O' Million Dollar Baby |

photo by Nicole Nicholson |
This January 2017, ISR/Oldenburg filly was premature, but she is one of the best dressage foals we have had.
Sire: Ovation is a 2009,
ISR/Oldenburg stallion, standing 16.3 hands. A
huge, elastic mover with a sweet personality, he had the highest dressage score
at his stallion inspection. He scores in
the 70s and 80s, with 9 on gaits and lateral movements. Among
his annual HOY awards for USDF and ISR/Oldenburg, is USDF HOY 3rd
Level Freestyle with a score of 76.000%. His 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. Ovation’s dam, EM
Windspiel (Weltmeyer
x St Pr Argronomia/Argentan/Pik Koenig) is an elite Hanoverian mare with a
world-class pedigree. She is by the legendary Weltmeyer and out of a state
premium mare by Argentan. Windspiel was USDF HOY with her amateur owner at
levels 1 and 2.
Dam: Brilotta is by Briar. At 16.2+ hands, she is a beautiful type with correct
legs and huge bones - a freer mover than her sire, by far. She was
a Class I filly, and the year of her inspection she was the only
foal given a 9 on her trot by SWANA. Briar is a 17 hand stallion who, for 7 years, was 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 7 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. Brilotta’s
dam, Carlotta II,
is an incredible moving Trakehner mare, imported from Germany with a top
performance pedigree that can't be found anywhere. She is an OSB mare, to
whom the Trakehner Verband gave a score of 54 (77%). She is the only
daughter in North America of the outstanding jumper Elite Kasparow, who won his
100 day test in Neustadt Dosse with all licensing scores at least 9,
and a 10 on his walk. Carlotta's dam Coquette is by the Premium and Elite
stallion, Tivano.

Horse of the Year
|
photo by Nicole Nicholson |
Personality Plus Pedigree! Born 3/18/2017, O’Boy is a premium ISR/Oldenburg colt,
reserve champion colt of his inspection site. He is elegant yet substantial like his dam, with incredible movement
and freedom in the front end like his sire, Opus. O’ Boy is very friendly
and confident, a beautiful type, bred for both dressage and jumping. Undefeated in the show ring and winning championships
at every show, O' Boy was high score of the USDF breed show at Circle E Equestrian in Green Bay, WI., with an 80+%. At
Fields & Fences on August 6, he was in the 80s again and high score of the entire show.
He has very substantial body muscling for such a young colt, yet still is a very pretty type, suitable for a
dressage or jumper prospect, and his huge, elastic movement makes him a definite stallion prospect. He is going to be
the one to watch for in the young horse under saddle and over fences. 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.
Dam: Brava Cor Ray is 16.3 hands and has breathtaking movement. As a 2 year old, with limited showing, she placed both at Dressage at Devon
and in USDF HOY standings. Her sire, R Cor Ray, has wonderful bloodlines, type, and movement. Although he was injured as a yearling and has a slight irregularity, you can
still see his jumping and movement ability. His sire Raymeister is the most winning horse
in USDF history, the highest scoring stallion at the 2002 Stallion Performance Test, a three time winner at DAD, consistently
scoring 9 gaits, 2005 USDF Leading Dressage Holsteiner with an average score of 78+%, 2006 USDF Horse of the Year, and sire
of approved ISR/Oldenburg stallion Rashka, who has the highest score in the history of all US stallion testing, 164.86. R
Cor Ray's dam Condina is by the legendary Cor de la Bryere and is a full sibling to the approved Holsteiner stallion, Condino.
Brava Cor Ray’s dam is Paloma, an International Grand Prix Jumper and imported Westfalen mare who has won over $118,000 in her career. She was Gold Medal
Winner of the mare show (mare approvals) in Germany at 3 yrs. old, and was shown as a Grand Prix Jumper all over Europe, where
one of her most successful partnerships was with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum. She was never out of the ribbons, even
with 19 different riders (including several children), and was a wild card for the United States World Cup.
Her pedigree includes the wonderful jumper lines of her sire, Pit I by the legendary Pilot. Pit I is a premier
sire of show jumpers including Paloma, Perina (Meredith Michaels), and Picadilly (Debbie Winkler). Paloma's dam is by Ramiroff,
a Ramiro son.
