mares make the best matches.The biggest needs facing stallion owners are:1. One Horse=One Number in the database mentioned above.2. An adequate/cost effective training environment to help bring domestic horses up through the levels.3. Higher degree of knowledge of proven breeding practices.4. Marketing scheme that minimizes the geographical chal-lenges faced in the US.

My primary reason for wanting to support the creation of this organization is the One Horse=One number challenge. As a breeder I am observing a patchwork approach to this problem that doesn’t serve the greater sport horse breeder market in the US. The breeders need a single voice that can elevate this priority to our primary governing body the USEF which is mostly fo-cused on the riders. I believe we as breeders can coalesce around this initiative which can develop the foundation with which we can expand further initiatives.

If the USSHBA had been around ten years ago, I believe we would have this database which only allows each horse to have one number. I also believe we would have a universal verification system (for example microchipping, optical scans, barcoded ID cards), that would lend credibility to the database, and force the show industry to conform. I would also like to believe that this database could then be used to elevate domestic breeders suc-cesses with integrity. This could then lead to a pipeline between the buyers and the breeders.

We compete with the Europeans for the same buyers, ideally those buyers with more capacity to purchase upper-level pros-pects. We can produce the same quality prospect for less money, but the training and show experience is too expensive here. So in Europe it’s sometimes easier to find more finished horses at less expensive prices, and located in a more concentrated area. Their system also removes any questions in regards to records attached to horses. All horses are microchipped, and must be presented with their passports for showing.

We simply aren’t there yet. The most important goal of the USSHAB is to create One horse=One number database.

I believe that the registries can play a supportive role in isolating more specific interests of their members and centralizing those interests in one impartial organization that will have a voice with the governing bodies.

We feel that breeders of all types have needs that are unique to sport horse breeders. We will be driven by our membership, and each breeder will have a voice. I feel cooperation will be facili-tated by our impartiality and our common, but unmet needs. F

“I envision the USSHBA becoming a conduit through

which the breeders’ interests can be funneled to the

USEF and other discipline organizations.”

“Very few countries in the world have a national

registry. This is important to stress. USSHBA is not

a registry, and has no interest in becoming one. Re-

maining impartial either to sport horse breed or sport

horse discipline will enable it to become a representa-

tive body for all breeders. USSHBA will support sport

horse breeders in the US while allowing each registry

to address the specific needs of its members.”

Mary O’ConnorInner Bay, LLCNew York and Virginia

Bio:I was nine or ten when a neighborhood friend was given a pony by a cousin who was moving overseas. I learned to ride on that

pony, and have been fortunate to be involved in the sport ever since, as a rider, trainer, horse show official, management team member, parent, and finally as a breeder.

I’ve always been very interested in breeding though

I haven’t been at it myself for long. While competing at the Washington International Horse Show in 1981, I saw the stal-lion Galoubet A, who had come over with the French team on the North American indoor circuit. I thought he was the most magnificent animal and the most athletic jumper I had ever seen and I followed the news of his syndication and move to the

USA to stand at stud, and daydreamed about having a mare for him. The other stallion I was aware of back then was Abdullah, when the Los Angeles Olympics was still in his future.

During and after college I worked for the Hampton Classic Horse show, eventually becoming an assistant to the coordina-tors, and managing the Press Relations until 1988, when we staged the final team selection trials for the Seoul Olympics. Earlier that year, I had decided to trade my desk for a pitchfork, and I went to work for Conrad and Joe Fargis at Sandron during the Florida circuit, where I shared the barn aisle with Abdullah’s owners, Sue and Terry Williams. Sue told me the entire story of how they came to own him, how one thing led to another, and how he eventually wound up being an Olympic star and a world class breeding stallion.

I met my husband, Neil O’Connor, from Millstreet, Ireland, when he worked for Noel C. Duggan, who bred Mill Pearl, the mare Joe Fargis rode in the Seoul Olympics. On trips to Ireland after we were married, I couldn’t wait to visit “Noel C’s” Green Glens Equestrian Center to see the young horses in the fields, and I would pay attention to which ones were which, including Mill-street Ruby, the full sister of Mill Pearl. I think we always had in mind that we would eventually begin to breed our own horses.

That point finally arrived when we purchased an unregistered but Jockey Club-eligible Thoroughbred mare, Camille, and bred her to the Hanoverian Grand Prix stallion, As Di Villagana.

he � rst formulation of Equine Leg Magic (ELM) was in 2004 for a yearling who didn’t like to trot, began popping in his rear fetlocks, and progressed

to being over at the knees and then walking on his front fetlocks. He was fed ELM for 8 weeks during which the joint popping disappeared, the front tendons became more elastic and the over at the knee symptoms and walking on the front fetlocks were gone. ELM was then made available to horses with other conditions on a trial basis.

To date 1500+ horses have been fed ELM, from minis to dra� horses and from 10 days to 37 years of age. Response time has been a week to 6 months depending on the severity of the condition and the length of time it has existed, with results at 98%. ELM, which is 100% bio-available, works at the cellular level in the active transport of nutrients in and out of cells. Hence the wide range of conditions in which improvement is seen. Even horses with no known problems have improved in � exibility, hoof quality, disposition, coat and mane and tail condition. ELM is currently sold in 46 states and 4 countries on a direct-order-only basis, as each horse fed ELM becomes a part of the database to evaluate its e� ectiveness.

TFor:


The entire process was a learning curve from beginning to end, with happily positive results: full Jockey Club registry and a Best Outside Mare rosette at her Hanoverian inspection for Camille. Through it all, I kept thinking “there has to be a better, more systematic way to learn about this!” Our first homebred, As Di Ani Z, is now almost six, and has begun her performance career with our daughter in the jumper ring after having a foal of her own by Jaguar Mail. Camille’s second foal was a full brother to As Di Ani Z. As Di Valentia, sold as a foal to Diane Halpin, was recently purchased by hunter/jumper trainer Bill Schaub as a hunter prospect.

It takes a long time to raise a stallion prospect to maturity, properly develop it in the performance arena, and then pro-duce offspring that also must in turn also reach maturity before the value of a stallion to a particular breeder’s program or to the sport can be determined. After going through all the steps necessary to raise a stallion, there is the continuous nature of stallion management and marketing. In the end, there is no assurance that standing even a “successful” stallion will ever be financially profitable or a break-even proposition for an owner. Relatively few owners are capable of staying the course, and even fewer decide that it’s rational to do so.

Whether to breed a “favorite” mare can be a sentimental deci-sion, but it’s important to be aware that there are risks involved in every phase of the endeavor and a wide array of resources are necessary to be successful.

Again, there are so many stallions to choose from. Market-ing plays a big role in the choices that mare owners make, with intensely marketed stallions becoming more popular than might otherwise be warranted. It can be difficult for mare owners to assess their choices objectively or find unbiased, educated advice about how to find the particular stallions that will best compli-ment their mares.

Ultimately, mare owners need to have well-developed advance planning in place that will allow them to raise foals that, sooner than imagined, become healthy young horses in need of a job. They also need to realize that the expenses they incur in rais-ing such an animal have little to do with its value to prospective buyers, whose only concern will be whether the horse will be able to succeed as a performer.

It seemed so obvious to me that the USSHBA should already exist that I couldn’t understand why it didn’t! That’s really all the motivation I needed to find out why that was so, and get to work on creating it.

There are so many situations that I hope the USSHBA will be able to address once it finds its feet. Everyone who learns of the USSHBA instantly asks whether we plan to do this, or that, or something else, or “what about xyz?” And I keep repeating, please join us and sign up to volunteer, because there is so much work to do! I think it’s a very exciting time right now and we are off to a great start.

The most important initial goal for the USSHBA is to build a large enough membership base to be a viable and credible orga-nization. Again, there is no shortage of work to do, but in order to survive and thrive, the USSHBA needs dues-paying members to step forward as volunteers to form the committees who will begin to prioritize and perform the tasks that lie ahead.

The USSHBA will seek to work with registry officials to identify common concerns within the US breeding community and dis-ciplines that are best addressed through a unified approach. The USSHBA’s affiliated group membership category will allow the registries to offer their support to the USHHBA and be active participants in our efforts as we move forward.

Through good relations with the registries and other organiza-tions, the USSHBA will work to provide to breeders with a con-venient source of information that will help identify and explain various options and programs available to breeders.

A single national registry is unlikely as each registry has a distinct history, with time and effort having been invested in keeping them separate. But it has occurred to me that it might be feasible to explore with the registries and discipline groups the idea of identifying areas in which administrative cooperation would ben-efit breeders. To give one example, as the parent of a high school senior, I appreciate the convenience of the “common app” where one application form is used to apply and pay fees to the admis-sions offices of many separate colleges even when one choice must eventually be made. It seems that breeders have better things to do than fill out repetitive paperwork, and administrators with limited resources might appreciate the streamlined processing of tasks they have in common with other groups. This approach could presumably extend to other areas wherever cooperation is deemed mutually beneficial, but we are a long way from a natural evolution toward the concept of a unified registry, and it certainly shouldn’t be dictated, because it’s part of our American nature to be independent and go our separate ways whenever we can.

“Where possible, the USSHBA will move to become

an affiliated group member of other associations,

and will seek opportunities to work in collabora-

tion with the Federation and the sporting discipline

groups. We will represent the interests of US breed-

ers and will seek support for programs aimed at

strengthening US breeders.”“One of the biggest challenges facing stallion owners in

the US today is that there so many stallions! Competi-

tion is intense, with mare owners able to choose among

stallions of the present day and of the past, nearly

anywhere in the world.”
