The Horses

Donna´s breeding program produced top quality Trakehner horses. In 2011, Donna ranked 8th in USDF end-of-the-year standings as a Sport Horse Breeder in the U.S. Finding the right mare (American Beauty) to breed to the right stallion (Tribute) produced three high caliber offspring. Each of these offspring not only have talent, but the brain that allows that talent to come through in training.

Our Horses

Avianna

is a 7 year old mare by Tribute out of American Beauty by Graditz *E*. Graditz *E* goes back to the legendary Trakehner Show Jumper Abdullah*Pg*E*. Though Avianna is currently jumping 2´3", her forte is Dressage. This mare has a lovely forward overreaching walk with a big, forward trot with suspension. Her canter is uphill and ground covering. Consistently scoring 8s at schooling shows (with graduates of the ´L´ program and ´L´ judges with disctinction) at Training Level 1-4, with consistent comments of "lovely mare, big movement, and lots of ability and potential". Avianna will be a very successful upper level Dressage horse.

Admiral

is an eight-year old registered Trakehner stallion by Tribute out of American Beauty by Graditz*E*. Graditz *E* goes back to the legendary Trakehner Show Jumper Abdullah*Pg*E*. Admiral was the last foal bred and born on the farm. As a two-year old Admiral was asked to jump the highest 4´ square oxer at the ATA inspection for stallion approval, which he cleared. The representative from the German Verband, Erhard Schulte, told me Admiral will be a Champion Hunter. Admiral nowadays is jumping 3´3" with ease. His attitude is laid back and well mannered but Admiral is not for a junior or beginner rider. A real eye candy guy in the show ring and his steady gaits Admiral would make an excellent Eq. Hunter and will live up to Herr Schulte's opinion. Look for Admiral at the Hunter Shows around Columbus!
