Wonderful Stallion Choices in North America Welcome to the 2015 edition of Warmblood Stallions of North America! After twenty+ years in publishing, I still love that special moment when the first printed copies come in the mail. No matter how hard I’ve worked on the minute details of its construction, the finished product always feels like an amazing leap, kind of like the birth of a foal. Suddenly, there it is! Everything I’ve worked hard for and waited for is suddenly in my hands.

I hope you feel some of that excitement to have this issue in your hands, filled with potential sires for your breeding plans!

This edition, even more than most, feels like the culmination of a year’s growth. We worked hard throughout 2014 to update and improve our website, www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com, and invite you to read about the new features in this issue (pages 30 and 43) and then browse the “new” site.

Also new are the results of a Breeding Industry Survey we undertook in July/August 2014. We started the survey for our own information—to learn how to improve and address breeder needs— but the results were so interesting we shared a lot of details on our website. Read about the survey on page 29.

As always, every major warmblood breed is represented here, including the Swedish Warmblood Association of North America and the American Trakehner Association, who are now in their third year of partnership with Warmblood Stallions of North America, providing their stallion owners with the benefits of our special registry rates and huge distribution to breeders. We welcome several stallions and breeding farms new to Warmblood Stallions of North America: seasoned stallions, young stallions, and one or two who are new to North America.

Happy Stallion Shopping!

Warmblood Breeding News

Stallion Performance Testing in Germany: New System Planned for 2016 The German Riding Association (FN) has recently issued press releases describing significant changes to stallion testing in Germany. The changes, originally to take effect in 2015, have been mostly pushed to 2016, to give the different breed organizations “adequate time to inform their members and adjust their regulations. Furthermore, we will have a good opportunity in the following year to get experience with some aspects of the new system, such as the pilot three-day sport test” according to Theodor Leuchten (Ratingen), chairman of the FN breeding division.

According to one release, which explains why the implementation has been delayed:

Every year the breeders eagerly await the results of the testing (körungen) and the new generation of sires. But a correct and realistic evaluation of the potential sires under saddle is not always easy for the breeders to make because of the young age of the stallions. It is most successful in the context of the stallion performance tests. Here it is possible to observe the stallions repeatedly over a long period in comparison with other stallions. Both the training-inspections and the final evaluations provide the breeders with meaningful information. The new, discipline-specific sport tests for stallions that form part of the new stallion performance testing concept offer especially interesting information.

The main outline has been determined with just a few details left to be decided; the reform of the stallion performance testing is definitely a reality. The reform will be implemented 1 January 2016.

The breeding sub-committee of the FN adopted the new stallion performance testing guidelines at its December 2014 meeting.

Shortened station-testing and discipline-specific testing procedures.

The forthcoming new system (Newkonzeption) offers several ways for stallions to demonstrate their abilities. On the one hand, through a 50-day test (long test) at a stallion station, specialized according to discipline emphasis on dressage or jumping, and on the other through a combination of a 14-day short test and threeday sport tests [competition-style tests] for dressage or jumping stallions, to be taken at age four and again at age five. For stallions with multiple talents or a high amount of thoroughbred blood, a combination of short testing, sport testing with dressage and jumping components as well as two separate field tests will be offered.

For 2015, therefore, the current stallion performance testing system remains in force, although only at the four stations Adelheidsdorf, Marbach, Neustadt/Dosse, and Schiekau. From 2016 on unproved (ungeprüfte) stallions will no longer be allowed in the approved breeding program.

Excerpts from the Main Press Release: Warendorf (fn-presse). At the end of December 2014 a majority of the Breeding Committee of the German Riding Association (FN) voted for a new concept for the performance testing of stallions of the German riding-horse breeds. This involves both shortening the duration of the performance and disposition tests at the stallion stations from 70 to 50 days and from 30 to 14 days, and the introduction of new sport tests for approved (gekörte) stallions, and will come into force in 2016.

28

Beginning in 2016 the duration of the stallion station performance testing will be shortened from 70 to 50 days, and the of the stallion station disposition testing from 30 to 14 days. The testing procedures at the station will be divided by discipline into those for dressage-emphasis stallions and those for jumping-emphasis stallions. The stallion-owners are free to choose which of these emphases their stallions are entered for.

At the 50-day stallion performance testing for three- to sevenyear-old stallions, only a single, weighted, dressage-emphasis or jumping-emphasis final score will be given, according to the emphasis chosen; this will be based on the appropriate discipline-specific testing criteria. The level demanded depends on the age of the stallion in question.

At the 14-day disposition testing for three and four-year-old stallions, all stallions will continue to be tested according to the testing categories used hitherto: interior qualities, gaits, and jumping aptitude. But here too the division of the testing procedures according to the discipline emphasized should lead to better comparability of the stallions.

Extension of the range of testing for stallions In order to demonstrate conclusive evidence of performance, stallions that have successfully completed the disposition testing must also be successfully tested in the newly introduced three-day sport-tests for approved (gekörte) stallions, once as four-year-olds and once as five-year-olds. The goal is to test these stallions under competition-like conditions and hence to make the stallion performance testing more attractive to stallion-owners and breeders.

Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015 • www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com

The sport tests for four- and five-year-old, [gekörte] stallions will take place at selected testing sites and extend over at least three days. In order to give more breeders and people interested in breeding an opportunity to get an impression of the quality and performance-readiness of these young sires under the saddle, these sport tests will be held on weekends in January through March. The sport-tests will be offered in the discipline-specific orientations “Dressage” and “Jumping,” and will correspond to the age-appropriate demands of dressage and jumping tests. This means that four-year-old stallions in Section I of the sport testing face the demands of Class A, and the five-year-old stallions in Section II those of Class L. The testing committee will judge the performance of the stallions both under their own riders and under the two outside riders.

In addition, the sport-tests will be offered with the discipline-specific orientation “multiple aptitude,” so that stallions with multiple aptitude have the opportunity to put their abilities to the test against standards analogous to those of a cross-country test, in addition to those of a dressage and jumping test. The multiple aptitude stallions must [successfully] complete three sport tests, in order to be finally entered in the Stallion Book I (HB I). As

Introducing

four-year-olds, between January and March, the stallions will take part in a three day sport test, in which they will be evaluated with movable cross country jumps, as well as according to the standards of the class A dressage-horse test and the class A jumper test (Part I). In August or September the four-year-old stallions will take part, at a one-day field test (sport test part II), possibly in conjunction with a competition event, in a cross-country event according to the standards of a cross-country horse test class A. Finally, as five-year-olds they must take part successfully in a three-day sport test (part III), in which their performance in a dressage test, a jumping test, and a cross-country test will be evaluated according to the standards of Class L. The sport test part III, like part II, will take place in August or September, because here also the stallions must complete an outdoor cross-country course, and in these months the conditions are usually best.

Beginning in 2016, the evaluations of breeding value will be made directly after the station testing. The results of the testing categories of the various forms of stallion performance testing will also be combined at the end of the year into an “integrated breeding value estimation” and published. The breed organizations are free to use the discipline specific partial breeding value scores instead

This is a condensed version of a press release found on this site: http://www.pferdezuchtverband-mv.de The name of the PDF is: Pressemitteilung_HLP_2016_Beschluss_Beirat_Zucht_ Dez2014_14-01-2015.pdf Translation copyright © Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015.

What This Means for The North American Stallion Testing The North American Stallion Testing, held at Silver Creek Farm in Oklahoma, currently holds a 70-day stallion test and a 30-day test. The test was canceled last year due to lack of entries, but will be held again in the fall of 2015.

The shortening of the German stallion testing will ultimately affect the North American testing. Summer Stoffel, owner of Silver Creek Farm and director of the Stallion Testing here, closely monitors the decisions made in Europe, and works closely with the German and other registries. The results from the first testing under the new system (scheduled for 2016) will be evaluated, and a decision will be made whether to introduce the changes to the North America testing. According to Stoffel, “If they like [the new system], they’ll talk about how to integrate it in the US. Some aspects of their system—like the Breed Index—don’t translate well. But even if things work differently in Germany, we are always in communication and working with them.”

Stoffel is committed to keeping the North American testing “FN compliant, and we always work to keep it internationally reciprocal.”

Breeder Industry Survey

Results Highlights

Warmblood Stallions of North America created a survey of breeders in July/August 2014. The primary purpose was to find out how mare owners find stallions to breed to. 294 people took the survey, of whom 96% were mare owners and 35% own at least one stallion. We found the answers very interesting, and worth sharing, so we devoted a page with many of the responses on WarmbloodStallionsNA.com (under the About Us menu). The survey was not limited to readers of WSNA. Below is a synopsis of some of the most interesting points we found.

We asked how many of the breeder’s own mares they bred in each of the last three years. The percentage of breeders who bred none of their mares was between 28 and 29% each year. The average number of mares bred per breeder in 2012 was 2.18, in 2013 it was 2.25, and in 2014 it was 2.46. This is a clear upward trend, and it would be nice to think it is a good sign for the industry.

Three years is not a long enough period to draw a definite conclusion, but there may be reason for some optimism.

A number of the questions were asked to find out what resources breeders used to find stallions. Overall, breeders use a wide variety of resources. Surprisingly to me, the single biggest response (12.96%) to “How I usually find stallions” is “Saw the stallion’s offspring in person.”

Very important for stallion owners deciding where to allocate resources: the most important way breeders found information about a stallion was through the stallion’s or farm’s own website.

This seems logical, but we see a lot of breeders posting so much on Facebook that they neglect their own websites. Facebook is fun, addictive, and can be good for making connections—but it ranked quite far down the list in importance. The full list is on our website, but one take-away is for stallion owners to make sure your website is updated often and is accurate.

We asked how likely breeders were to choose a stallion who fulfilled certain criteria. The full chart of responses is on WarmbloodStallionsNA.com, but here are a couple: F Interestingly, breeders are more likely to breed to a proven sire

than a proven competitor.

F Good news for North American breeders: 40.68% said they definitely plan to breed to a stallion standing in North America, compared with 22.05% who said they definitely plan to breed to a stallion standing in Europe.

Do Print Magazine Ads Work?

There were also a couple of questions about Warmblood Stallions of North America specifically, to find out if, and how, breeders use our print magazine. The results were very encouraging. We heard that yes, breeders do use WSNA when stallion shopping—but they don’t use it the way you might expect—and that may make a difference to how advertisers define success.

In the olden days, evaluating print ads was easy: you ran an ad, you got phone calls. It doesn’t work that way anymore. What we found in our survey is that Warmblood Stallions of North America is a key resource for breeders. They look forward to it, they are excited when it comes and pore over it, they dog-ear the pages, mark the stallions they like—and then move online. They visit the stallion’s profile on WarmbloodStallionsNA.com, they check him out on Facebook and perhaps on his registry’s page. Most important is the stallion’s or breeder’s own website. They ask other breeders; they ask on forums. Then you may get that phone call.

Bottom line: if you’re expecting a phone call from your ad, you will probably be disappointed. But if you plan your print ad as part of the whole promotional network that today’s breeders are using—then a print ad in Warmblood Stallions of North America can be where it all starts.

Dr. Thomas Nissen: An Interview with Christopher Hector

down every year about 10-15%. I think it is now down about 40% in the last three or four years.”

Is this the effect of the global financial crisis?

“I think the financial crisis was one factor, but we should be aware that there is a big change in social development; we have to recognize this.

In Europe, society has changed; the birth rate goes down and the young people have many sport alternatives; riding and the whole horse industry has been affected by this. The time we had will not come back. A new century has begun, and we as breeding associations, and also our breeders, have to accept this, and make new breeding programs to fit this new situation.”

Dr Thomas Nissen became the breeding director of the Holsteiner Association in 1989. He joined the Holsteiner Association in 1988 after completing his Agriculture degree at Kiel; the appointment was a logical next step since his thesis topic was the mare performance test and fertility of the Holsteiner horse.

One of Dr Nissen’s primary concerns has been the modernization of the Holsteiner horse using English Thoroughbreds, and he has brought into the breeding program stallions like Königspark xx, Grundyman xx, Sir Shostakovich xx, Barnaul xx, Mytens xx, Parco xx, Esteban xx and Heraldik xx. He also opened the doors to foreign blood, primarily using French stallions, with Quidam de Revel now a major influence in Holstein. Famous sport horses such as Donnerhall and, much later, For Pleasure and Stakkato, were approved in breeding trials under his leadership. I caught up with him at Neumünster show, in the heart of Holstein, and recorded this far-ranging and frank interview.

Talking to breeders and breeding officials all over Europe, breeding is way down on previous years. Is this downturn affecting the Holsteiner Association?

“Yes. In Holstein, we have had a very good market and the breeders could sell foals for good prices, until three or four years ago, when things started to change, and the numbers started to go

34

Will there be a great reduction in mare numbers – like there was at the end of World War II? “I think in every crisis, you also have big chances to find a higher level in the quality, and that is our aim. We say to our breeders, okay, the situation is as it is, and the chance to take a profit out of this is to become better and better in the quality. We have a high level of quality in jumping in our breeding population, but when I started 20 years ago, we had 4000 brood mares, then it grew and grew, very quickly, especially from 6000 to 9000, and I think this period was too short to maintain the good quality.

They produced many horses, but not with enough quality, and now it goes on, and we have around 7000 brood mares and that is a good basis, maybe six or six and a half, is also good. A lot of breeders still own their brood mares, but they will not cover them.

So we have 7000 broodmares but we will have around 3000 foals each year. We can only produce as many foals as the breeders can sell, but we say to our breeders, it is necessary that you hold on to your quality mare, and now it is time to bring your quality mare to a good stallion because in four years, quality riding horses will become more expensive because the numbers have gone down.”

“In Holland, Scandinavia, France, all the breeding regions, the covering rate is down 50% so in a few years we will have a small number of quality performance horses.”

The strength of Holstein in the past has always been sticking to breeding jumping horses?

Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015 • www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com

The Holstein Future “In the last ten, fifteen years, the other breeds have bought good genetics from the Holsteiner and a lot of very good stallions have gone to those areas, so the jumping quality grows and grows in those places­­—that is a problem for us. But I think it is the same situation if you have a factory for cars, if you produce a good car, like a Porsche or a Mercedes, an Audi, you have a marque, a brand image, and I hope that the marque of the Holsteiner is very popular all over the world and all breeders who want to breed jumping horses will come back and take the original Holsteiner again. It is necessary that we have very good breeding programs to produce more interesting horses with a better quality than anyone can find elsewhere. You can drive a Japanese car if you want, but for the people who want to express their personality, there is an identification with the branding of certain top cars, and I hope that the riders and the trainers will continue to regard the Holsteiner as the best.”

For twenty, thirty years, the Holsteiner mix has been a variation on

two chords: Cor de la Bryère and Capitol with the occasional Thoroughbred, will this continue to be the recipe for the future?

“The Holsteiner population is a clear population, because we have unique mare lines—we will not take any mare lines from the French or the Dutch, Hanoverian, Westfalia, whatever. We only take Holsteiner mares in our breeding books, and all the mares in our books have a Stamm number. The older mare lines have numbers and you can follow those numbers through and learn something about the quality of the Holsteiner breed. We will not change that.

“It is only some stallions that we take from outside. Thoroughbred stallions; we need the Thoroughbred to make the horses intelligent, tough and modern. We are always looking for foreign blood, and we prefer stallions from France and we are looking for them, but it is difficult because every breed, the Dutch, the Belgian, all the German breeds, they go around the world looking

for interesting blood, and with the globalization and the flow of information on the internet, it is very hard to find an exclusive source of new blood anywhere. We need to add fresh influences to our population with stallions from outside.”

and buy the semen on the internet. They never look at the stallion live, and say, okay, is he the right stallion for my mare or not? I think that is necessary. If you go back 30 years or so, there was no artificial insemination, and the breeders had to go to the stallion station to look at the stallion, okay this stallion is right for my

Casall

Were you surprised by the success of Baloubet?

“We took Baloubet years ago in our breeding program. It is not easy, he is a little bit of a strong, heavy type with not so good a face, and he needs special mares. There is no discussion, he is one of the best, if not the best, producer of jumping horses in the world. We look for this blood, our Association has a son, Baracuda, out of a Contender mare. He is a lovely type, he has a good face, not too heavy, he is a good jumper and we try it with him. We have approved grandsons, like Balou’s Bellini, by Paul Schockemöhle’s stallion, Balou du Rouet. It is a very nice stallion, he is out of a Holsteiner mare by Lord Incipit.”

How important do you think it is that a stallion should be a good competitor himself? Baloubet was a fabulous competitor, but Balou was pretty “normal;” is that a big factor for you when you look at a stallion?

“I think there is also a danger in that we live in this era of globalization, we live in a total information society, and the danger is that only a handful of breeders can handle this information. A lot of them look and say, oh how nice, he is in competition, that is the stallion for my mare, they look on the internet for the dealer

mare—and I think we bred better horses than today. Today everyone says the best stallions are in competition, Baloubet, Quick Star, Kannan…”

Casall…

“Casall is a slightly different situation, I will come back to him, but sometimes the stallions are only good competition horses and not good in breeding. We know this because we had the stallion, Silbersee, he was the perfect sport horse, lovely type, Michael Rüping won the Hamburg Derby and many Grand Prix with him, but he was no stallion. His offspring were very different types, different performance, and today we have no influence from him. But the breeders only see the competition success on the TV and they think that is the right stallion, and when he is popular, they hope, oh if I have a foal from this stallion, it must be interesting to the buyers. But I think only the quality of the horse will bring success, not the pedigree. That is a problem today, there are a lot of stallions that are only popular stallions, but not the best breeding stallions…”

Is this partly because there is so much mis-information on the internet? I get emails, progeny of my stallion have won so many Grand

Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015 • www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com

Prix in the past 12 months, but when I go to the database, this is not true, total lies, but once it is on the internet it gets repeated, so it must be true…

“Nobody controls this information, and that is one of the biggest problems, so there is a lot of misleading information, lots of good marketing—it is a chance for the stallion owners to market their stallions—but the breeders will not have success with all these nice pictures and clever marketing…

“I will come back to Casall because Casall is in my eyes, for the Holsteiner population, a special stallion because he is a successful horse in competition but he also does a fantastic job as a breeding stallion. He is himself not the perfect type you might dream about. He is a lovely horse but his genes and his mother line is one of the best in the Holsteiner population. There are lots of good competition horses and stallions on that mother line. It is not so big a mother line, it is a small line but always with very good quality in the horses.

“Casall is by Caretino, who was a Caletto II son—one of very few because Caletto II only bred for a few years before he died, but he did a very good job, and of the few stallions, Caretino was the best of Caletto II. Casall has a Lavall mother, and Lavall is Landgraf and Sacramento Song. So we have the influence of the Thoroughbred by Sacramento Song, and Landgraf ’s sire, Ladykiller, and Caretino by Caletto II by Cor de la Bryère, by the Thoroughbred, Rantzau. In the background a lot of Thoroughbred, combined with a good mother line and good performance stallions, Landgraf, and Sacramento Song, who not only brought Thoroughbred influence, but also good jumping quality. Behind this is the Ramzes’ son, Raimond, and influence of Ramzes was enormous in the Holsteiner population, especially for performance horses. Capitol is one of the stallions with the greatest influences of Ramzes blood in his pedigree. This combination produces the high genetic level of Casall.”

What particular mares does Casall need?

“You have to look a little bit that they are long in their legs, this is the type Caretino needs and also Casall needs. They should not be too heavy, and then he will do a good job on different backgrounds of pedigree and blood. Always the combination is good in Holstein if you find in the background the blood of Cor de la Bryère or Ladykiller. Casall should find a lot of mares with this in their pedigrees in Holstein.”

Looking at the new stars, I know that Diarado was the number one stallion on the German FN breeding values, but looking at the two colts that were not approved at the KWPN licensing, they looked a little pretty but without scope – and Diarado has yet to appear on the international circuit, while Casall had already won a Grand Prix when he was nine years old…

“I think with Diarado it is another situation. Casall when he was young and came to our approval, he was a little small, not so perfect like Diarado, and the breeder thought that he had a nice pedigree, so we try him—but not like Diarado. Diarado was a champion when he came to the approval. The whole jumping world applauded Diarado, he was one of the best stallions we

Corrado

have had at the approvals in Holstein, he was such a perfect type, and he was a very good jumper, the spectators gave him a standing ovation. He had an enormous background when he started his breeding career, and that was not so easy for the owner, for the rider, and a lot of breeders wanted to use his semen, he had hundreds of mares and it was hard to manage the covering and the sport career. They tried, and I think he was quite good as a young horse. We had him in Holstein a few weeks ago in a stallion presentation, and he did it very well, he is a good jumping horse. If he has that last capacity for jump a Grand Prix, we have to wait and see. I don’t know if the training of the rider goes in this direction, in the last few years, the breeding has been the main point, not the sport career – maybe they change it now and work with frozen semen. He makes a very good job as a breeding stallion, we have a lot of good offspring, we approved some sons. We have a very interesting four year old son, Dinken out of a Caretino / Cassini mare; he is a perfect jumper with a lot of capacity, and we have a lot of good daughters in the performance test of the young mares.

“I can understand why Diarado has such a high breeding value, based on the mare tests, and the 70 day test of the stallion, and there are a few offspring in competition. I think in the years to come we will see his offspring competing at the higher levels.”

Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015 • www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com

But it is true that some of the greatest jumping stallions of all time have been rejected when they came to their licensing and only licensed when they succeeded in the sport…

“Corrado was one… but that is one of our aims of our Association, to bring stallions in the top level in the sport, now Casall, we also have Quintero (Quantum / Chaimonix) who is with Rolf-Goran Bengstsson. He also has several younger stallions in his stable that he is trying, and we hope there is one or two that can come into the highest level of the sport, but it is very expensive to bring stallions to this level, and it is a long and a hard way for an Association because of the money involved. We have to find sponsors, like Mr Romo at La Silla, or now the Danish stud farm, Stutteri Ask with Casall. Not every stallion is able to go to this level, it is not just the question of capacity, there are many factors that must come together for a stallion to reach this top level, a big influence is the rider, you need a top rider to reach this level. It is not a problem of the genetics, there are many other factors that must come together.”

We have seen a number of very important influences in Holstein, the Thoroughbreds, the influence of Cor de la Bryère, what would you add to the mix now if you could?

“I think we are now always working with a high level of quality in terms of type, it is difficult to always make the type better and better. We have a breeding aim, it is on the paper, but it is also always in our heads: we always look for the perfect horse—but you will never find the completely perfect horse. You always have to weigh up the different points. I would say with Diarado, he was the perfect type: he was a type that we aim to find. What is inter-

esting is that he is also out of a very good mother line, one of the best. His mother is by Corrado, who was a perfect international jumper, and then the combination with Diamant de Sémilly.

Diamant de Sémilly is not known as an easy stallion because he is a very heavy type and produces offspring with a heavy type, but with Diarado, it was perfect.”

Ludwig Christmann found a negative correlation between marks for conformation and jumping ability…

“Okay that may be, but we try to combine both. We know we have to make compromises if we want a perfect performance horse—then you will not have a horse that is correct in every respect. When a horse is perfect in jumping, like Corrado, when he was young, very narrow, tall, not the perfect stallion type but he was a jumper with such capacity that we had never seen before, so we say, okay, if the stallion can give these genes into the next generation, then he is interesting as a stallion for us. And he could, and he did it for us. He produced a lot of offspring that jumped at the higher level. In his time he was a famous stallion but the breeders knew that if they used Corrado, they will not get the perfect type, the topline a little bit long, a little bit deep, not so correct and they are not so easy to handle, they are difficult, but they had a lot of scope and capacity. If you want to get this into your breed, then it is good to go to Corrado, but if you want correct horses, a little more easy to handle, then you have to take another, perhaps Casall; they are better in the head. That is breeding and we will never reach the aim and say, okay, now we have everything.”

What is your feeling about the use of clone stallions?

“We in Holstein are not friends of cloning because cloning is not a breeding process for the future. You clone a good competition horse, or a stallion like Levisto or Chellano, but it is a philosophy of Mr Melchior, and we accept this, he can do it, but we don’t want it. For me, there are so many questions, and we get no answers, not from the government or from the EU. For me, the first question is: who is the breeder of a clone? Is Mr Melchior, if he makes a clone, the breeder? He says ‘no, I will not be the breeder, the breeder is the original breeder’ – but did he ask the breeder of the original, ‘do you agree that we make a clone? I will pay you some money because you had the idea of the original, and if you agree, I will make a copy.’ He doesn’t do that, he doesn’t ask anybody.

“Is cloning an interesting breeding method? I think not; it is against the small breeder. People like Mr Melchior with a lot of money, they can pay for clones, but it doesn’t help the farmer breeders that we have in Holstein. So we don’t allow clones in our breeding program.”

You have mentioned several times the need for Thoroughbred blood, but there is a counter argument from people like Arnaud Evain that you can keep the proportion of Thoroughbred without using Thoroughbreds…

“I think we have to put Thoroughbreds into our population with a lot of experience and feeling, and this feeling, only the breeder has. Now the problem is that the breeder wants to sell his foals, it is more difficult to sell a foal by a Thoroughbred. If they get a filly

40

2015_WBstallionsNA_half_O.indd 1

by the Thoroughbred, it is interesting for the breeder, because they can bring it into their mother line, and you can breed very well with a half blood mare because many of the most famous jumping stallions are heavy and they need a half blood mare. So there is no problem with a filly foal but with a colt foal it is more difficult.

“Mr Arnaud who says there is enough Thoroughbred in our population, I don’t think that is right because when we go to France to look at foals, we miss the influence of the Thoroughbred because the French horses are often very heavy. For us, it was better to find a stallion like Cor de la Bryère who was by the Thoroughbred, Rantzau, but you will not find this now. You will find a little bit the influence of Laudanum, sometimes Hand in Glove, but Hand in Glove was more the heavy type, and then you have to go back to stallions like Furioso or Rantzau but they are not in the second or third, more in the fourth and fifth generation, and that is too much in the background.

“I think every generation has to use Thoroughbred stallions, if they don’t do it, the Thoroughbred influence will go back and back and back. The thinking of Mr Evain was if we have 50% in each horse and we cross, we always have 50%, I think that is a dream but it didn’t happen. We see in the Holsteiner population, if we have periods of five or six years without Thoroughbred then you can see that the mares and the foals become more heavy, and we always need the influence of the Thoroughbred.”

The search goes on…

This article is reprinted with kind permission of the author, Christopher Hector, The Horse Magazine, www.HorseMagazine.com

With the recent news of the stallion legend Contender passing away at the ripe old age of 30, we found it fitting to report on his great success at stud.

Contender is proving to be the most influential son of Calypso II. Here is his description in The Holsteiner Horse by Dr Thomas Nissen, Gabriele Pochhammer, Donata von Preußen and Joachim Tietz: “An important stud stallion with fantastic lines, great expression and charm. All in all a stud stallion of exceptional class: first class conformation with very well-balanced paces and good rhythm, whereby he could have had a more ground covering walk and a more pronounced flank. Outstanding jumping ability, as could be expected, considering his genes, very good style and technique.”

Contender’s dam Gofine is very much the product of the Haseldorfer Marsh—and all the stallions on the dam line stood at the Haselau Station, where Contender spent his last years.

Contender is out of the Ramiro daughter Gofine, who was in turn by the great Thoroughbred sire, Ladykiller. Her line goes: Ramiro x Ladykiller xx x Heidkrug x Loretto-First-Mirza-Rudolf-Defregger-Justinus-Achill-Fritz.

In 20 years of breeding Gofine produced 17 foals, all of whom, with the exception of the mare Goldküste by Lord, competed. The mare Ulina (by Chicago) won the German Championship of 1992 with Susanne Behring – Ulina’s granddaughter, Think Twice by Corrado I, was a successful international showjumper with Leopold van Asten. Gofine’s daughters were excellent producers: Fine Kiss

by Caletto I out of M-Lareen by Leander, competed at the WEG in Jerez and the 2003 European Championships, with the Austrian rider Tatjana Freytag von Loringhoven. A full brother to Fine

Kiss was ridden by the American Candice Schlom-King. Gofine’s daughter, Akelei by Landgraf, was the dam of the winner of the 1992 stallion licensing Cassandro—who went on to win the Grand Prix of s’Hertogenbosch with Jerry Smit.

Nico Detlef bred Gofine to Caletto I in 1988 to produce the stallion Cornetto, who was a successful competitor on the international circuit with Lars Pedersen.

Contender won the 1987 Adelheidsdorf stallion performance test with a jumping index of 146.6. He went on to be the 1-b main premium vice-champion in Oldenburg on the basis of his excellent first crop of foals.

It is interesting how Contender came to be standing at the beginning of his career in Oldenburg. In an interview with Etienne van Muylem in the December 2007/January 2008 Z Magazine, the Manager of the Holstein Verband, Norbert Boley explained: “I bought Contender as a foal. Eventually he was brought to the selection and half way during his performance, Klatte from Oldenburg had expressed his interest for the stallion over a pint of beer. Things developed so enthusiastically with a number of studbook people that Klatte already believed that he had bought the stallion, while I, the authorized person, did not know anything about it. When I learnt one day later that Klatte genuinely believed he was the new owner, I did not send him away just like that. Never treat your clients with disrespect – at least not when they act in good faith. We talked about it and came to a compromise. The stallion was leased to Oldenburg for three years.”

Contender was one of the most sought after stallions in Germany.

He has produced 80 approved sons, and 59 state premium mares

Warmblood Stallions of North America 2015 • www.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com

including Riconda, who won the Elite Mare Show at Rastede in 1993. As of 2006, in Holstein, Oldenburg, Hannover and Rhineland, Contender had produced 782 registered mares, 498 successful offspring in the sport.

During his first three years at stud in Oldenburg he produced an impressive number of foals that went on to international careers: Niko (Geoff Billington), Copa d’Oro (Yves Houtackers) and Maria Callas (Ben Schröder)—there is also Herbert Blöcker’s eventer, Chicoletto. His first crop also produced Contango, the winner of the stallion licensing test in 1991 and the sire of the 2009 Dressage World Cup winner, Ravel. Other stallions bred during his time in Oldenburg include Continue, Caius, Clinto, Calvador and Cashman.

formance test in 1998, scoring almost exactly the same jumping score as his celebrated sire, 146.29!

Thomas Mohr, the director of the Maas J. Hell stallion station, told me that, like all good stallions, Contender needs “his’”type of mare: “He has proven what he has for the breed, he gives lots of power.

He is the sire of many horses on the international showjumping scene. He is a great stallion, you either like him or you don’t like him, but he has set his footmark. He is comparable to Grannus in Oldenburg, or Pilot in Westfalia, but he needs a special mare, a blood type mare. Each stallion needs a special mare.”

Contender returned to Holstein and was stationed at Hans-Jürgen Köhncke’s stud at Badenhof. It was Mr Köhncke who bred the three-time Hamburg Derby winner, Collin.

“That’s the problem with the hobby breeders: if they have a good mare, they want to breed her to Contender, but everybody knows it doesn’t fit, because the mare is heavy. That’s the difference with the older breeders, you can say to them, ‘don’t do that’, and they take the advice.”

Still it took awhile for the breeders to appreciate Contender. His first foals in Holstein weren’t as spectacular as the ones in Oldenburg and it gradually became apparent that Contender worked best with mares with a high proportion of Thoroughbred blood.

As one of the “big three” stallions in Holstein, Contender was limited to a book of 350 mares a year—and each year over 700 applications are received! No wonder Contender ruled the roost at “his” stallion station at Haselau.

F

The success of his offspring made him so sought after that in 2000, the Holsteiner Board decided to limit the use of Contender to registered Holsteiner mares.

At the Holsteiner Stallion Show in Neumünster in 2001, several stallions, including Contender, contracted Equine Virus Arteritis (EVA). As a result, Contender was moved from the Elmshorn stallion depot to the very traditional stallion station at Haselau, from where his dam line originated.

Contender has dominated German breeding values for many years now and continued to produce exciting young stallions like Contendro (premium stallion in the approval of 1999, and winner of the performance test at Adelheidsdorf the following year).

Marco Kutscher had great success riding three approved Contender sons in international sport: Contreo, Conterno Grande and Montender (German Champion of 2003, bronze medallist at the Athens Games and European Champion 2005). Toni Hassmann won the German Showjumping Derby three times in a row with Collin without picking up a single fault. Checkmate—bred in Hanover and out of a Pik Bube II mare—won on the Rider’s Tour with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and was her ride at the European Championships. The licensed Holsteiner, Controe (out of Amalva by Aloube Z) has twice been runner up in major classes at CSIs in Stockholm and Amsterdam. Another Contender, the 2004 world champion of sires, Con Spirito R (dam, Galaune by Caletto I), is based in Switzerland at the Ruetimann Stud, and has been successfully competed by Theo Muff – he too is proving a handy sire.

Contender’s influence has spread throughout Germany, with his two sons, Cordobes I & II acquired by the Westfalien stud at Warendorf. Cordobes I was the winner of his perwww.WarmbloodStallionsNA.com • Online Stallion Profiles, Breeder & Trainer Listings, Stallion Resources

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 movement 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’, Amazing 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 PA Bred yearling fillies.

Aut of the Balou (Amazing x DoUThinkUCanDance xx)

The most remarkable quality about this incredible stallion is not his classic good looks or his stunning athletic ability, it is his personality. 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 dressage 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 completed 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.

Balt’Amour is fully Lifetime approved by Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association (BWP) & Rheinland Pfalz-Saar (RPSI) and ISR/Oldenburg NA. He completed the 2009 North American 70-Day Stallion Test with excellent scores. He was the top scoring Hunter Stallion.

Raven (barn name) is an extremely good natured horse with a lot of personality. He is very easy to work around and loves attention. He is kept in the same barn as the mares and he is very well behaved.

He is a Homozygous Black and Sabino black stallion with four stockings and a star and a snip. Homozygous Black means he can only produce Black or Bay offspring. Sabino means he will always produce white legs and white on the face with a sabino mare. He will produce white most of the time with any color mare.

Photo: Heather n. French

He is known for producing offspring with excellent conformation; beautiful toplines, great neck set and chiseled heads with big eyes. Very correct legs and great feet. (Raven went barefoot until just before he left for the stallion test!) Many site champions and almost all premium foals and the breed registry inspections.

Raven is extremely comfortable to ride and is naturally well balanced. He can be ridden on a loose rein and still keeps the same relaxed pace. No rushing or pulling and seems to know that he has to be good when someone is on his back. When he is turned out he loves to run and buck but under tack he is really surprisingly quiet. He takes absolutely no prep to go to the show ring. Just warm up and go! He has classic beautiful hunter movement, very fancy, and has jumped (in great form) over five feet in the jump chute very effortlessly. He really loves to jump too! He goes right back around to do the jump chute again if we don’t stop him!

The first Approved son of Balou du Rouet bred, born and standing in North America. Out of Ornella, who is by the 2005 Stallion of the Year Argentinus. Argentinus is one of only two stallions in history to consistently produce International level horses in both Jumping and Dressage. This is as much about the great brain as it is about athletic ability. His sire Balou du Rouet is the best son of 3-time World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medal winner Baloubet du Rouet. We believe Bliss MF is the best of both bloodlines.

Bliss MF

Photo: Angela Pritchard

The 2012 Reserve Champion of the NA 70-Day Stallion Test, with the highest overall score of 127.6, but having the 5% age deduction of 5.29 subtracted still gave Bliss MF a terrific score of 122.31, just shy of the winning score of 126.59 (no age deduction). Bliss MF was definitely the most well rounded stallion, finishing second (by .81) in jumping with a score of 124.23 (winning score was 125.04) and third in Dressage (by .31) with a score of 119.77 (second place was 120.08, first was 135.93 both with no age deduction). Equally as important were Bliss MF’s interior scores: 9 for Character, 9 for Temperament, 9.5 for Willingness to Work, 9 for Constitution. His movement scores were 8 for trot, 9 for Gallop and, of course the score we are most proud of, a perfect 10 for Jump.

Photo: Angela Pritchard

Bliss MF has foal crops from 2012, 2013 and 2014 and ALL ARE PREMIUM. In three years he has had a total of 16 site champions! Oldenburg GOV awarded four Foals of Distinction and BWP has twice named Bliss MF fillies tops in the country.

We are beyond excited about what Bliss MF is putting on the ground! To date every Bliss MF foal that was for sale has sold.

Cabalito was imported from Germany in 2001 to be the flagship hunter stallion for Whitehedge Farm. He combined a very successful show and breeding career since 2001 winning Championships at major horse shows around the country in the First Year Greens, Regular Working Hunters, Adult Hunters, and Junior Jumpers. He has established himself as a very important breeding stallion for the US. His offspring are particularly sought after for their fantastic temperaments, rideability and beautiful hunter movement. Cabalito has been heavily utilized in the breeding program at Whitehedge Farm as his first and second, and third generation offspring continue to prove his value as an important part of American Sport Horse Breeding.

His offspring have won year end awards in Hunter Breeding, Pre-Green Hunters, Adult Hunters, Children’s Hunters, and the Equitation divisions. They are especially suited for the Hunter Derby ring with their bravery and scope for the larger fences.

His dam sire, Calato is one of the most prolific sons of Capitol.

He was competed successful by Herbert Blocker, who started him in the Bundeschampionat. Under the Danish Junior Jennifer Pedersen Foghd, he continued his career; the pair won the Scandinavian and the Danish Championship of Young Riders.

Calato produces offspring with great temperaments, exceptional movements, good scope and excellent rideability.

Carrasca Z is a Mr. GQ of stallions with a personality to match.

He is a true gentlemen and loves his sport. Hank earned one of the highest free jumping scores to date in the BWP Registry during his approvals. In 2014, he began showing under saddle and has continued to have an exceptional year in the 1.05m Jumpers. Hank was Overall Grand Champion of the 4-yr-old IJF and was also Champion in both the scope/type portions.

At the 2014 Young Horse Show Finals he earned a perfect score of 10 in the jump chute; a score that has never been given in this series before. Hank was the Champion 4-yr-old in both the jump chute and the in-hand class and was Reserve Champion in jumping under saddle at the finals. Next, he will compete at WEF 2015 in the 5-yr-olds. Sire Asca Z has had several top placings in 5* Grand Prix under Christian Ahlmann.

His dam is the product of top-class sires, without exception, 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 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 descendant 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. Carraleena’s dam line (Cantus xLandgraf ) is no less remarkable as the producers of top showjumpers. Cantus died early before he could reach his peak; he left his legacy in his winning offspring, particularly Calvaro the Olympic medalist under Willi Melliger. Landgraf is one of the most well known foundation sires of Holsteiners often referred to as “one of the two great jewels in the crown of modern Holstein breeding.”

This stallion is the epitome of the well rounded stallion. He was the 2013 70-Day Stallion Jumping Champion with a huge score of 128.55 and third in Dressage with a score of 117.26 for a total of 122.53 AFTER the 5% age deduction. Individual scores include 10 for Jumping, Trot 8.5, Gallop 8.5. Interior scores were: Character 9.5, Temperament 9, Willingness to Work 9.5, Constitution 9.5.

Super comfortable to ride, easy no-prep attitude, could excel in any discipline... Jumpers, Dressage or Hunters. Because of his huge scope he will be competing in the Jumpers. Easy enough for his Amateur Owner and powerful enough for his pro rider.

His first two foals have proven to be clones of him from two completely different mares. His son, Carry Me Home M was named Gold Premium and his daughter Carried Away M was as well. As the Judge, Otto Schalter, was branding the colt he said “I can’t wait to see this one in sport. Super super colt!”

Beautiful uphill conformation and a great mind coupled with extraordinary athleticism is a winning combination for this very prepotent sire.

Carthago Sun I (Sunny for short) was Champion of the first CWHBA Stallion Performance Test in 2000. His pedigree combines the proven Holsteiner performance bloodlines of Capitol / Cor de la Bryere /Landgraf I. Sunny placed in 1.30 m classes at Spruce Meadows and Rocky Mountain Show Jumping.

In Germany we say when somebody breezes through challenging tasks effortlessly: He/She does everything with his/her left! Sunny is a good example. He lost his right eyesight in an accident when he was one month old. Hence, he literally does everything “with his left”!

PROGENY: Cera 99 and Cita 2000 (dam COLIBRI by Caletto I) were both Champions of their respective Performance Field Tests in 2002 and 2003. CITA was sold and exported to Germany, where she became one of the top 5 & 6 year-old jumpers.

Full-brother CONDOR II has been successfully jumping 1.45 m courses at Spruce Meadows. Patagonia by YAVARI XX out of Pandora’s Charm was declared the Western Champion of 4-year-old jumpers in the Jump Canada Finals in August 2009.

Chilly Pepper (by Sunny) took the Reserve Championship title.

Pandora’s Charm (Carthago Sun I x Caletto I) herself achieved Championships in 1.15/1.20m competitions under her junior rider Kelley Thurlow.

CATALINE (Carthago Sun I x Power/Pilot) and her junior rider Tayah Sobie have been highly successful in winning 1.30 m classes at Spruce Meadows and at Thermal in 2013 and 2014.

A proven producer of all around sporthorses, Chicardo has over thirty-five (35) USEF competition recorded offspring with at least one actively competing in each of the four show USEF sanctioned disciplines (dressage, jumping, eventing, and hunters) as of October 2014.

Chicardo’s sire, Clinton, was a top international jumper and ranked among the top WBF jumper sires of the world. Ramiro, Cor de la Bryere, Corrado and Capitol I appear prominently in Chicardo’s blood. Dam Mycarda also produced three licensed sons as testament to the quality of the motherline “Lord” stamm 1298.

Chicardo stamps his foals with lovely heads, great movement, superior jumping technique and the desire to please their owners/riders. This elegant modern stallion combines the extreme athletic quality of his sire Clinton with Clinton a gentle temperament and rideability for mare owners that want to breed and raise their foals at home.

Cohiba VDL comes to North America as the 2010 Swedish Stallion Test Champion as well as Hanoverian Verband approved the year before.

During the test in Sweden Cohiba received a 9 in jumping and 9 on type. It was stated that he expressed large movement, blood and superb capacity for the jumping sport. This has been demonstrated in the last few years at venues such as Falsterbo and Lummen. Cohiba is now entering the 1.50m level for 2015.

Cohiba’s Sire, Chacco Blue, was a very successful sport and breeding stallion who sadly passed away in 2012 at the age of 14. He had numerous placings as a young horse and continued his success all the way through to the Grand Prix ranks. In 2009 he won the London Olympia Grand Prix as well as placings at Hamburg, Hagen, Calgary and Aachen. Chacco Blue has produced over 22 approved sons.

Cohiba’s Dam, Acorda H is a Hannoverian mare who descends from a States Premium mother line. She performed successfully in the jumping sport up to the Grand Prix level.

Her sire, Acord II is said to be one of the best Holsteiner stallions of our time. He was winner of his stallion test with a 9.5 in jumping and the reserve champion at the Bundeschampionate in Verden in 1991. Acord II has produced over 40 approved sons including one of the most influential breeding stallions of today, Acorado.

He is best suited for small-medium sized mares with good blood. Cohiba offers scope and overall balance and movement to his offspring.

HH Copin Van De Broy is an exceptional stallion who has proven time and time again to be a worthy son of Darco. In 2005 he was approved by the BWP and in 2011 approved in France with the Selle Francais stud books.

Early in his career Copin Van De Broy proved to be a top show jumping prospect by accumulating top results in the 7 and 8 year old divisions. At age 9, Copin stormed onto the world stage in a big way by being selected for the European Championships. In that same year he won the World Cup Grand Prix in the Mechelen CSI5*, and was the winner of the Sires of the World in Mechelen CSI5* under the rider of Gregory Wathelet.

In 2012, Copin came to the stables of World renowned German rider, Marcus Ehning. The pair had great success on the International scene including wins in the Nations Cups of Rotterdam and Rome along with numerous top placings in World Cup events and Grand Prix.

Now piloted by Quentin Judge, Copin Van De Broy continues his success internationally. He is a top stallion choice for breeders who are looking for power, scope, a strong canter and length in body. He is best suited for mares with ample blood and modern conformation.

Coruscant was the Reserve Champion at the 2013 Holsteiner Verband Stallion Approvals. He completed his 70 day test in the fall of 2014 with high scores. The comments from the German Judges at the Holsteiner Verband Approval: “An enormously typey Holsteiner Stallion that his presence increases every time he is presented. The classical presence of this Conner son has since his first selection taken an incredible positive development so that he has presented himself as a perfect type. The correct confirmation gives him a beautiful physical appearance. His movement shows the suppleness of his gaits and his readability.

The walk is exceptional, the trot and canter shows great elasticity and the stallion shows a natural talent over jumps. He responds with great confidence around his environment and confirmed the quality of his mare stamm 569. The stamm of the stallion Quintero, Lamour and Akinos.”

HTH Crazy For Crown was licensed with sBs - Belgian Sport Horse - North America in 2014. He has a fantastic jump, lovely gaits as well as an excellent temperament. He is proving to be quite the competitor who has been consistently in the money under rider Rich Fellers at shows from Thermal to Spruce Meadows, winning in classes from 1.20 to 1.45.

HTH Crazy For Crown is by the Zangersheide stallion Crown Z, whose parents Ratina Z and Carthago Z pretty much wrote jumping sports history. Crown Z follows in the footsteps of his sire and dam producing a number of top international horses in the jumping ring.

HTH Crazy For Crown has just as impressive breeding on his dam’s side. His mother, Crazy For Carnute, is sired by Carnute who attended the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Crazy for Carnute’s dam is For Fun by the well known stallion For Pleasure, a two time Olympic gold medal winner. I think it is safe to say that “Gold Runs Through It.”

Diamant de Semilly qualified at 4, 5 and 6 years old for the French National Young Horse Championship in Fontainebleau and went on to compete at the highest level in show jumping.

Available for the first time via cooled semen for the 2015 breeding season! Licensed in 2000 in Germany, Don Hill completed his 30-Day Test at Vechta. In 2003, he qualified for the Bundeschampionate under Anje Rietbrock, who also developed the Hilltop stallion Royal Prince in his early years. Don Hill was then exported to England and shown very successfully through Prix St. Georges. In late 2010, Don Hill was imported into the U.S. He made his U.S. debut earning scores in the high 60s at Prix St. Georges on the competitive Florida circuit and is now showing with his owner.

Sire, Don Gregory, has had an impressive career combining breeding and sport duties. Under Martina Hannover, he was an FEI winner though Grand Prix. Don Gregory has sired 10 approved sons including Don Davidoff and Day Dream, States Premium and Brilliant Ring daughters, and many successful offspring that are winning in FEI dressage competitions around the globe, including Don Charly and Daylight. Don Hill’s dam, Hella, is by the important Thoroughbred sire Hill Hawk xx. Hill Hawk xx stood in Oldenburg from 1977-1989, and was then stationed at Celle from 1990-1995. He sired four approved sons including Hitchcok. His descendants have proven their worth as very successful dressage mounts. This combination of Don Gregory-Hella has resulted in three SPS mares in addition to Don Hill.

In 2011, Don Hill won the Four-Year-Old and Older Stallion class and was the Champion Stallion of Dressage at Devon earning high scores and comments praising his correct conformation, powerful hind end, and stallion type. His first North American foals arrived in 2013. Don Hill provided a positive impact in each breeding and Don de Lion earned an 8.5 on movement at his inspection. At the 2014 Dressage at Devon, Don Hill offspring Don de Lion, Don Gregory Donhaela, and Drake all earned top ten finishes.

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, followed by an outstanding dressage career with 71 wins and placings in international tests at the Intermédiare, 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.

In 2014 Feiner Prinz was also approved for Oldenburg NA/ISR with a total of 230 points.

Feiner Prinz at three years old

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 successful show jumper 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.

Photo: Margaret MacGregor

A finalist at the foal championships at Tarmstedt, He 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 demonstrates a solid work ethic. He has always been described as a “gentleman” and very easy to handle.

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

Horalas was imported to the United States by Diane and Jim Rushing, and was heavily competed 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.

Premium Stallion Davidas, Best Jumper, Neumünster 2014 Photo: Margaret MacGregor

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

Horalas joins a very select group of stallions not born in Germany 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. This is clearly evident in his son Davidas, the first USA born and bred stallion to successfully go through Trakehner Verband’s central grading. Davidas was awarded a Premium, and an award for the Best Jumper of the Neumünster 2014 Körung.

LioCalyon, son of Liostro, is beautiful, athletic and well mannered. This athletic ability and big heart have led him to the winners circle many times. LioCalyon’s sire, Liostro, is the last approved son of Ladykiller. Liostro was the leading producer of money winners in the US in 2002. LioCalyon is related to Sapphire, Mark Watring’s Pan American Games Gold Medal Horse.

On his dam’s side, Calypso II’s progeny show not only great jumping form, but wonderful rideability. Calypso II’s 18 stallion sons include Contendor, Coriolan, Colani and Chassur I and II, to name a few. His great grandsire is Cor de la Bryere whose incredible bascule and jumping ability is credited with improving the Holsteiner jumping style. “Corde” passes along strong nerves, intelligence and great willingness to perform. He established many sibling dynasties, Calypso I-V, Corrado I and II, and Colleto I-III.

Possessing a pedigree that reads like the “Who’s Who in Sport Horse Breeding”, Mannhattan is the culmination of some of the very best in warmblood breeding.

With such renowned sires as Furioso II, Wendekreis, Vollkorn, Absatz, Hill Hawk, and Ferdinand in his pedigree, he was bred to excel in the performance arena.

Mannhattan earned respectable 100 day test scores including a 9 for general jumping ability, free jumping, canter and the cross country portion of the testing, and 8s for his character and jumping under saddle. He finished by winning the jumping portion of the testing with a score of 128.53, and an overall score of 102.29 points.

Morocco (Mannhattan x Pink Agate xx)

Mannhattan produced the highest number of site champions with the ISR/Oldenburg N.A. for 2009 and 2010. He is well known for producing athletic, competitive and talented offspring with amateur friendly minds. He has offspring that have competed successfully in all disciplines, including the fully licensed son, Morocco (Mannhattan x Pink Agate XX), as well as two offspring currently competing at FEI level in Dressage - Maude RF and Megabucks.

Our Mannhattan daughters have proven him to be an exceptional broodmare sire. We currently have three fully licensed sons out of Mannhattan daughters - Edward Scissorhands (Escudo II x Morticia/Mannhattan), Dracula d’Avalon (Davidor x Morticia/Mannhattan) and Belafonte d’Avalon (Hilkens Black Delight x Mata Hari/Mannhattan).

Mannhattan went on to compete successfully through Level 8 in the Jumpers before a pasture accident finished his performance career. He is also one of a handful of domestically born and bred warmblood stallions to produce a fully licensed son— Morocco—who was licensed through performance in Grand Prix Dressage competition. In 2013, Finesse Mannhattan had no fewer than three offspring competing Mannhattan at FEI level in Dressage!

• 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.

Radco then went on to Double H Farm under rider Quentin Judge. This duo earned several top placing at the Grand Prix level including a 6th place in the $75,000 Pennfield CSI2* at WEF in 2011.

Cardo Hesa du Grand Champs

Radco’s Dam, L’atome, descends from some of the most famous Holsteiner bloodlines which include the great Landgraf I. This Rhinelander mare is the daughter of the Holsteiner stallion Larome from stamm 1811. This son of Landgraf I who was licensed Rheinland, KWPN, Oldenburg and more is seen in the pedigrees of many top jumping horses today.

HH Radco has produced over 200 foals including the 2010 three year old SBS Champion in Europe. He is an excellent choice for breeders looking to improve a mare’s temperament and scope.

Sam Steele: 1995 Black (16.3-hand) stallion. AHS Approved.

By Sherlock Holmes (Salvano-Eklatant-Akzent I). Sam Steele placed second in his Performance Test out of 43 stallions, earning the high scores of 141.14 for rideability and 139.76 for Jumping. His dam, SPS Eskalade, has produced three Licensed Stallions as well as top hunters. His sire, Sherlock Holmes, produced eight licensed stallions and 40 State Premium Mares.

Sherlock Holmes’ offspring, like himself, are multi-talented as hunters, jumpers and dressage horses, and produce impressive offspring with extravagant movement.

Sam Steele inherited these wonderful traits and passes them on to his offspring. The exclusive bloodlines originated in Germany, where they were fine-tuned with excellent results. The offspring of Sam Steele have proven to be top performance horses which demonstrate their elite champion qualities early on, as foals at their inspections.

Sam Steele’s daughters include top-scoring “Young North American-bred Mares”.

Sam Steele was recently purchased by Ryan Pedigo and Ron Kennedy of Kennedy-Pedigo Farms in Chino Hills, California, where he is currently standing. In addition to being a top breeding stallion, Sam Steele has proven to produce many decorated mares, such as EM Samantha (owned

by Ryan Pedigo and Ron Kennedy), EM Spice, EM Scarlett, and EM Symphony. Many of their foals have been champion at their foal inspections, and have matured into top hunters, jumpers and dressage horses competing successfully at top levels.

Shine is the ultimate combination of temperament, conformation, ability and beauty. He has had, and is still having, a long and successful career. He was imported in 2000 from Germany where he competed in dressage. Upon entering the U.S. he was introduced to the Hunter ring where he excelled. He won many national, regional and state championships in the Green Hunters and then moved on to the Amateur Owner Hunters where he continued his winning ways. After being purchased in 2006 by Olde Oaks Farm, he stepped down to the Adult Amateur Hunters with owner Victoria Hunton, where they were a pair to be reckoned with.

In 2007 and 2009 they were Reserve Champion in the Texas H/J Assoc. and in 2009 Reserve Champion in Zone 7 as well.

Shimmy Shine, 2009 gelding as yearling

In 2010 he did Hunter Derbies exclusively with trainer Liza Richardson of Hunter’s Run Farms. To date, he has won the Estes Park Hunter Derby, was 6th in the Texas Shoot Out USHJA Hunter Derby and 5th in the Texas Sporthorse Cup USHJA Hunter Derby. He has been successful without jumping a single high option in the USHJA Derbies. As a team we decided that after being in the Adult Amateurs at 3’ for 4 years he deserved not to have to do any high options. He has nothing left to prove!

At the age of 17 he is still 100% sound of mind and body.

Photo: Victoria Hunton

In 2011 he won and placed in many USHJA International Hunter Derbies and National Hunter Derbies. He was invited to show in the USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals in Kentucky where he was spectacular.

In 2012 he also won and placed in many USHJA International Hunter Derbies. His achievements in the USHJA National Hunter Derbies earned him Seventh place Nationally. He also competed at the USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals.

Not a bad year for a 19 year old.

On March 28, 2013 (his 20th birthday), at the Pin Oak Charity Horse Show, he was officially retired from showing. He is still sound of mind and body, Shine (Alesi) and we want him to stay that way for many more years to come!

As a 5-year old, he won the prestigious YJC Eastern League Finals and as a 6-year old he finished 6th in the Championships. Talisman competed through 1.40m at top competition venues including Wellington, Kentucky, and the Hamptons.

Talisman’s success is backed by a strong pedigree that foretold his jumping ability. Sire Toulon was a top-level international show jumper under Hubert Bourdy. He has over 20 approved sons and many offspring competing internationally. In 2013, Toulon was ranked 34th on the WBFSH Sire Rankings and at the 2014 World Equestrian Games there were 4 Toulon offspring competing. Grandsire Heartbreaker was also successful internationally with top placings at shows such as Falterbo, London, and Aachen.

From his dam, the influential stallions Alexis Z, Alme, and Pilot are added to Talisman’s genetics. Alexis Z earned 15 wins at S-level, sired 20 licensed stallions, and his offspring have won over 1.3 million euro in sport. Alme’s influence is still strongly felt in both sport and breeding.

Talisman was approved with RPSI, ISR/OldenburgNA, and sBs late in the summer of 2014. His early foal crops show his strong influence on type. With his move to Hilltop Farm, we’re looking forward to expanding Talisman’s availability for hunter, jumper, and eventing breeders in the coming years.

In 2014, Uno Don Diego won four Prix St. Georges and Intermediaire I classes with scores as high as 73% at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival. He has three quality gaits and an excellent temperament and work ethic.

Uno, as he’s known at the barn, was bred by the legendary Stutteri Uno in Denmark. He was licensed as a premium stallion in 2006 by the Danish Warmblood Society. In 2009, he represented Denmark in the Six-Year-Old Final at the World Young Horse Championships in Verden. Before leaving for the States he competed at advanced level in dressage in Denmark.

Uno Don Diego’s sire is Dressage Royal, whose bloodlines include the prolific Donnerhall x Rubinstein I cross. However, it is Diego’s dam that became a legend in her own time, producing two licensed sons, Diego and Uno Don Diablo, as well as the remarkable Uno Donna Unique, World Young Horse Champion.

Juno Don Diego ISF Photo: Stacy Lynne Photos

Uno’s own offspring have also received accolades. ERA Dancing Hit, the 2011 Danish Licensing Champion, was considered a rising star.

Uno passed his 35-day performance test with a total dressage score of 866 and jumping total of 709. At his final grading in 2007 he was awarded a breeder’s silver medal and the Challenge Cup of Aage Ravn for being the best 4-year-old Danish-bred dressage breedsire.

Bloodlines: Dressage Royal is an example of the superior Donnerhall and Rubinstein I cross. With excellent conformation and quality character, Dressage Royal received an 8.2 in rideability at his stallion testing and continued through the Grand Prix level.

Donnerhall, a legend as both a performance horse and sire, earned team gold medals at the 1994 and 1998 World Championships, as well as the 1997 European Championships. He is also the sire of numerous stars, including Don Schufro, De Niro, Don Frederico and Donnerschlag.

Rubinstein I had 40 wins at Grand Prix level.

He’s the sire of 66 Approved Stallions.

Registered as Vallado, but shown for most of his career under the name Praise, this beautiful stallion embodies the modern hunter type and style. In the High Performance Hunter division Praise racked up wins at shows such as Lexington, Devon, and Wellington. Praise excelled as an International Derby horse and with 28 International Hunter Derby competitions in his career, still ranks 16th on the Lifetime Earnings for money won.

As a young stallion he was champion of his 30-day Performance Test and earned scores of 9.25 for character and rideability. He completed his stallion licensing requirements by qualifying for the 6-year old Young Jumper Championships and competed up to 1.40m.

Silver Creek’s Validation

Vallado’s sire is the Voltaire son Now or Never M. Now or Never M has many approved sons to his credit and is well on his way to establishing his own line in Hanoverian breeding. Vallado’s dam was sired by the improvement Thoroughbred sire Saros. The infusion of Thoroughbred blood is essential in warmblood breeding and this particular line has had an excellent influence which we also see through the Trakehner stallion Consul.

Vallado is producing elegant, modern offspring with great athletic ability and sensitive, ridable minds. The colt Silver Creek’s Victorious was Champion jumper bred colt for the Oldenburg Verband’s North American tour in 2011. Approved son, Silver Creek’s Validation, was Champion of his 70-day Stallion Test with an impressive score of 135 points overall. He has been exported to Germany and won the Consolation Finals at the 2013 FEI World Championships for Young Horses. He is currently competing at 1.40m. In the hunter ring, Vindaloo and Silver Creek’s Vanity are showing the winning style that made their sire such a success.

Vuvuzela Z (Vagabond de la Pomme x Casantos) is a modern, athletic stallion. He was recently approved by BWP head stallion 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 triumphant 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 future. Vagabond, in addition to Vuvuzela, sired one of the champion 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. 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 Contender, 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.

Breed for rideability! Figaro R, by Friendship (by Florestan), out of Florida, by Feiner Stern-Werther-Grunewald, was Premium stallion at the Hanoverian Licensing in Verden 2003.

He was sold to Sweden and was Champion of the 2005 Swedish Warmblood Stallion Test with the highest dressage index (22.0 points) ever achieved with perfect scores of 10 for rideability from two German test riders, Hella Kuntz and Heiner Sudowe, whose comments were: “Gives a very good feeling in all three gaits. Very attentive to the aids and perfect contact with the mouth. Nice horse to train!” and “Very good to ride, well trained horse. Three good and easy gaits. Good increases where the horse will go forward from behind.” Figaro had placings in Prix St. Georges before an injury discontinued his show career.

Figaro has been a successful breeding stallion with over 400 offspring in Sweden, including two finalists in the World Breeding Championships for Young Horses in Verden. He has an approved stallion son and grandson in Sweden. Figaro’s breeding value for dressage in the Swedish BLUP system is well above average, 129 in 2014 (the mean is 100, standard deviation is 20). He is now eligible to be awarded “Premium A” status as a breeding stallion by the Swedish Warmblood Association indicating his heritability for dressage talent is clearly above average!

Ehrentanz KD is a young Trakehner stallion who shows incredible aptitude for Jumping - tremendous scope, athletic ability, and technique. Ehrentanz has a bright competition future in any of the Olympic disciplines including dressage, jumping and eventing.

Ehrentanz was imported from Germany as a yearling; sired by E.H. Hirtentanz *E* while his dam is Eiszeit by E.H. Buddenbrock. He is the first Hirtentanz son approved in North America.

Ehrentanz KD

Name: Ehrentanz KD Breed: Trakehner Height: 16.3 hh Date & Place of Birth: 5/18/2009, Germany Breeder: Rita Berger Breed Approval(s): ATA Trakehner Stallion #: OSB-E-S433 Stud Fee: $1000 Booking Fee: n/a Shipped Semen: Yes Frozen Semen: Yes Live Cover: No

The inspection committee commented, “A majestic 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 successfully competing at the “S” level in jumpers. He already has several approved sons from different warmblood breeds in Europe and also Model mare daughters in the US. Ehrentanz’s damsire, Buddenbrock, 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.

From his first foal crop in 2014, every one of Ehrentanz’s five evaluated foals was awarded Premium status. These Premium awards were done at various inspections and by various judges.

Besides being attractive and athletic Ehrentanz’s offspring show great playful character and an easy disposition. With so much potential at such a young age one of his foals has sold for 15K at public auction.

Ehrentanz has proven to be fertile stallion with a high percentage of mares in foal with fresh shipped semen.

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, followed by an outstanding dressage career with 71 wins and placings in international tests at the Intermédiare, 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.

In 2014 Feiner Prinz was also approved for Oldenburg NA/ISR with a total of 230 points.

Feiner Prinz at three years old

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 successful show jumper 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.

Photo: Margaret MacGregor

A finalist at the foal championships at Tarmstedt, He 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 demonstrates a solid work ethic. He has always been described as a “gentleman” and very easy to handle.

He has continued his success since being imported to the United States with multiple wins and placings through 2014 at the Intermediate level. His riders have consistently praised him in his balance and athleticism, but have said his rideability is what makes him truly exceptional.

Halimey is a Premium Stallion and Champion of his German 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.

Photo: Jutta Bauernschmitt

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 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, in particular, 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.

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

Horalas was imported to the United States by Diane and Jim Rushing, and was heavily competed 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.

Premium Stallion Davidas, Best Jumper, Neumünster 2014 Photo: Margaret MacGregor

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

Horalas joins a very select group of stallions not born in Germany 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. This is clearly evident in his son Davidas, the first USA born and bred stallion to successfully go through Trakehner Verband’s central grading. Davidas was awarded a Premium, and an award for the Best Jumper of the Neumünster 2014 Körung.

His dam: Pr St. Indira XV, won Ch Mare of 2000 in Graditz, an international mare show held every 7 years. This dam line produced the dressage phenomenon Imperio, also the Premium Interconti, Induc and Inster Graditz, and the FEI dressage horses Ira, Itax and Radom. Inamorato boasts lineage of CCI***Fontainbleau, EH Sixtus, Habicht, Diamant, Rockefeller, Mahagoni and Consul. Inamorato has a pedigree that overflows with breeding and performance success.

Foaled in Denmark, approved Neumünster, Germany, owned by a German/Canadian US citizen, ridden by a Ukrainian, trained by a German, RPSI, Marseille is an International Ambassador.

Marseille, a large framed impressive stallion, his conformation a harmonious profile in carriage, enormous elasticity, correct, showing amplitude and balance, possessing remarkable ground covering walk and uphill canter.

Not only was Dressage laid in his cradle but his jump also convinces breeders through phenomenal technique. Breed Director Lars Gehrmanns’ describes: “Impressive, harmonious, well balanced significant towards his total grading as a breeding stallion.”

Azulon, by Marseille Photo: Lisa Kern

Sire, Prince Patmos was highest priced and Reserve Champion at Neumünster 2008, granddam was one of the last Donauwind Daughters. EH Gribaldi “King of Trakehners,” the all time leader in Dressage Breeding WBFSH is his Dams’ Grandsire.

Standing at Langestüt Zweibrücken, ridden by Nataliya Cherevishnya, trained with Dorothee Schneider (German Olympic Dressage Silver), he achieved Ch. Riding Horse at 3, leading into the highest score of any Trakehner Stallion 30 day tested in Germany for 2013, scoring 10’s. 2014 brought Regional Ch. Dressage A with an 8.2 out of 20 entries, followed by Trakehner Bundesturnier selection to the Ch. Riding Horse Finale completing 3rd.

His success for such a young breeding stallion illicit pride, cautiously developing his talent in an age appropriate manner.

2015 brings qualification for the Bundeschampionat and/or 70 Day Test-Marbach.

His Foals are long-legged, elegant, with strong correct gaits, sweet temperaments and Champions as well. His Marseille “rebreed” rate is almost 100%, 2015 breedings more than doubled.

Marseille is quality, produces quality - your true sport horse sire.

Trakehner Rusticus

Photo: www.sportfotos-lafrentz.de

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 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, far from being an “outlier”, has generations of jumping lines to backup 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 amount of Thoroughbred lineage, and 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.

Bred by Gestuet Haemelschenburg in Emmerthal, Germany and owned by Gustav Schickedanz, the dark bay, by Summertime 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 qualified for the eventing National Young Horse Championships in both 2009 and 2010, winning the 2010 national champion Six Year Old Eventing Horse (Bundeschampion). Andreas Dibowski’s student, Franziska Haunhorst won the CIC* at Bad Harzburg in 2010 on Songline, 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 and won or placed highly at four FEI horse trials, including a 3rd at the CIC*** at Arville. Songline has already 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 is and produces conformational correctness, which is an essential building block in breeding sporthorse and he has phenomenal quality of gaits, in the opinions of many Koerung inspectors and competition judges. Since coming to the U.S., Songline has continued his incredible record by placing first or second at all of his competitions.

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 at PSG Dressage. His offspring are competing successfully in-hand, in dressage and in eventing with a few 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 semen with a live foal guarantee (his frozen conception statistics are excellent).

Performance matters. Tatendrang *Pb* is actively competing with Andrew at the FEI level in eventing. Continuing his performance career, “Tate” had a great 2014!

Winner of the ATA’s 2013 Cäsar Memorial Cup, for the ATA approved Trakehner stallion with the year’s highest score in Eventing, Tate started 2014 off convincingly, by winning the Red Hills International CIC*, leading from the first and finishing on his dressage score of 36.2, the best dressage score of all divisions.

He moved on to take 3rd place in his first CIC** at Chattahoochee Hills and completed his first CCI** on the grueling Bromont course in Canada, where he was 5th after dressage in a field of 24. In the autumn, rider and horse were declared to be “brilliant” by George Morris in a clinic shortly before they completed the Fair Hill CCI** that opened with 114 competitors at that level and, with a dressage score of 31.90, he wrapped up the year in the Open Intermediate division at the Poplar Place Horse Trials in November, winning it by 16 pts!

Tate passes on not only his appearance, spectacular movement and remarkably kind temperament, but his drive to succeed.

His first foal crop turned four in 2014; two of those horses are competing under saddle with amateur owners, one of them placing 2nd and finishing on his dressage score (in eventing) at only his second outing. The 2012 colt Prophet of Love was the 2-year-old Champion with a 79.4% at the Ocala Future Event Horse competition and was the ATA’s Horse of the Year Champion in Dressage Breeding as a yearling.

ontefino earned the highest scores at the Holsteiner Stallion Approvals of any stallion in the United States.

However an injury has forced his early retirement from the show ring in Europe and now Contefino is back in the States to pass on his legendary jumping ability. He has already proven himself as a phenomenal sire, having produced many top horses and three approved stallions with a relatively small number of offspring.
