Exciting Times for North American Breeders!

What an exciting issue of Warmblood Stallions of North America this has been to create! First of all, it’s not often that we are invited to a ground-breaking meeting that could have profound effects on breeders. Because this magazine only comes out once a year, that almost never happens! In order to accept, I chose to delay our publication deadline for just a few days so that I could attend the meeting of Breeders and Registries at the USEF annual meeting— and it was so worth the trip. To watch breed registries, leadership and representatives of USEF and affiliates, individual breeders and others get together and commit to communication and coordination of future plans was tremendous. Read Summer Stoffel’s article on page 30 about how USHJA and USEF are making positive horse ID a reality, and about some of the plans in the works to bridge the gap between breeders and sport. My sidebar on page 33 describes this meeting and what it could mean for breeders.

Secondly, we have a wonderful selections to offer you for 2016! As always, there is a range of stallions in these pages, from unproven to international competitors. Some will be familiar to my readers, and there’s an exciting mix of stallions new to our pages. Don’t miss the many stallions standing in Canada; US breeders can take advantage of the current exchange rate to get a great deal!

Warmblood Stallions of North America is proud to be once again the official stallion magazine of the American Trakehner Association, and we offer a special ATA section, with stallions and also Association news—all starting on page 98. We are also the official magazine for the Swedish Warmblood Association of North America—look for Swedish stallions in the Main section of Stallion Profiles.

Happy Stallion Shopping!

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.

The North Am

Building the Pipelin The strong winds of change are blowing. In this new age of technology and social media, the world is becoming more connected and so is the sport horse industry. In the past, geographical distances and a fragmented system stood in the way of bridging the gap between breeding and sport in North America. But, as in so many other industries, inspiration and ingenuity have sparked the dawn of an innovative new era. We are taking giant steps on a road leading to synergy between North American breed organizations and sports federations as we work jointly to produce a solid pipeline of horses for every level of rider and sport. It is no longer a dream. It is a reality and the effort is already underway in several major areas.

Positive Horse Identification One of the most crucial elements in production of sport horses is positive identification. This is important on multiple levels.

First, in order for a breeder to track the success of their breeding program and analyze needed changes, horses must be positively identified to track their success in sport and breeding. Without this, breeders are forced to make decisions blindly or according to inaccurate data. Secondly, breed organizations rely on horse identification to create breeding standards and assess quality.

Being able to track the success of progeny in sport and breeding helps these organizations dictate which characteristics, types, and bloodlines are relevant in modern day sport. The ability to make these crucial breeding standard decisions leads to a higher percentage of successful horses in sport. Being able to track these horses through their sport careers adds proof to the success of the breeding philosophy. Therefore, when a breed organization acquires a reputation for producing high quality sport horses, it encourages breeders to increase production. Thus, growth in the industry is sparked both for breeder and for breed organization.

Lastly, having complete and accurate data on horses provided through positive identification aids competition federations in creating platforms to develop horses for sport and create a successful pipeline for the future. This pipeline is the vital lifeblood of any competition federation and the foundation upon which future riders will depend.

With that in mind, the USHJA pioneered a groundbreaking rule change that will pave the way for horses bred and born in North America to be positively identified, thus distinguishing them

30

Newly Enacted USHJA Rules

3.1 In addition to the provisions of HU 101.1, on or after December 1, 2017, all horses competing in classes that require USHJA horse registration must provide a microchip number that verifies their animal’s identity in order to compete for points, money won or be eligible for Federation and/ or USHJA programs and awards where horses are required to be recorded or registered.

3.2 A microchip used to verify identity must be a fifteen digit ISO compliant 11784/11785 chip and be implanted in the nuchal ligament of the animal.

3.3 For classes that require age verification, age can be verified only through the following identification documents: a. Registration papers or passport issued by a World Breed Federation Sport Horse (WBFSH) recognized registry. b. Registration papers or Certificate of Pedigree from a breed or sport horse registry.

3.4 This rule will have a transition period from December 1, 2017 to November 30, 2018. During this period, animals that are not in compliance with this rule will not receive points or be eligible for Federation and/or USHJA programs and awards. After this period, all horses that are competing in classes which require USHJA registration which are not microchipped will be ineligible to compete in Federation licensed competitions.

from their foreign counterparts and giving credit where credit is due. This rule change requires all horses participating in hunter, jumper, or equitation classes to be positively identified and microchipped beginning December 1, 2017. The proposed rule change went through a couple of modifications during the USHJA Annual Meeting, but was unanimously passed by the board at the end. After the USHJA Annual Meeting, it went up for approval at the USEF Annual Meeting in Lexington, Kentucky. There were two minor clarifications made: (1) microchipping is required for horses competing in hunter/jumper/equitation classes that require USHJA registration (because national breeds hold competitions with hunter/jumper/equitation classes that do not require USHJA registration) and (2) age verification can only be proven for age-verified classes through breed registry passport, paper, or certificate of pedigree. (See box for approved rule change.)

In doing so, it sets the stage for the USHJA to create transparency within the sport, create needed programs for young horse development, and support American breeders with the ability to track the success of their breeding programs. It also demonstrates USEF/USHJA’s desire to align interests with the warmblood registries and promote North American breeding.

In response to these rule changes, registries such as the AES and

erican Dream:

e for the Future

by Summer Stoffel RPSI have risen to the occasion to provide every horse, regardless of whether or not the pedigree can be tracked, with a UELN and a registration passport that links the UELN to a microchip number and DNA. Even though these are not officially approved for breeding within the registry, it provides a starting point for horses currently within the competition system to receive the necessary identification for sport. Registration with the AES is available online at www.aesna.horse and HID passports cost $99.

Please contact Ann with RPSI for more details regarding their HID passports at info@rhpsi.com. There is an option for every horse to be able to participate in sport. Further options with other registries will be presented in future educational articles.

Both sport federations and breed registries are working cohesively and intently to ensure a successful future for sport horse breeding and development in North America.

Connecting Young Horses and Developing Riders There were also many advances made during 2015 in the effort to connect owners, riders, and trainers to North American-bred young horses and breeders. Among these were the pilot USEF Developing Young Horse/Young Rider Clinic held at Spy Coast Farm, the Gladstone Clinic, and the Young Horse Series Finals in Tryon. However, it became evident through all of these endeavors that one vital piece to the puzzle was missing - a joint collaboration between the sport horse breed registries, the various disciplines, and USEF. In other countries, the close working relationship between breed organizations and sport federations has proved to create a successful united force in the production and development of horses for both national and international sport. Thus, in a groundbreaking effort to start building the new

North American pipeline, USEF and USHJA invited the various American sport horse registries to an initial meet and greet at the conclusion of the North American Stallion Testing in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 29th, 2015 to propose collaboration.

Multiple registries were able to attend and the atmosphere was invigorating. Topics such as positive horse identification, joint education opportunities, cooperation to identify prospects within North America, and data exchange were discussed. It was suggested that outreach and involvement should be inclusive, not exclusive, and true success would come with collaboration between USEF, USHJA, the other disciplines, and breed organizations. At the conclusion, all parties left excited and inspired about future joint endeavors. Mary Babick, Vice President of USHJA and one of the main driving forces behind this initiative, stated, “I recently became aware of the untapped resources of our American Breeders. I am very pleased to be a part of the process that will bring the US back to its roots.”

The next step was taken during the USEF Annual Meeting on January 13, 2016. Following the November meeting, USEF President Chrystine Tauber issued a personal invitation to over forty representatives of USEF, USHJA, USDF, USEA, WBFSH, and the sport horse breed organizations that register horses in the United States to reconvene during the USEF Annual Meeting and continue progress on the initiative of connecting the breeding and sport sectors. Over sixty individuals attended the meeting and it was an unprecedented success. [See sidebar, following page.] Topics discussed included positive horse identification

People • Timing • Attitude How USEF, discipline organizations, breed registries and breeders met to plan future connections between the breeding and sport sectors and create a breeder to competitor supply chain

The Breed Registry Joint Meeting, held recently at the 2016 USEF Annual Meeting, brought together all the elements that are necessary for positive change: the right people, the right timing, and the right attitude.

The “right people” are the ones with an interest in making the horse breeding industry stronger, smarter, and more profitable— starting with USEF President Chrystine Tauber, who issued special invitations, and spoke at the meeting. Mary Babick, the person who spearheaded the new USHJA rule change, was the primary presenter; and the competition side was represented among the presenters by DiAnn Langer, Developing Rider Chef d’Equipe. The meeting was chaired by Summer Stoffel, a warmblood breeder, and a key figure in the move toward positive horse ID and microchipping through her work on the USEF Horse ID Task Force and the USHJA Jumper Breeding Committee.

Attendees included both individuals and representatives of key groups, many of whom had never been in the same room together before this meeting. Several warmblood registries were represented, USEF and many of its discipline and national breed affiliates were there, as were several individual breeders. Some had been present at the initial meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, coordinated by Summer Stoffel and held in conjunction with the final days of the North American Stallion Testing; but this USEF meeting brought in new participants with a wide cross section of interests.

The right timing has a lot to do with the movement toward positive horse identification, which gained huge momentum in 2015 as different groups considered the advantages and analyzed the logistics of implementation. A system of assigning a life number to each horse, and tying it to microchips for all competition horses, is now possible, largely due to new data tracking options for horses. With these pieces in place, positive horse ID is on its way to becoming a reality. The potential benefits are huge: for horses, for fair competition, for data tracking that

will benefit everyone from breeders to USEF and our country’s status on the international stage.

The right attitude was perhaps the single most impressive aspect of this meeting. In one room were leaders and representatives from USEF, USHJA and other discipline affiliates, breed registries, national breeds, individual breeders and breeding farm representatives, breed show organizers, and other individuals—and the prevailing attitude was one of cooperation, with a respect that allowed open communication. USEF and affiliate leaders took a proactive role, and conveyed their commitment to initiating and supporting programs to recognize and benefit breeders.

They spoke. They expressed their recognition of the work breeders do; they acknowledged the need for supporting breeders in their quest to produce top-quality, competitive horses for US equestrian sport. They listened. Individuals and representatives spoke to the different challenges they face, and described their approaches, their programs, their solutions. Perspectives were shared; priorities were addressed.

The fundamental message is clear: the US does not have a systematic infrastructure to support the production of top-quality horses for US sport, and yet we hope to compete against nations that do. If we expect to compete on the world stage successfully, we need to produce our own top horses rather than looking to Europe. The European nations, after all, will hardly sell us their best competition horses! And we can produce top horses. The US has experienced and successful warmblood and sport horse breeders; the US has produced top-quality foals and top-level competition horses. What it doesn’t have are the coordinated programs that will systematically provide education, identify promising foals, and provide the necessary pieces that make up a pipeline between breeders and competitors. The results of this meeting were the identification of specific missing pieces, and possible solutions. Watch for tangible benefits to US breeders as this work is carried forward.

Continued from page 32 Lisa Lourie was one of several speakers at the 2016 USEF meeting (see page 33) who provided different perspectives and experiences that will ultimately inform the direction new programs might take. As someone who wears multiple hats (breeder, owner of Spy Coast Farm, business partner in horse shows, supporter of the Young Horse Shows, and a member of multiple breed registries), Lisa spoke on several issues: her concern that the US maintain its place on the world stage, a need for fair and affordable shows for young horses, the lack of availability of young horse trainers. Other speakers included representatives of several breed registries, both warmblood and national breeds; representatives of discipline affiliates; and individual breeders.

The tide has turned and together we can bridge the gap between breeding and sport to build an amazing pipeline of North American sport horses for the future. The time is now.

between both breed organizations and sport federations in order to accurately connect the dots of a horse’s life, development of a young horse trainer education system, affordable young horse competition platforms, and data exchange. Together, the development of these areas will create a solid network of support for breeders and young horses and make North America an internationally respected producer of sport horses.

Turning Dreams into Reality Of course, many of these subjects have been brought up before.

However, this is the first time the connection to sport horse breeding in North America is being made at the top of the Federation/Affiliate level. The sport sector here in the US is taking a serious look at the tangible steps they can take to support the growth of the sport horse industry within our borders. Look for visible results of this effort in 2016 between these two groups that will include, but are not limited to: ✦ Continued efforts to improve positive horse identification across organizations

or de la Bryère

Cor de la Bryère is the stallion that revolutionized jumping horse breeding. His name is the one astute breeders like to see, especially on the mare line, for “Corde” tends to give great form over a jump. He stood at Siethwende from 1971 to 1984, Zangersheide 1985, Elmshorn 1986 to 1988, Sollwittfeld from 1989 until his death in 2000.

His sire, the French Thoroughbred Rantzau, was bred to be a jumper, being a descendant of the enormously influential Bay Ronald. Rantzau was by Foxlight by Foxhunter by Foxlaw by Son-In-Law by Dark Ronald by Bay Ronald.

Rantzau, sire of Cor de la Bryère. Above, Rantzau during his racing career.

Left, close to the end of his career at St Lô stud.

A serious racehorse, Rantzau was the third-ranked three-yearold of his year—in nine races between 2000 and 3000 metres, he won two and was placed five times. Purchased by the National Stud, he arrived at the stallion depot of Saint-Lô on January 5th, 1951. Of Rantzau, the stud inspector noted: “good front extension, remarkably built through the shoulder and fore-arm, long haunches, this classy stallion of rare nobility, also has low-placed joints and covers ground.”

As late as 1976, when he had been dead for five years, Rantzau was still 3rd on the jumping sires rankings; by 1980 he had moved into 4th place. He remained for many years one of the leading sires of broodmares. Rantzau produced 26 licensed sons who in turn produced 17 sires.

On the dam side, Cor de la Bryère was royally bred, out of Quenotte B, by Lurioso, a son of the most influential Precipitation son, Furioso. In French jumping circles, Furioso had been a sensation, siring the 1964 Olympic gold medalist, Lutteur B and the world showjumping champion of 1968, Pomone B. Lurioso was himself a sire of international showjumpers.

Cor de la Bryère’s grandam just escaped a trip to the abattoirs.

She was one of a group of mares whose owner died with no heir.

The neighbours took care of getting rid of the breeding stock with most of them going to slaughter. Pascal Renauldon, in his article, “Cor de la Bryère, A Gift From Heaven” (Z Magazine, February 1998), tells the story: “Two mares escaped premature death. One was called Hirondelle du Bois Margot; we find her name in the pedigree of Pomone B, Allegro (another fine international showjumper), Fair Play III and therefore in Narcos II and all his offspring! The other was called Vestale du Bois Margot and was sold to a certain Mr Lenoir in the province of Sarthe. A lucky man, as she would be the grandam of Cor de la Bryère. Vestale enriched the world with a great number of foals whose offspring would prove themselves in the sport. ... A remarkable female line. Quenotte (by Lurioso) was born in 1960 and Cor de la Bryère was her first foal.”

Xaiver Ribard was one of the first French breeders to stand a

Cor de la Bryère continued private stallion in competition to the state stud department. He stood at his Normandy stud the Furioso II son, Brilloso, who was the sire of a number of competitors and stallions, including Livarot, sire of Souviens Toi III. “Ribard bought colts to rear these up as breeding stallions. One day he saw a tiny bay, which he bought straight away. ‘I liked his conformation and breeding, it was a great colt.’ Ribard recognized a future stallion, even though its high-blooded conformation did not fit in with the popular type at the time—a time when one believed that power was impossible without body.”

The local authorities did not like the colt, and in 1970, the selection committee of the Haras du Pin visited his owner, Xavier Ribard and suggested “that is not breeding stock; he’s too much of a sport horse. Better geld him; he’ll make a useful gelding.”

“Ribard was disappointed but the world did not stop turning.

Business continued and he leased, for example, his stallion Urioso to Alwin Schockemöhle. At that time, six years after the victory of Lutteur B at the Tokyo Olympics and four years after the victory of Pomone B at the Buenos Aires World Championship, breeding Europe was crazy about Furioso xx… Alwin, member of the Oldenburg studbook, had leased Urioso, but would present him for selection in Holstein. As he went to see some horses in Normandy he asked Maas J. Hell to come along. Ribard remembers the following: ‘They asked me if I could show them some other stallions. I had another four, which I showed them on the side of the road, as they were stabled 10 kilometres away. They immediately pointed at Cor de la Bryère and asked if he was for sale. Because I had just received the advice to have him gelded by the director of Haras, I sold him there and then. He left in February, together with Urioso.’

“For Bfrs 420,000 / NLG 23,000, the Germans bought a stallion that would, later in Holstein, grow into the stallion of the century. ...I must add that the horse did not show himself very well that time; it was January and he was not in great condition. He had no shine on his coat and wasn’t shod. I was offered the chance to let him go and I had been deeply disappointed by the view of the director of Haras barely ten days before. I was on the point of having him gelded.

Although he had a distinct stallion behaviour, he was very well-mannered. A horse like that is more easy to sell nowadays.”

When Cor de la Bryère arrived, the breeders were suspicious at first. Germany was not really waiting for what, apparently, was not wanted in France. But Hell trusted his gut feeling that told him “this is it,” this stallion will upgrade our slightly heavy native stock, a population in which power, carefulness and bascule are already firmly rooted, but in which this stallion could improve technique.

“But then, at the end of the winter 1971, Maas Hell insulted a Holsteiner studbook delegation who refused to buy the rough colt. The stallion had been rejected by the French and this did not inspire the committee with much confidence. At his wits’ end, Hell offered to keep the stallion for his own account and sell him to them after, when he passed his stallion test. That argument fell

on willing ears, and a couple of days later the gentlemen agreed. When the colt arrived at Elmshorn, however, they had not exactly laid out the red carpet for him. He was nevertheless stationed at Siethwende. Gradually the suspicion of the breeders disappeared: they had given him no less than 70 mares to serve in his first season. Silver at the Europeans in 2009 for Corradina In that same year Cor de la Bryère had to do his performance test. There he showed that he had all the qualities that are desirable in a good sire—in an era in which the sport was not a selection criterion. The breeders watching the performance of the stallions saw an “eager worker with a lot of energy and a golden temperament. An Casall and Rolf-Goran Bengtsson, 5th at the Worlds intelligent and alert horse that displays above average jumping potential besides; technique and manner were perfect, he completes the jump well, had a fast foreleg and an excellent use of the back,” according to the committee report.

Cor de la Bryère was on his way to being one of the greatest stallions of all times, and he was not only a sire himself, but a sire of sires.

The full brothers Caletto I, II were stars, as were the quintet of brothers, Calypso I to V. In the jumping arena, his handsome grey son Corrado has been a star for Franke Sloothaak, while Cordalmé Z with Gilbert Böckmann has also been successful at international level. Both went on to become influential sires. Out of the 70 mares in his first season, Cor de la Bryère produced four colts that went on to be licensed. He was a stallion of great vigour, and as late as 1977 served a full book of 111 mares.

Although best known as a sire of jumping horses, Cor de la Bryère was also the sire of Corlandus, a World Cup Dressage Champion in 1989, and his sons Calypso I and Calypso II have proven useful sires of dressage horses. Former German Olympic team member Chacomo, ridden by Alexandra Simons de Ridder, was by Calypso I, as was Alexandra’s other FEI star, Champus.

In the WBFSH ratings for 1992/2001, Cor de la Bryère is ranked 18th with 28 points-earning progeny, but there are a staggering 20 own sons on the rankings: Calando I, II, IV; Caletto I, II; Calvados I, II; Calypso I, II, III; Cantares, Carneval, Carte d’Or, Casanova, Cavalier Royale, Cinzano, Constant, Contact, Corrado I, Cortez 679, Cosinus. There are also 12 grandsons of Cor de la Bryère in the standings—not to mention important stallions like Carthago and Burggraaf, who are out of Cor de la Bryère mares.

Here is Romedio Graf von Thun-Hohenstein in his book, The Holsteiner Horse, commenting on Cor de la Bryère’s form over a jump: “When the goal was to join the exciting powerful jumping ability of the Holsteiner with a sophisticated skill, combined with an ideal bascule, sooner or later a stallion such as Cor de la Bryère had to be selected. The arching back, like a taut band of steel combined with the super elastic end gives limitless, but always expedient, springing capability to the natural dynamics of each effort. Add to that ease of riding, marvelous disposition, and a floating, highly balanced canter. These qualities are absolutely to the benefit of young horses, who will no longer have to pay with premature breakdowns caused by jumping and showing solely with a raw, crude jumping talent.”

And perhaps it was a case of a stallion being in the right place at the right time. French equestrian journalist Bernard le Courtois is firmly convinced that, left in France, Cor de la Bryère would have simply confirmed the original assessment of the French selection committee.

According to Bernard: “Some stallions cross very well in a particular situation. For example, Cor de la Bryère. He was exceptional in the 70s in Holstein because he was a horse that was very quick with the front legs. He did not have the power on the back side, but he was a very electric horse, with the blood of the Thoroughbred, Rantzau, and mixed with the heavy Holsteiner mares, he was fantastic. But when we tried to breed Cor de la Bryère with the French mares, we had rabbits. Cor de la Bryère needed a very strong mare, and we didn’t have this kind of mare in France.”

In the French annual review, Monneron 2007-2008, Bernard

le Courtois has gone through the FEI list of the top 2515 best showjumpers to compile a stallion ranking of the top 75 stallions, based on CSI winners. He finds that, after Almé, Cor de la Bryère is the most influential sire. Corde himself still holds 51st place on the rankings with 6 CSI winners, and 14 of his sons make up 19% of the 75 best stallions in the world.

The most successful of these sons is Corrado I, who occupies 23rd spot with 11 winners, with four sons of Corrado also featuring in the top 75: Corofino is 30th with 10 representatives, Coriano 43rd with 7, Indorado 43rd with 7, and Clinton 64th with 5.

Cor de la Bryère’s influence is also transmitted via the full brothers Caletto I & II. Although Caletto II does not make the top 75, he is represented by his sons, Caretino (24th with 11 winners) and Calvaro (65th with 5). Caletto I himself, is in 65th place with 5 winners, and is represented by his son Cantus (30th with 10). Cantus is the sire of Calido I who is in 19th place with 12 winners.

Another Cor de la Bryère son, Calypso II is well represented on the top 75 through his son, Contender, sitting in 5th with 28 representatives.

At the 2014 WEG in Normandy, the stallion with the most representatives was the Cor de la Bryère great grandson, Cornet Obolensky who was represented by a total of seven representatives. In all the Cor de la Bryère line provided 24 of the contestants in Caen, the most successful of which were the great grandson, Casall (5th) and the great great grand son, Cornet d’Amour (6th). the influence of the French colt that no one wanted lives on and on and on…

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 where, 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. The judges loved his scope, style, and way of going and rewarded him with a a fantastic score of 88 in one class.

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! His older offspring are winning classes over fences at the young age of 4, and the younger foals are doing phenomenally in the Hunter Breeding Division. In 2015, The Amazing filly Tainted Love was USEF National Champion in Yearling Hunter Breeding, and Amazing finished the year as the third leading Hunter Sire in the country!!!

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.

Chicardo combines the extreme athleticism of his sire Clinton I with a gentle temperament for mare owners that want to breed and raise their foals at home. Chicardo was Champion of his Holsteiner licensing (AHHA 2007) earning 52 bonits and 9s in jumping and 8s for his gaits. Also Reserve Grand Champion of his 70-Day Stallion Performance Test (2011) where he received a rare perfect 10 for character and 9.5 for jumping.

He was Reserve Champion of the 2007 Young Jumper Championship Mid-West Finals and then competed at Grand Prix (1.40-1.50m+) in showjumping in California through 2013. A leading producer of all around sporthorses, Chicardo has over thirty-five (35) USEF competition-recorded offspring crossing all 4 USEF sanctioned disciplines as of October 2014. He has three approved stallion sons, two from the 2013 North American Stallion 70-Day test. Chicardo’s sire, Clinton I, was a top international jumper and ranked among the top WBF jumper sires of the world. Ramiro, Cor de la Bryère, Corrado and Capitol I appear prominently in Chicardo’s blood; he represents the top performance stamm 1298 – one of the best Holstein. Dam Mycarda also produced three licensed sons as testament to the quality of the “Lord” stamm. Chicardo stamps his foals with lovely heads, great movement, superior jumping technique and the desire to please their owners/riders. In statistics compiled by the AHHA evaluating Holsteiner stallion production quality, Chicardo leads the list with an astonishing 83% Premium foals (of 24 inspected), with average foal bonits of 8/8, leading both movement and conformation of all 58 qualifying Holsteiner stallions licensed in North America in 2010.

Cicera’s Icewater, by Corofino/Cor de la Bryère/Liguster from stamm 474a, is Hyperion’s newest addition.

This AHHA-, OL- and RPSI-approved stallion brings a new flavor to our roster as he appeals to not only show jumping breeders but also to the eventing breeders.

Icewater’s sire, Corofino, was widely known for his exceptional ability in sport but mostly in breeding. It began with his 100-Day Test in Germany, where he scored a very rare “10” for jumping. He went on to have a very successful sport career under rider Valério Sozzi, winning several Grand Prixs and competing in the World Cup Finals in Milan.

Icewater’s dam, Cicera, descends from one of the greatest stamm lines of the modern day, 474a, and is full sister to the great Cavalier Royal. This mother line has been proven time and time again by producing numerous international jumping horses. During her Mare Performance Test, Cicera received a 10 for jumping and a 10 for her ride-ability. She was awarded as a States Premium Mare during her test.

Cicera’s Icewater was approved in 2002, becoming one of the highest-scoring stallions ever approved in the 25-year history of the AHHA. He received 53 bonit points along with being crowned the National Conformation Champion. He has been highly successful as a breeding stallion in both show jumping and eventing.

During his career, Icewater competed with team O’Connor and was successful in winning a CCI* in Kentucky and other events, along with being ridden up to the Prix St. George level in dressage. He also qualified for and competed in the 5-year-old YJC Finals at the Hampton Classic.

His offspring have been exceptional over the years with many going on to have successful sport careers. Icewater is truly a stallion for sport breeding, but also produces top breeding mares. His offspring are well-tempered, athletic, big movers and scopey.

Contifax is a Contender son from the Ramiro line, combining two outstanding performance lines. Contifax demonstrated his value early in his career, with several first places in tests for young jumpers and continued to the World Cup level. This highly talented Holsteiner Contender son was called the best jumper stallion of his year after his approval.

The son of Calypso II, Contender was one of the most frequented studs of the Holsteiner Association. He completed his achievement test in Adelheidsdorf as the best of his age-group. At the 2006 Holsteiner approvals, Contender had five approved sons, confirming his exceptional position within the Holsteiner breeding program.

Ritual comes from the famous 776 mare line, to which Ramiro, a sire of the century, belongs. Ritual is one of the very few Hanoverian stallions ever licensed for breeding by the Holsteiner Verband. The worldwide dominance of this unique performance line 776 is further documented by numerous sires such as Acorado (State Stud Celle), Calvados I and II, Cortino I and II, Landos, Ramirado (Holsteiner), Captain Incipit, Lord Incipit (Bavaria), Highvalley, Larenco (NL), Lordanos, Rouletto (Oldenburg) and many others.

Since coming to Canada he has continued his winning ways in both the jumper and hunter rings. Contifax earned good ribbons in 6 of 6 Open Jumper classes at the 2014 Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. Contifax went on to win a Canadian Classic Hunter Derby with a score of 110 in 2014.

In 2015 Contifax has won multiple Derbies in the Canadian Hunter Derby Series, including the $15,000 RMSJ Hunter Derby. Contifax finished the 2015 Derby Season as both the Western and Canadian Hunter Derby Series regular season points Champion.

Coruscant was purchased at the 2013 Holsteiner Verband Annual Stallion Approval and Auction where he was awarded Reserve Champion. Coruscant stayed in Germany for 2014 and completed his 70-Day Stallion Test at the Holsteiner Verband.

He received high scores (9s) for rideability and temperament.

Judge’s comments from the Holsteiner Verband Stallion Approval: “An enormously nice type of Holsteiner stallion that increased his presence at every performance. The classical presence of this Connor son since his first selection has taken an incredibly positive development so the he presented himself as a perfect type. The correct conformation gives him a beautiful physical appearance. His movement shows the suppleness of his gaits and his good interior. The walk is exceptional, the trot and canter show great elasticity and the stallion shows a natural talent over the 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.”

Coruscant

Coruscant’s sire Connor is by the famed stallion Casall Ask out of the full sister to Corrado I (by Cor de la Bryère). Connor has jumped at 1.45m and has seven approved sons for the following Studbooks: Holsteiner Verband, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg Gov and Zangersheide.

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.

Hitchcock Van Overis is an athletic young stallion demonstrating top level scope, carefulness and rideability. As a 7-yr-old, Hitchcock made his FEI debut jumping and placing in the FEI 7- and 8-yr-old classes at the Dublin International horse show. 2015 marked Hitchcock’s first season in North America where he had good results at international venues such as Spruce Meadows and Thunderbird Show Park.

Sire, Darco, won many show jumping competitions including Belgian champion as a 5- & 6-yr-old. Darco was the winner of the Volvo World Cup in London in 1988 and in s’Hertogenbosch in 1989. He was 6th in the World Championships in Stockholm in 1990 and 7th place in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. His worldwide fame and international success with Ludo Philippaerts is today mirrored by his two-time Olympic Gold medal-winning daughter Sapphire and her rider McLain Ward. In 2011 Darco was the leading jumper sire in the world for the 5th consecutive year proving his consistency and heritability as a genetic mainstay in sport horse breeding worldwide.

Dam, Corrady Z comes from Holsteiner stamm 1072, sired by the foundation stallion Corrado I. Corrado I was licensed in 1988 where his jumping proved convincing in the stallion performance test where he received a 10.0 respectively for free jumping and jumping ability. In 1994 Corrado I and Franke Sloothaak won the World Cup qualifier in Dortmund and placed 3rd in the Aachen Nations Cup. In 1996, they won the Aarhus World Cup competition as well as the Grand Prixs in Neumünster and Kiel. Corrado passes on his tremendous jumping ability to his offspring and has a great number of show jumping offspring successful at international top level.

{

Hitchcock offers North American breeders consistent Darco and reliable genetics, an ideal phenotype, and top talent for sport.

This son of Liostro is beautiful, athletic and well-mannered. This athletic ability and big heart led him into the winner’s circle many times. LioCalyon retired in 2006 after a long and prolific career. He didn’t miss a show season in 10 years of competition.

He campaigned successfully at the 1.50m level in California, Oregon and Canada with Mandy Porter. LioCalyon was awarded in 2010 the USEF South Pacific award for leading U.S.-based sire of show jumpers.

LioCalyon has three approved sons: Lillix WT, approved AHHA, Oldenburg GOV, and RPSI; Leapfrog WT, approved Oldenburg GOV, and Peterbilt, approved BWP elite stallion.

Peterbilt was also the 2010 PCHA Horse of the year. LioCalyon has produced top mares; Dragonfly WT owned by Alexia Honneger was the top bred AHHA mare for 2014, and Exclusive WT scored 52 bonits at the 2015 AHHA inspections. His most known offspring is Dunstan Delphi out of the Thoroughbred mare Flower Power xx, who jumped at the 160m level with Katie McVean, placing 6th in the World Cup final at Leipzig in 2011 and jumping clear rounds at the 2010 WEG.

LioCalyon comes from the strong performance stamm 741. This stamm is known for the top producer Cardento (by Capitol I).

Cardento has proven himself a sire at the highest level winning a silver medal at the World and European Championships and the Olympics of Athens with Peter Eriksson.

His sire Liostro (by Ladykiller xx) produced four advanced level dressage horses in Germany and 17 offspring who jumped 1.40m or higher.

LioCalyon will be standing for the last time in 2016 as a fresh cooled stallion (quality is still excellent). He will be 24 next year and this stallion has done whatever has been asked of him. Truly the flagship stallion of Liostro Wild Turkey Farm, he is going to enjoy a true retirement, fresh grass, lots of LioCalyon love for all that he has given to the farm.

Messenger VF is the genetic combination of two successful competitors on the international show jumping scene.

Sire, Monte Bellini, won the second round of the 2012 FEI World Cup in s’Hertogenbosch under Philipp Weishaupt. The pair was later named to the German Olympic team, but could not attend the Games in London due to a minor ailment. Monte Bellini’s ground covering, uphill canter, powerful back, outstanding technique, and bascule brought him the title of Double Champion at two consecutive German Bundeschampionates where he earned record scores. Monte Bellini is just as successful in breeding as he was in sport with six licensed sons and several state premium mares. According to FN’s breeding value statistics he is ranked nationwide with 146 points as jumper sire and a dressage index of 108 points in the top group of sires. These positive outcomes are also accompanied by many Premium foals such as the top selling jumper foal at the Vechta Elite Auction.

Photo: Valleyfield Farm

Dam, Nec Plus Ultra, was an international competitor with many international placings in the 1.50m divisions. Her sire, Darco, most notably was the winner of the Volvo World Cup in London 1988 and in s’Hertogenbosch in 1989. He was 6th in the World Championships in Stockholm in 1990 and 7th place in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. In 2011 Darco was the leading jumper sire in the world for the 5th consecutive year proving his consistency and heritability as a sire.

Like his lineage dictates, Messenger VF exhibits impeccable technique, good bascule and limitless scope through the chute.

In terms of type, this expressive, modern young stallion is short coupled, displaying a well developed neck, good length of forearm and substance. Messenger maintains a kind demeanor and great willingness to work.

Messenger VF was licensed by the CWHBA as a two year old in 2015.

“ Mylord Carthago is the horse of a lifetime” —Pénélope Leprévost After he retired in 2014, Mylord Carthago quickly became the second Best Sire of French young horses in France just behind Diamant de Semilly whose semen is also available at New Normandy Farm.

Mylord was finalist at the Lanaken World Young Horse Championship at 4YO, 5YO and 6YO and finished 4th at 7YO. He won many prestigious competitions with Pénélope Leprévost, including a team silver medal at the 2010 WEG in Lexington, KY and a team silver medal at the European Championships in 2011 in Madrid. He was a finalist at the 2004 FEI World Cup in Geneva and competed in the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Mylord Carthago

His sire is the impressive Carthago and his dame is the famous Fragrance de Chalus. Both competed at an international level and are known to have produced numerous international performers.

Mylord Carthago is a modern stallion with three outstanding gaits, lots of scope, respect and style over the fences. Mylord is a forward and generous horse. He has a very good mind combined with an excellent learning ability. During his competitive career, he never refused a jump, even when schooling.

Mylord Carthago

While Mylord is easy to breed and fits a wide range of mares, he pairs very well with medium sized compact mares that need improvement in scope and canter.

He consistently passes on his jumping technique, mild temperament, carefulness and good conformation.

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

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

Richebourg’s Dam, Opaline des Pains, is one of the best breeding mares in history, producing seven Olympic champions! They include Jus de Pomme, Shogun, Quintus and Tresor d’Opaline.

On the dam side we find the famous stallion Oberon Du Moulin, who had career winnings of over $180,000 and was a finalist at the Fontainebleau 4-, 5- & 6-Year-Old Championships. He placed in more than 20 national and international Grand Prix classes before he was retired to stud in 1996.

Obourg is a superb sport horse and a fantastic progenitor. His offspring are hugely successful on the international sport scene. His daughter Espyrante, formerly ridden by Aiken Sato and now by Daniel Deusser, was winner of the Horseware GP at WEF in 2013 and continues her international success all over the world. Another daughter, Hertogin Odeveld, was overall champion of the 3- to 6-year-old mares at the National BWP mare show in Belgium.

Prototype is an imported performance-proven hunter stallion.

He is brave and steady with a lovely rhythmical canter. He has a fabulous work ethic and is a pleasure to ride. He is shown successfully in the hunter rings both by professionals and amateurs. Prototype is a champion working hunter and will be shown at WEF in 2016.

Prototype has proven to be a very athletic and versatile horse.

He has been shown in the hunter derbies and has demonstrated his high performance skills by always jumping the high options (4’3”) and showcasing that he can navigate a challenging and spooky course while maintaining a consistent hunter way of going.

Prototype has given to his offspring hunter type, hack winning trot, beautiful canters and they show great jumping technique in the shoot with high, even knees and a correct bascule. He passes on his amateur-friendly and easy-going temperament. If you are looking to produce a good-looking and amateur-friendly hunter that will also be competitive in the professional divisions, Prototype is a good choice.

Premium and highest scoring colt, Powerplay

Prototype is by Palestro Van De Bejanakker, an international jumper by Quidam De Revel. Quidam de Revel was among the best performers of his generation and in 2004 topped the World Breeding Championships Jumping Stallion ratings for the second year running. Quidam’s preeminence as a sire was confirmed at the 2002 WEG in Jerez where he was the sire of more show jumping participants than any other stallion. At the London 2012 Olympics, there were 11 descendants of Quidam competing.

Prototype’s dam also competed in the international jumper ring.

She is by Corofino, one of the rare stallions to have received a score of 10 for his jump at the Holstein 100-Day Palestro Test. He was a finalist at four years old and a Van De

Prototype winner up to M class in Germany, before he was exported to Italy, where he had a brilliant international career.

Puccini is a beautiful liver chestnut stallion with three superb gaits and an incredible temperament and work ethic. Puccini has an impressive show record in the US and in Europe. Some of his career highlights include: • 6th place in the Pavo Cup as a 4 yr old • Champion 2005 4th Level Freestyle Great American/USDF Championships • 3rd Place 2005 4th Level Open CDS HOY • 3rd Place 2005 4th Level Freestyle CDS HOY • 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. Even with such an impressive show record, what stands out the most when meeting Puccini in person is his incredible temperament, which, along with his gaits and talent, he passes on to his foals.

Sadly, his competition career was cut short due to an unfortunate stabling accident, and it wasn’t until then that his breeding career started. With limited foals on the ground at this time, the oldest being born late in 2010, it is already clear that he is passing on his fabulous temperament as the majority of his foals have been raised and some even trained under saddle by their amateur owners. They are also following in his footsteps in the show arena. Finest Hour placed 3rd in the US for the 2012 KWPN USEF Year-End Award for 2-Year-Old Hunter Breeding, was 3rd with his AA owner at Training Level at the 2015 RAAC, and has scores through 70% throughout his limited time showing under saddle. Pull Up My Sock was the 2015 SWANA All Breeds DSHB Young horse Champion. She also placed 9th in the US for 2015 USDF Year-End Award in DSHB 3-Year-Old Fillies, was 3rd at the region 7 CDS/USDF Championships in the Great American/USDFBC Filly ChampionGribaldi ship, and was the 2015 CDS Annual Sporthorse Award Reserve Champion. Additionally, Puccini and his foals have been admired by many hunter trainers Puccini and breeders.

Salito is by the Hanoverian stallion Stakkato (by Spartan).

Stakkato produced 68 approved sons in Germany. Stakkato competed at 1.60 with Eva Bitter and has produced several 1.60 jumping horses, like Ukato with Willem Greve, Hunter’s Scendix with Eric Lamaze, Spartacus TN with Henk van de Pol and Filou de Muze with Philippe Le Jeune.

Salito’s dam is by Calido I. His great granddam Wilma (by Moltke I ) produced the 1.45m horse Carlsberg (by Capitol) ridden by Dirk Baudach. From this dam line the following international jumping horses were produced: Athena (by Ahorn Z) 1.45m with Tom Camerlynck, Escape (by Chin Chin) 1.55m with Perry Geryl, Udam (by Guidam) 1.60m with Jill Blunt, and Greece (by Carolus II) 1.40m with Rafael Amaral Rodrigues.

Until 2008, this magnificent son of Stakkato stood at the Landgestüt State Stud in Celle, Germany. Salito is the only son of Stakkato standing at stud in North America. Salito was approved in 2004. At Salito’s performance test at Adelheidsdorf in 2004 he was awarded first place in the jumping category out of 42 stallions in his year. Points given were 8 for character, 8 for willingness, 8 for conformation, 7 and 7.67 for rideability, 6 for trot, 7 and 6 for canter, 6 for walk, 9.17 for free jumping, 9.33 for jumping manner, 9 for jumping technique and 9 for cross country. Salito was the 2006 Hannoverian Jumping Champion in Dobrock and continued to impress with admirable results in both the 2006 and 2007 Bundeschampionat. This Hannoverian Jumping Champion of 2006 and winner of countless show jumping competitions in Germany stood at the Landgestüt State Stud in Celle. Salito competed to 1.45m with Kevin Martsch. German breeders were impressed by his offspring as winners of free-jumping championships and mare performance tests. So far his youngsters display his kind disposition and incredibly balanced movement.

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.

High Shine, 2012 mare. THJA Hunter Breeding Champion Yearling-3yo

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.

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, and we want him to stay that way for many more years to come!

Performance matters. Tatendrang *Pb* is competing at the FEI CCI** level with Andrew Palmer in Eventing. He is typically in the top half of any competition after dressage where he frequently earns 8s and 9s for his gaits. Due to his performance career, “Tate” is fully licensed/approved with the American Trakehner Association, Trakehner Verband, ISR/OLD NA, as well as Stud Book sBs Belgian Sport Horse.

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! 2015 was a year to focus on training, breedings, and approvals; however, he did come in 2nd in his only outing at Chatt Hills in July with a convincing double clear cross country.

Tate passes on not only his appearance, spectacular movement and remarkably kind temperament, but his drive to succeed. His oldest offspring turned 5 in 2015 and all have been remarkably easy to start under saddle and show Tate’s own fantastic work ethic. Tate is homozygous bay/black. His offspring are competing successfully in hunters, dressage, and of course eventing and are becoming sought after by several upper level riders.

Toronto, an Elite Stallion with the Hanoverian Verband, is a Dutch stallion acquired by the Celle State Stud to further the jumping talent of the breeding program. His performance test single score in jumping was 9.3. This powerful bay stallion descends from the jumping horse producer “Now or Never M,” who is stationed in Holland. Toronto’s grandsire is the prepotent Voltaire, a consistent sire of international jumpers with temperaments of gold. The damline is also very interesting - Toronto’s damsire is Belisar by Saros xx, who is a full brother to Swazi xx, the sire of the Trakehner stallion Consul.

The Now or Never M nick with Beilsar/Saros xx daughters has proven to be an undeniably successful cross producing the approved stallions Valentino, Winston Uccello, Alchimist and Vallado, in addition to Toronto.

Toronto gained the following scores at his performance test; character 8, temperament 8, willingness to perform 8, conformation 8, trot 6.33, canter 8 walk 7.67, natural jumping ability 9, free jumping 8.83, jumping manner 9, jumping technique 8.67, cross country 10. He won the jumping phase of the test which could be expected because of his outstanding pedigree. Among his offspring produced to date, he has one licensed son, 5 state premium mares, 15 auction horses.

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.

Photo: Mollie Bailey/The Chronicle of the Horse Photo

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

Photo: LL-foto.de

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, rideable 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, Flamboyant, Vindaloo, and Silver Creek’s Vanity are showing the winning style that made their sire such a success.

2015 ATA Wrap-Up

Annual Convention

by Helen Gibble, Becky Armstrong, Ann Cottongim People and horses make the ATA Annual Convention a success. Above: ribbons awarded to Northeast Trakehners. Clockwise from left: Cassio’s Picasso KD, newly approved stallion (photo by Allen MacMillan); Carol Poulin-Taylor, Karen Stopek, Becky Armstrong (ATA President), Laurie-An Lanpher, Mardie Hay, Ingrid Andrews (photo by Robin Koenig); Jean Brinkman (Valhalla Farm) receiving the Gerda Friedrichs Memorial Award from Awards Chair Erin Root (photo by Christina Potter).

The ATA had a very successful 2015 Convention, beginning with a two-day jumper clinic by famed Olympic eventer Jimmy Wofford that was very well received by the 17 riders who participated. Auditing was included in convention registration; Jimmy is famed for his “auditor friendly” clinics, so he had an appreciative audience. In the past few years, the ATA has been incorporating riding clinics for our members, featuring national clinicians such as Wofford, Hilda Gurney in 2012 and George Morris in 2014.

New at the meeting this year was the Mare Performance Test.* The companion article in this issue has details on the High Scoring Mares of the first two ATA MPTs. Five mares and one gelding were presented at the October testing and the membership found the evaluation process and verbal comments very educational. Horse owners are encouraged to take advantage of this program as the first step in demonstrating their horse’s performance capabilities, receiving objective feedback and recognition. The performance test examines and evaluates, insofar as is possible, a horse’s interior qualities of willingness to work, tractability and temperament as well as their basic paces, rideability (including the establishment of rhythm, suppleness and contact) and jumping aptitude. By combining the traditional conformation and at-liberty inspections with the under-saddle and free-jumping phases of this new program, it truly demonstrates that Trakehner horses have all-around sport horse aptitude, conformation and capability.

The owners of ten stallions applied for inspection at our annual meeting—the most in a decade! Two stallions—Cassio’s Picasso KD by E.H. Hirtentanz, out of Cassia-Pao by Almox Prints J, owned by Deanna Landwehr from Stratford, WI; and Tarkenton Q by Oskar II *Pg*, out of Tofu by Mendelssohn, owned by Joe Pimentel, Panama City, FL—joined the ranks of approved *To reflect that the test is open to all horses of all breeds, (except ATA stallion candidates), the new name of the program is Mare and Riding Horse Performance Test.

stallions. Another young stallion, Zaubermann by Tradition *Pb*, out of Pr. St. Zaubermaus by E.H. Tambour, owned by Carol Poulin-Taylor, Durham, Maine, was approved at a regional inspection in August 2015. In addition, the Board of Trustees approved the stallion Elfenperfekt *Pg* by Peron *Pg*, out of Elfentraum *E* by Donauschimmer, based on his excellent performance record. He is owned by Alice Drayer of Jefferson, Maryland. All four stallions are clear on the 3-panel test. Congratulations to the owners of these four stallions!

The Annual Meeting also wrapped up a busy regional inspection season for mares and young stock that saw members of our Inspection Committee traveling from California to Maine and several states in between to inspect and evaluate 46 mares and 7 youngsters this year.

Other highlights of this annual event included meeting the large number of new members attending their first convention and a very interesting presentation by Dr. Jane Marie Manfredi from Michigan State University on “Bits -- Straight From the Horse’s Mouth,” summarizing over 30 years of studies to provide a scientific foundation for making choices about appropriate bitting. An exciting evening GALA Exhibition showcasing our Trakehners culminated with the Jumper Calcutta that raised over $2,000 in prize money for participants. We wrapped up this year’s meeting with an “Oktoberfest” themed banquet complete with oompah music and local keg beer during the social hour, then dancing and bidding both “live” and “online” after dinner on Silent Auction items which included several stallion service entries.

We anticipate the level of enthusiasm surrounding the annual meeting to continue to grow as more members and horses get involved in this educational and networking event in the future! See you at the 2016 Annual Meeting!

Mare and Riding Horse

by Dr. Becky Armstrong, ATA President At the March 2015 ATA Board meeting, the Trustees approved a Mare and Riding Horse Performance Test (MPT) for implementation. After the Inspection Team participated in group training and discussion, the inaugural MPT was held in Durham, Maine, on August 22, 2015. Three mares were inspected and given individual scores on the Walk, Trot and Canter; Rideability; Free Jumping; and a final overall score was determined by weighted coefficients (see MPT information at http:// americantrakehner.com/absolutenm/templates/?a=369&z=3 for details on scoring). The mares featured here—Alyce TL *M*Pr*Pb* and Lucinda TL *Pr*—were the overall high scoring mares at these first two MPTs and both were named “Best

Jumpers” of their respective MPTs receiving the impressive score of 8.5 in jumping! Ironically—or perhaps as a testament to their breeding—while both mares are currently owned by different people, both mares were bred by Debra Tyler, of Tylord Farm, Benson, Vermont, and foaled the same year. Special congratulations are in order for Debra and the breeding decisions that resulted in these two fine Trakehner mares!

In addition to the three mares evaluated in Maine at the first MPT, five additional mares and one riding gelding were tested at the annual meeting in October which seems to signal that ATA members are responding to the opportunity to add riding credentials to their horses’ conformation and performance record!

Alyce TL *M*Pr*Pb*

born in May 2006. She is a product of tragedy, generosity and resilience. If there is a silver lining to the loss at Tylord Farm, it is Alyce TL. When I purchased Alyce TL, I set out to do justice to the memory of the horses I knew at Tylord Farm. Alyce TL’s mare inspection was a great success, and she became a 57-point Model Mare (*M*), achieving the highest conformation inspection score in the country in 2014. As a competitive dressage rider though, I wanted to continue to develop Alyce TL as a sport horse, rather than breed her immediately. In addition to her dressage career, Alyce TL has competed in eventing, winning at the Novice level with a score of 26. When I heard that the ATA was going to offer a Mare Performance Test, I thought Alyce TL would be an ideal candidate. I was already working her toward her Performance Bronze (*Pb*) for proficiency at Third and Fourth Level but thought this would add additional “value” to her performance results.

The ideal Trakehner is an all-around sport horse: rideable, with a good mind, three good gaits, and good jumping ability. The MPT assesses these qualities and helps us, whether we are riders or breeders, take an honest look at our horses’ strengths and weaknesses. For the MPT, Alyce TL and I traveled to Esprit Equestrian Center in Durham, Maine, owned by Carol Poulin-Taylor. I took a few minutes to ride, and then the jumping chute was set up for some final preparation and practice. I crossed my fingers for the next day.

The following morning, in the under-saddle phase, Alyce TL worked fabulously. She was awarded scores of: Walk: 8.0, Trot: 8.5, Canter: 8.5, with a Rideability score of 8.5.

The free jumping phase followed after a short break. Alyce TL jumped athletically and willingly, resulting in a score of 8.5. Alyce TL’s excellent overall score of 8.45 exceeded the minimum requirement for the Performance Premium and set “the bar” as the highest MPT score in 2015.

My goals for Alyce TL are to compete at Prix St. Georges in 2016 and use her in an embryo transfer program. Alyce TL’s MPT result has helped to confirm that she will make a positive contribution to the Trakehner breed.

by Katie Cook, Owner/Rider Alyce TL is exceptional, both for her gaits, conformation, and character, as well as for her uncommon origins. In 2005, Debra Tyler lost her barn and stallions in a fire. Seeing the challenges for Debra, the Trakehner community stepped in to help.

Sherry Tourino, of Fantasy Farm, donated breedings to Fandango. Annabelle TL was bred to Fandango, and Alyce TL was

Performance Test

Lucinda TL *Pr*

Pedigree + Performance = Pride

by Christina Potter, Northeast Trakehners, LLC The vision of breeding our Trakehner horses originated from a childhood interest in an historical breed that was part of our family’s heritage, since both of my parents were born in eastern Germany. My mother often talked of the times they would visit or vacation with the Dembowski family that included many a carriage ride with their elegant and powerful Trakehners. Our interest blossomed into reality with the reunification of Germany and the eventual reconnection with family members that had been able to return to their original farmlands north of Berlin bringing their Trakehners with them.

Tylord Farm’s devastating fire from a lightning strike prompted us to donate semen from our stallion, Inamorato, to their breeding program to help them recover. On July 4th, 2007, Lucinda TL *Pr* (by Inamorato out of Lily of the Valley

by Unkenruf *Pg*E*) was born at Tylord Farm. Years later, on a snowy March day in 2014, I went to visit “Lucy” at a farm in Middlebury, Vermont where she showed me talent and enthusiasm! Discussions leading to her purchase ensued and shortly thereafter she joined us at Northeast Trakehners, LLC! However, we soon decided it would be best that Lucy be sent to Andrew

Photo: Allen MacMillan

Palmer of Royal Palm Farms to continue her training and expand her resumé.

As the 2015 ATA annual meeting approached it became clear that Lucy would benefit from the Jimmy Wofford clinic being held there and she would be able to participate in the second ever mare performance test. The long 18-hour trailering to Ohio was well worth it and especially for the Gala show where our chestnut mares—Rose *M*Pr* (by Fandango out of Pr.St. Indira by Fountainbleau) and Lucy—sashayed in a Pas de Deux to “American Girl.”

Andrew has recently competed Lucy in an Open Novice Division that saw her bring home a first-place ribbon and the best score of any horse at any level that had competed that weekend!

Andrew recounts how after their first event she continued to gallop from the finish line up numerous hills all the way to the stable and hardly broke a sweat. Yes, Lucy could have been one of those horses that would have pulled a cannon, plowed a field, carried an officer and snuggled with the children all in one day.

She is performance-tested not only in her genetics but in real time. She is an incredibly confident mare who easily forms a mutual bond with her rider/trainer and like her sire, Inamorato, she turns heads whenever she steps out.

Honoring Volunteers The Karl-Heinz Barton Memorial Award

by Dr. Becky Armstrong, ATA President

The American Trakehner Association (ATA), like many equestrian organizations, relies heavily on volunteers to offer programs and services to our members. Staff in the central office are primarily responsible for registration, financial management and administratively supporting mare and stallion inspections, branding, the Mare and Riding Horse Performance Test (MPT) as well as the committees that plan and support the ATA’s activities and benefits like the Annual Meeting and magazine. The critical nature of volunteers was recognized by the late Marie-Louise Barton of Castell Imperator-Hof, Sorento, Illinois, who in 1984 established a perpetual trophy in memory of her husband, Karl-Heinz Barton, to annually recognize an individual for exemplary service to the ATA. While many members have won this award in the last 30+ years, two tireless volunteers stand out.

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 Intermediaire, 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.

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.

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.

Expectations are high for this young man and his offspring!

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 show jumping 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.
