This SWANA-registered stallion was born 3/9/09. His 7/8 Olympic blood should make him a dynamic athlete. He is already
16.2 hands, a very striking type, with good uphill movement. He has a certified breeding license from ISR/Oldenburg NA and
SWANA. He has a very quiet temperament, and although very green, he should excel to the Grand Prix level quickly. 2013 will
be his first year standing to outside mares.
Sire: Briar is a 17 hds., liver-chestnut stallion, who in the early 2000s was, for years, the highest ranked dressage stallion in the
world. In 2008, he was Champion of Aachen, the world's most prestigious competition.
He has been to the Olympics twice. (In 2000 at Sydney, he was the youngest horse to compete.) He
has won silver and bronze medals in 4 European Championships, competed in 9 World Cup finals,
2 World Equestrian Games, and is winner of 6 Swedish Championships and has 16 International wins
at Grand Prix in several different countries. Briar has produced 8 approved sons (2 being
winners of Sweden's stallion test) receiving
10s for rideability and gaits. HIs rider, Jan Brink, has said, “Briar is the most talented and willing horse I
have ever sat upon.”
Dam: Friendly Furiosa is TWICE line bred, in the first two generations, to the immortal Inschallah and the legendary Furioso II. Both of these sires
together have had over 15 on the Olympic team in both jumping and dressage. Friendly, her St. Pr. dam, and her sire are ALL
3/4 blood siblings to the Olympic stallion Heisman. Friendly Furiosa is very easy to ride and has good gaits with a great
uphill canter for upper level dressage.

Midnight Mashka is a 3/4 sibling
to our stallion, Rashka, and already shows much of the same potential: the same great work ethic, rideability, and huge movement.
He has a lovely, free-moving shoulder that just naturally creates extension well beyond
most advanced, upper-level dressage horses. Although he is just starting under saddle,
he is going to be a star in the show ring in no time. As a foal, he was Class I for SWANA, scoring 50 points at his inspection
and 9 for gaits, and he is still one of the highest scoring foals ever in the USA and Sweden. His sire, Masterpiece, is Ken's
most comfortable horse ever to ride, and Midnight Mashka shows that same level of ease under saddle.
Sire: Masterpiece (SWANA & ISR/Oldenburg approved) was Reserve Champion of the 2002 30-day stallion test. He is the 2009 USDF Champion
Mature Stallion and holds the highest median score ever given in USDF Dressage Sporthorse Breeding: 87.250%. He
has scored as high as 84% under saddle, 88% in hand, 9 gaits, and a perfect 10 walk! A winner at DAD, he qualified FEI and
open 3rd level at 5 years old. All but one of his foals we have presented have been premium/class 1.
Dam: Tashka is a Premium ISR/Oldenburg and AHHA approved mare, an 8-time Horse of the Year winner (4
USDF & 4 ISR/Oldenburg), a multiple regional championship winner, and a DAD Suitability winner. Her sire, Opus is Dutch registered and ISR/Oldenburg approved. He was 2006 USDF #1 Dressage Breeding Sire (2nd in 2005 and 2004), # 1 NA/WPN
Dressage Breeding Sire for both USDF and USEF since 2004, and # 1 Producer of ISR/Oldenburg Premium Mares and Horse of the
Year winners since 2005. Opus* received a dressage score of 140.59 at his stallion testing, one of the highest ever. He received
the only 9 given in the gaits category (by all 4 judges), and one of only two 10's given in ridability! Opus has won 2nd place
four times at Dressage at Devon and qualified to 3rd level by 5 years old.

(GP Raymeister / Opus by Idocus)

(164.86), multiple USDF HOY winner, and holder of the highest under-saddle median score in USDF history (85.5%). Rashka II

Remminghton
(Rashka x Shirly)
|
Remminghton at his inspection |
Born 5/22/14 a Premium ISR/Oldenburg colt with big strong joints, three white legs, a large star, and a very upright neck.
He already loves people. This newcomer should be able to do anything: dressage, hunters, or even the jumpers! Rideability,
elastic gaits, easy temperament, and jumping talent, should all come easy for this little fellow.
Sire: At his stallion test Rashka had the highest score in all US testing history,164.86, w/ a perfect 10 on his canter
from all judges. He is from four generations of USDF HOY winners, & is himself a winner of 6 USDF HOY Championships, 4
USDF HOY Reserve Chanpionships, & 12 USDF All Breeds HOY Awards. Rashka's sire GP Raymeister was the highest scoring stallion
at the 2002 Stallion Test, is a three-time DAD winner, & has won at Regional USDF in-hand & dressage championships.
Ray consistently scores 9 gaits. Rashka's dam Tashka is a premium ISR/Oldenburg & AHHA approved mare by Opus. She is an
8-time HOY winner (4 USDF & 4 ISR/Oldenburg), a multiple regional championship winner, & a DAD Suitability winner.
Dam: Shirly is one of the best imported, KWPN, Flemmingh mares left in the world. Besides having Flemmingh blood Shirly
has an equally impressive dam side with an Olympic grand sire and other Olympic blood numerous times over. On paper, it should
easily be seen that Shirly is by far better bred than most of the Flemmingh approved-stallion sons, including Krack C and
Lingh, to name only a few of the great Flemmingh sons. Shirly may be our best producer to date. Her Premium offspring include
Kalander Boy - won USDF Horse of the Year, Regional Championships, and adult amateur awards for his current owner; Sir Flemmingh
- an approved stallion, who produced only premium foals. Now gelded by his amateur owner, he has won USDF Horse of the Year
Championship, Dressage at Devon, and a Reserve Regional AA Championship; My Fling - won numerous USDF awards with his owner;
My Second Fling – in 2013, placed well at DAD with only a few weeks of being under saddle.

Tiamo's Raferro
(Tiamo Trocadero x Zabella/Olympic Ferro)
Born 7/30/13, a Class I SWANA colt. This colt not only has a winning pedigree but shows incredible type and movement - better
than his Olympic sire and Olympic grand sire. He should have the best piaffe that money can buy! Both his Olympic sire and
grand sire were extremely well-known for theirs. He is definitely a Grand Prix dressage prospect.
Sire: Tiamo Trocadero is a Hanoverian International Grand Prix dressage stallion who was an alternate for the 2000 Olympics.
He earned over 70% at top CDIs in Europe, and with his amateur owner, won many USDF year-end awards at the FEI levels. His
sire, Trapper is known for passing on his big, floating trots and very good rideability. Tiamo's dam is by Darling, whose
pedigree includes the famous D-line stallions Duellant and Devil's Own xx.
Dam: "Bella" is a very beautiful,16.1+ hand, true black, sweet natured KWPN mare, with incredible elastic gaits
(especially in her trot and canter work). She is also approved premium ISR/Oldenburg. Very clean, expressive, uphill flying
changes with good lateral work. She is not only suitable for the upper levels of dressage, she also displays a rare honesty
to fences with good hunter form and rhythm. Her sire, Olympic Ferro, competed at the 2000 Olympics and assisted his team in
achieving a team silver medal, with an individual score of 74.92%. Ferro produces beautiful, typey, talented offspring of
the highest quality, with fantastic toplines and an elegant look. In addition to their excellent dressage ability, Olympic
Ferro's offspring also make good jumpers. Zabella's dam, Nirvana, is by Fleming, and her dam sire is Calypso I by Cor de la
Bryere. She is a well-balanced, modern type Dutch mare, standing 16.2 h. At her 2004 kuering, Nirvana received a First Premium
and her "Ster Predicate" ranking.
