One of the most elastic and comfortable movers -- and he loves to jump. His movement and pedigree are incredible. According to one of the stallion test riders, Greg Mangan, who rode with Ireland's Olympic Team, Masterpiece will be "a top hunter." Even Darren Chiacchia, U.S. Olympic eventer, has inquired about purchasing Masterpiece.

At his first dressage show ever, Kentucky Dressage Association May 24 - 26, 2006, Masterpiece had the high score both in-hand, with an 88%, and under saddle, with an 84%.  He received all 8 -10’s.  Yes, he received a 10 on his walk!

All Masterpiece offpspring have been sold, either in utero or before the age of one, except the two-year-old Premium Oldenburg, Mona Lisa (Masterpiece / Hohenstein), who is due to foal in June 2009.   If you would like your own "Masterpiece," please contact us before we rebreed Mona Lisa, or put your name on our waiting list for 2010.

Breeding Fee: $900 LFG

Booking Fee: $300

Sire: Master 850, is Kyra Kyrklund’s World Cup Champion mount and winner of the Swedish dressage championships for five- and six-year-olds. Master is also the sire of another Olympic hopeful, Tip Top 962, the only horse to win the Swedish Triple Crown (dressage championships for four-, five- and six-year-olds)

Dam: Miss Nickle Annie is approved Dutch, Hanoverian, Holsteiner, and ISR/Oldenburg. She has shown very successfully in dressage (a 70% avg.), hunter (Horse of the Year titles, 2nd in the Medal Finals), and eventing (undefeated). Her foals have amassed many awards:

·         Raymeister*, her approved son, won the 2002 Stallion Performance Test.  Ray has won at all his shows including annual wins at Regional Championships. A three-time winner at Dressage at Devon, he consistently scores 9 gaits.  Ray is the 2005 USDF Highest Dressage Holsteiner and is 2006 USDF HOY.

      Pennies From Heaven, Miss Nickle Annie’s filly, was High Score Training Level Horse with her amateur owner at numerous midwest shows in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Masterpiece, her third foal, received Class I, with scores of 8, 8, 7, at the Swedish inspection.

Opal, by Opus*, her fourth foal, is a premium ISR/Oldenburg mare whose first two foals ('06 + '07) are premium.
