His competitive career in the US has been most promising, He was Champion stallion and overall Grand Champion three times at breed shows, culminating with the USDF Region 9 Mature Horse Championship. He also received the high score of that show with an impressive 80%. 2001 USDF Horse of the Year awards included a 5th place nationally for 4 year and older stallions in hand and Reserve Champion Hanoverian stallion. Cabalito was started in the hunter ring with great success and has been very well received by both judges, trainers and breeders. He received top ribbons and many wins in the pre-greens at “A” shows including the San Antonio Christmas Show, Great Southwest (Houston) and the High Prairie Summer Circuit (Colorado). 2003 will bring his debut in the First Year Greens. Cabaltio’s first foal crop started arriving in February 2002 and they couldn’t be any better! The foals have all been stamped with his beautiful expression, well set on necks and correct foundations. They are all displaying his graceful and elegant movement.

Comments: Cascani is by the famous popular Holsteiner stallion Cassini I, a beloved son of the great sire Capitol I. This stallion line is one of the most sought after among breeders in Germany today, with Cassini I and his full brother Cassini II breeding well over 600 mares per year. Cascani’s dam, from stamm 456, is also the mother of the Alcatraz son Askano, who stands at the Verband in Elmshorn. Cascani’s full sister produced the Mecklenburg approved Holsteiner stallion, Cosineval (Cosimo) at the 2009 Korung. Cascani was presented as a young stallion and received approval in Hessen and in the Rhineland-pfalz-Saar region. He was subsequently exported to Mexico at three years of age where he was discovered by Erin Davis and brought to October Hill Farm. He is a very personable, kind and gentle stallion, and, typical of all Cassini offspring, he exhibits very correct jumping form and an amateur-friendly attitude. His athletic abilities are only enhanced by his exceptionally nice movement, no doubt introduced by the presence of Carneval and Marlon in his mother’s line. Cascani competed in the high amateurs and local Grand Prix, with great placings at outings in such locations as Vermont, Wellington, Tampa, Del Mar and Pebble Beach. Cascani was officially retired from showing in 2007 and is now standing full time at October Hill Farm. Cascani was presented to and approved by the RPSI and the AHHA based on his pedigree and his success in sport. Photo by J Parker

Comments: Photo by Flying Horse Chaleon has terrific dynamic movement, great jumping ability, and superior conformation. He is well mannered on the ground and extremely quite to ride. Chaleon competes successfully in the hunter divisions with John French on the West Coast. Chaleon has had wins in the very competitive First Year Green Working Hunters at the Indio Winter Series. Other recent highlights include top placings under saddle, in the Green Conformation divisions, and in the Green Conformation Model. Chaleon’s offspring are correct in conformation, share his beautiful head, steady disposition, and three correct gaits. His offspring have excelled in the Hunter Breeding Divisions. Charma CWF was the 2006 USEF Reserve National Champion Hunter Breeding Yearling. Chaleon’s sire Calido I received the incredible score of 10.0 for jumping ability in his Stallion Test. Calido’s tremendous show jumping talent is passed on to his offspring. This secured him a top position in FN breeding value placing him #1 in Hanover and #6 nationally in Germany for 1999. Chaleon’s Grandsire Cantus was a sire of show jumpers and produced international horses including Calvaro s/w. Chaleon’s damsire, Caletto I successfully competed in international showjumping competitions. In 1983 he was team bronze medalist at the European championships in Hickstead. In the same year he was the most successful German horse competing in Prix des Nations classes and the horse with the highest winnings at the CSIO in Geneva. In five years he won more than DM 100,000 - more than any German sire before him. Photo by Tass

Comments: Chesapeake, a 2001 son of Carvallo has matured into an impressive young stallion. Chesapeake is a beautiful mover with a bold jump. He was imported from Germany as a three year old and received his final stallion approval with the American Holsteiner Horse Association in 2007 with a score of 48. Ches- apeake’s grandsire, Carthago, represented the Dutch team with Jos Lansink aboard and finished 11th place at the Atlanta Games. Carthago is a son of Capitol I. Capitol I is prized for his exceptional jumping ability, enormous talent and his willingness to perform. He passes these traits on to his offspring. Landgraf I has proven his ability to pass on his show jumping genes to his offspring. Landgraf I has produced more than 130 stallions and is the only sire to have four sons competing in the World Championships at the same time. Landgraf I is the sire of Freestyle (Lalique) who won the Aachen Grand Prix, and Libero who won the Dutch National title five times and the 1994 Volvo World Cup. Chesapeake’s first foals arrived in 2006. Wishful Thinking (Chesapeake x Alba Real) owned by Alison Maskel was awarded premium foal status at the Holstein approvals in Milbrook, NY. Who Knew (Chesapeake x Dominante) is a beautiful filly that exhibits her sire’s elegance and pleasant personality.

Churchill was selected by October Hill Farm’s head rider Erin Davis to be her next top competition horse. Working with agents in Holland, Erin imported this interesting prospect in late 2006 and has exciting plans for him. Says Erin, “We love his breeding, love his courage at the jumps, and I’m most excited about the feel I get when I ride him. It’s just raw power. Even at the biggest jumps, I feel like there is so much more under me that I haven’t used yet. It’s the most amazing feeling.” As a rider, Erin has always sought out certain qualities in a horse she purchases for sport or resale. “With Churchill, I was very intrigued by the pedigree, as was Wendy. We love Cassini and have had lots of his foals here that we’ve imported, and Carano is a full brother to Cassini. Carpaccio and Grundymann are also favorites. Churchill was a good choice for us in many ways.” Because Churchill is being developed for sport, his book is limited to only five mares per year, and at this time, the breeding fee is at an introductory level. This brilliant and gifted stallion promises to contribute in so many ways to the American breeder.

Comments: Clair de Lune is a young stallion with a pedigree that includes some of the best show jumping bloodlines in the world. He has top sires in the first 3 generations, on both dam and sire side. His sire CONTENDOR, 1/2 brother to the #1 sire of Holstein, CONTENDER, competed internationally in many prestigious competitions. He consistently places and won top 10 in many Grand Prix such as G/P of Indio, Weisbaden Audi International, $50,000 CSIO International, $75,000 HBO GP of Delmar, LA International World Cup Qualifier with Hugh Mutch aboard. He ranked 6th on the USET West Coast World Cup Qualifying list in 2003. Calypso II- the sire of Contendor, was himself an international showjumper ridden by M. Ruping. He was later retired to stud and became an outstanding progenitor siring many famous show jumpers including Contender and Coriolan. Cor de la Bryere is the foundation sire of Holstein and sire of dozens of famous international superstars. Graphit is the sire of Contendor’s dam Grille, who produced Grannus (sire of Olympian Top Gun, Grannus Grannit, Graf Grannus, etc. a total of 7 olympic horses!). Contendor’s full brother Monty Morelos, competed in the 2000 Olympics with the Mexican team! On the dam’s side, Clair’s mother L’Vienna, a Hanoverian Grand Prix showjumper, became a broodmare due to a irreversible injury that ended her showjumping career. L’Vienna descends from Alme Z, who has sired numerous international showjumpers including Quicksilver and Galoubet A. who is the sire of Rodrigo Pessoa’s famous Olympic mount Baloubet de Rouet. Clair is a beautiful stallion, very handsome with a rare bluish tint to his grey. He has an incredible neck and top line. When started under saddle, this year he has shown us a willingness to please and perform and a very kind temperament. In the jump chute he has demonstrated phenomenal jumping ability, power and overall athleticism. Clairs first foals arrive in spring of ‘09.

Cascani’s own sire, Cassini I, one of the most popular stallions of Holstein breeding, was not only a very successful showjumper, but is also revered as a producer of very saleable, very rideable offspring. The genetics of Cassini I are strong in Concho, who, in conformation, is very reminiscent of this horse. More discussion on the stallion Cassini can be found in the comments section for Cascani, also featured in this catalog. DAM LINE – Concho’s Westfalen dam, Ravenna, also competed successfully to the 1.45m level at shows across the United States. Her greatest strengths were her handiness on technical courses, and her blooded pedigree surely complements the steady strengths of the Holsteiner “C” blood. Westfalen stallion Cyrian, with Trakehner bloodlines, has been very important for the jumping side of this breed. Cyrian was a descendant of the Celle state stud Trakehner stallion Cyklon by Helikon, who founded Westfalia’s C-line (not to be mistaken with the Holstein C-line), which produced a number of very good jumpers. GENERAL – Concho is just starting his career and competed in YJC 5 Year old classes in 2008. Comments to his character and ability are already received by professional observers. His willingness in the free schooling chute attests to his future success at high levels of sport. As we are keen to develop him properly, he will stand to a limited book of mares in 2008 and participated in the YJC Midwest championships.

Comments: Crown Affair is a rare combination of a Cor de la Bryere son out of a Capitol 1 mare. This dark brown stallion has had an impeccable career as a show hunter. He was the 2005 Zone 7 Horse of the Year for Regular Conformation Hunters. He has been nationally ranked in the top 15 in Amateur Owner Hunters 36 and over every year since being purchased by Yellow Dog Farm in 2006. He was 5th in the country in 2008 and was second in the Amateur Owner World Hunter Rider Finals at Capital Challenge later that year. That same year, he received good ribbons over fences at both of the indoor shows and was 3rd in the under saddle at Washington and 2nd in the under saddle at Harrisburg. His 2008 foal, “Crown Caper” was named a Premium Foal by the Director of the Breeding Department of the Holsteiner Verband at an inspection in Oc- tober 2008. He has many other previous foals, primarily in the northwest, but this owner does not have detailed knowledge on these babies. Crown Affair has a relaxed disposition, good movement and a beautiful jumping style. His show career dictates that he be available by frozen semen only, but he has been incredibly successful covering mares in this manner.

Son of the Grand Prix International sire Cassini I out of a Grand Prix dressage and jumper sire Contender mare, Stamm 1907. This is a very old mare line know for their performance and work ethic.

Cunningham had many shows where we won 5 out of 6 classes in his divisions. At Menlo Charity Cunningham was Hi-Point horse for the entire show. His babies are a copy of himself, beautiful both in looks, conformation, and character. The easiest babies I have ever worked with and put under saddle. Bookings are limited due to show schedule. In 2007 he alternated between 2nd YR. and Reg. Conf. Hunters. He showed the Gr. Conf. Hunter at each show. In 2008, he will be shown in Regular Conformation and Regular Working Hunter. We were Champion 20 out of 20 shows in 2008 in Regular Conformation Hunters.

Comments: DEJA BLUE B’s sire Ferro was known as the ‘Black Pearl’ of the KWPN. He won team Silver at the 1998 World Equestrian Games, 1999 European Cham- pionships and the 2000 Olympic Games. Ferro and rider Coby van Baalen posted a personal best of 80+% in their kür to earn a Silver Medal at the World Cup Finals in ‘s Hertogenbosch behind Anky Van Grunsven and Bonfire. To date, Ferro has sired 10 licensed sons, including Metall, Kennedy, Rhodium, Lorenzo and Hilltop Rousseau, Silver Medalist at the FEI Young Dressage Horse Championships. Ferro’s sire Ulft descends from the same sire line that produced Furioso II and his dam, Brenda, was by Farn who sired KWPN Stal- lion of the Century, Nimmerdor. DEJA BLUE B’s dam Song Sung Blue B has already produced two BWP licensed stallions—Deja Blue B and Blue Bayou B (by Simsalabim) and a Pre- mium, performance tested daughter Apollonia B. • Song Sung Blue B’s sire Branco was the first stallion in the U.S. to be fully licensed as a Belgian Warm- blood breeding stallion. Recently deceased, Branco was a grandson of the legendary jumper sire Ramiro (aka G Ramiro Z), considered the most influential jumper sire of the last 50 years and sire of Olympic Medalists Ratina Z, Royal Kaliber, etc. and countless other international competitors and licensed sons including Rebel I & II Z, Robin I & II Z, Ronald, Raphael, Damiro, Ramino, Armstrong, Zeoliet, etc. BRANCO’S DAM, UGONDA, produced two-time Olympian Freud, who competed under the name Radisson Diamond. Ugonda’s half-sister Agnetha (Le Mexico) produced the sBs licensed stallion Elton III. In 2008 DEJA BLUE B completed his first year of performance requirements for the BWP (by qualifying for the 5 yo Midwest YJC). This multi-talented stallion should demonstrate his ability in any discipline! We expect that Blue will finish his performance requirements in 2009 and become permanently licensed with the BWP and RPSI registries. Indigo- Premium Colt

Comments: From the first foal crop of the Hanoverian stallion Fred Astaire, Fielding offers new bloodlines to the Hilltop Farm stallion line-up and important diversity for North American breeders. His sire Fred Astaire is an FEI dressage stallion that won his Intermediaire I debut in 2008 with Tom Noone. Fred Astaire’s sire, Fabriaino, won his Performance Testing with a score of 133 points and high marks in both the dressage and jumping portions. He has produced more than 10 approved sons, more than 50 State Premium Mares, and almost 50 candidates for the Verden Elite Auctions. Fielding’s dam Lesley is by Lessing, a former Celle State Stud stallion who was exported to Canada to stand at Spruce Meadows. A Grand Prix jumper himself, Lessing sired talented jumpers and event horses who were known for their level-headedness and excellent canters. Lessing was by Lugano I, the most successful son of the Thoroughbred improvement sire, Der Loewe xx. Lesley’s damsire, Banter, was from the proven Bolero/Grande breeding nick and Banter daughters in particular have been valued as broodmares in North America. In 2007, Fielding was licensed by the American Hanoverian Society. He proceeded on to the 100-day stallion test and finished as the top placed North American bred stallion and in fifth place overall. His overall score of 125 points Photo by Bob Tarr earned the Class I designation and a 9 on character and 8’s on temperament, ability to work, willingness to work, rideability, and general jumping aptitude marked his highlights. Fielding offers powerful movement marked with a consistent, steady rhythm and an active, engaged hindleg. His jumping ability offers both scope and classic technique, and his enthusiasm for this work is obvious. He shows remarkable composure as a young stallion and has an inherent desire to please his rider. Fielding moved to Hilltop Farm in the fall of 2008 and we look forward to his competitive debut and the birth of his first foals in 2009.

Pavarotti himself was the reserve champion of the jumping test for Rheinland and Westfalen as well as the BWP. Following a trailer accident, Pavarotti became a champion dressage performer. The descendants of Pavarotti are notable for their good looks. As well, they combine super movement with excellent jumping technique. Figaro B’s grandsire, Pilot is without doubt the best Westphalian producer of jumpers. Pilot has produced about thirty Grand Prix horses including Priamos, Bugatti Pedro, Piro, and Panama. Damsire Wellington was reserve champion of the stallion testing in 1983 and went on to place 3rd in the National stallion competition in 1985, 2nd in the 1987 competition, and 1st in the stallion competition category C. He also starred in dressage at Z-level and jumped nationally. He earned his “keur” predicate by siring many “ster” and “keur” mares, and approved stallions like Emilion, Farrington, and Glennridge. He has also sired many international show jumpers like VDL Jupiter, Jerome, SP Deka and What a Game. Wellington has also sired top dressage horses like Bolvorms Ceylon and Luxaflex. True to his pedigree, Figaro B shows exceptional talent for both dressage and show jumping. A powerful jumper, with beautiful movement Fi- garo B should shine in both arenas. Adding a “10” temperament to his talent and good looks, Figaro B should be an important stallion in the future. Figaro B is EVA negative and vaccinated.v Photo by Pam Norton

One breeding judge who knows For Pleasure very well mentioned that Both For Pleasure and For play were bred by the same breeder and also mentioned that not only does For Play have the Ability of his father but is an improvement through the quality of movement. For Play has had 100% conception rate on all first breedings to his US mares in 2008 from cooled and frozen semen including mares in their 20’s. For Play’s bloodlines and young performance record are enticing other stallion owners to include him in their breeding program. As a young horse in Germany he earned the privilege of qualifying for the Bundeschampionat. For Play had many wins as a young horse with the most recent at 1.40 meters timed as a 5 year old. 2007 was spent breeding back at his home farm outside of Hanover before we were given the opportunity to bring him to the US. His success is also blooming in Dressage with scores in the mid 70’s in USDF. For Play was imported at the end of 2007 and we expect him to join the national Grand Prix levels and USDF upper level dressage. Prior to being imported For Play was selected and won his 30 day stallion test in Germany. He won by such a margin that he was exempted from the conclusion of the 70 day test so he could stand at the Celle State stud and participate in the jumper breeding program. For Play has produced several outstanding foals in Germany. Out of his first foal crop he produced a licensed German Hanoverian stallion that stands and remains in Germany. He gives his foals his very typey head, jumping ability For Play- Free jumping in and scope as well as his lofty, suspended powerful dressage type gate. He has Germany produced all colors including black out of a bay mare. I have seen a variety of his foals that move and jump like top hunters, jumpers and dressage horses.

Louisville’s dam Wenda, a Keur mare herself, produced several other notable offspring including Keur mare Kitty W (by Forum) who had IBOP scores of 9 for walk and 8.5 for trot , Keur mare Maddy W (by Epilot), and the approved AES stallion Pablo W (by Damiro), a Z-level jumper at 1.30 meters. Wenda’s sire Vesins, a KWPN approved thoroughbred, also sired the notable KWPN stallion, Sebastiaan. While in the Netherlands, Sebastiaan showjumped at the 1.60 level at the Indoor Friesland, Zuidlaren, and Amsterdam CSI’s and under Mary Alice Malone, he had a wonderful career at Grand Prix dressage. At the 2008 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, a 2003 mare, Wonderella (ds. Rubiquil), earned highlight scores of 8.0 on her trot and 7.5 for canter in the Five Year Old Small Finals. Louis’ foals inherit his delightful temperament and athletic ability. Whether you compete in dressage or need a partner in the hunter/jumper ring, Hexagon’s Louisville can help you create the ideal athlete.

Comments: Hit Parade is a talented young stallion who has earned respect across the US with his impressive performances in the FEI Young Horse tests. In 2007 he qualified for his first trip to the US National Championships with owner/rider Sandy Burns-Gardner. Hit Parade finished in fourth position overall and was the highest placed five- year-old stallion. This season, Hit Parade has gained strength and expression and started off the year with scores in the 70’s at Second and Third Level. He was ranked first in the nation going into the 2008 Young Horse National Championships with an 8.34 average. Under the trying weather conditions, Hit Parade maintained his composure and again finished fourth at the finals and was still the highest placed stallion. Hit Parade is by the Sandro Hit son Show Star. Show Star was the Federal Champion at three years old, Reserve Champion at four years old, and finished second in the prestigious Nürnberg Burgpokal, a final for young Prix St. Georges horses. Show Star is proving himself in the breeding shed as well and has sired a number of Elite Auction offspring. Grandsire Sandro Hit won the Bundeschampionat and the FEI Young Horse World Championships as a 6-year-old. Sandro Hit’s influence is now felt across all major registries and his offspring are highly sought after. Esprina, the dam of Hit Parade, has also produced the licensed stallion Ro- man Nature. Roman Nature was the federal champion of 3-year-old stallions and was vice champion at the World Championships in the Netherlands for 5-year-old horses. The significant Rhineland sires, Ehrentusch, sire to Chris- tine Traurig’s Olympic mount Etienne, and the former approval winner, Pas- ternak, are found on Hit Parade’s damline. Premium Colt- by Hit Parade x Hit Parade’s first foals, out of a Bugatti mare and a Ferro mare, both received Broadway SFS (Bugatti) Premium designations at their foal inspections and one received a score of 8.5 on movement.

Comments: Hot Shot was licensed by the American Sportpony Registry in 2005, achieving an overall score of 7.7 with an 8.2 score for gaits and elasticity. A Dutch rider visiting the US who rode him said “He is of the most special type sought in Europe, called the “Double Z” ponies, having the supreme talent to compete at the highest levels in both Jumping and Dressage.” Others have referred to Hot Shot as a superior young stallion whose imminent popularity will create a legacy for many generations to come. As a sire, his first offspring out of a 16.2h TB was awarded Inspection Site Champion by the AWR in 2008. Hot Shot is making his mark with many Champion Stallion, High Score Sportpony Awards, several USDF Year End Awards and 6th place in the 2007 USDF East Coast DSHB Championship Stallion Finals. At 2007 Dressage At Devon he placed 6th and 7th under saddle, as the ONLY Sportpony competing in these open classes against the full sized warmbloods. Also, in 2008 he finished in 4th place in the (first ever in the USA) Free Jumping Competition sponsored by the American Hanoverian Society, again as the only Sportpony, against Internationally bred Showjumping prospects at the maximum height of 4’3” (1.3 m). His sire is the 13.1h Welsh Section B stallion Red Hot Pepper, who produced many exceptional sport & hunter type ponies. His dam is the 15.1h AHS Mare Davigna MRF winner of several Hunter Breeding and USDF DSHB Champion and Grand Championships. His damline includes many FEI Dressage horses, an Olympic Jumper and the infamous USEF Hall of Fame Hunter & 5 time Horse Of The Year, Ruxton. For a pony to compete successfully against horses and do so beyond average levels, something extra special is needed. It’s that extra and special that this American born son has to offer. “Pony Power” excellence at its best. 2008 Red Roan Colt

Justice sired the champion and res. Champion fillies of the entire 2008 BWP inspection tour. His colt Ixtapa ranked in the top five colts of the tour. Sire Line -- Justice is a direct son of Ramiro Z, famous worldwide as a sire of sporthorses. Ramiro excelled in Puissance up to 2.20m and participated in several successful Nations Cup outings. He was named “Sire of the Year” in 1992 and remains at the top of breeder indices in both jumping and dressage for many breed organizations today. In Holland, his sons Almiro, Armstrong, Bernstein, Dageraad, Damiro, Elmero and Zeoliet have all achieved fame. His daughter, the super-mare Ratina Z, is the dream of the showjumping world, winning both gold and silver at the Barcelona Olympics and the Volvo World Cup of 1993. Ramiro is a son of Raimond, whose greatest son was Ramiro himself but who also produced five other approved sons. Raimond’s sire, Ramzes, was a Polish Anglo-Arabian brought to Holstein as a competition horse, but was subsequently used by the Verband to put refinement on the heavy Holsteiner mares. Ramzes produced not only competition horses such as Remus, winner of individual silver and team gold at the Tokyo Olympics, and Mariano, winner of the World Dressage Championships, and the show jumper Retina, but he also has had a lasting influence in the performance horses of today. His son, Rigoletto, sold to Holland by Holstein, where he had a hugely successful career as a sire of exceptional jumping horses. Dam’s Line – Justice’s dam, Ubenia, was a prolific dam in Holland, producing a family which gave rise to such successful showjumpers as Olien (Concorde). Ubenia is sired by Joost, producer of many internationally successful TITAN- (Justice/ Nimmerdor/ showjumpers, including the well-known stallion VIP and the top mares Esprite and Gadernmie.

Photo by Draygonfyne Design Comments: Royal Crusade is a promising son of the renowned stallion Routinier, who was ridden by dressage star Steffen Peters. Routinier’s sire Rohdiamont was mar- velously successful at Grand Prix level dressage under Olympian Lisa Wilcox. With more than 20 licensed sons in breeding, Rohdiamont belongs to the most influential sons of Rubinstein I. Routinier’s damline is one of the best in Olden- burg, with more than 8 approved stallions. Royal Crusade’s dam’s pedigree is equally impressive with showjumping bloodlines. His dam is a granddaughter of the outstanding legendary Cor de la Bryere, whose offspring have an excellent reputation in the international scene, such as show jumping Olympic champions Classic Touch, Calvaro and Corrado. His dam also contributes a significant amount of Thoroughbred blood, which is desirable for adding the stamina and endurance necessary for competition. To know this wonderful stallion is to love him. His personality is friendly and affectionate and he has a great mind. He enjoys his work and learns exercises quickly. He is trail ridden weekly, and his daily dressage training is in an outside dressage ring with neither a fence nor wall. He is brave and confident even when ridden in extreme weather conditions, such as gusty winds, swirling snow, and the dusk of night -- and this was a 3- and 4-year-old stallion! He has been ridden in dressage clinics with J. Ashton Moore and Christine Traurig. He is currently working at first/second Level and is starting his jumping career under saddle. He has free jumped to 4’9”. Royal Crusade has qualifed for the USDF Region 2 Breeders Championship 3 times and finished among the top 4 regionally in the 4-Years-and-Older divi-

Comments: A most promising dark colored stallion by the World Champion in dressage, Sandro Hit, who is probably the most popular sire in the world right now because of his outstanding offspring. His daughter, Poetin, caused a Bundeschampion in dressage, sold for 2.5 million Euro at the PSI auction and is just the tip of his iceberg of exclusive offspring. Sagnol is a talented young dressage sire of caliber with three perfect gaits. He comes from the famous Holstein mare line 776, the legendary Ramiro line that never ceases to produce great highlights such as the sires Acorado, Calvados, Cortino, Lordanos or Rouletto. A countless number of his offspring are active in top-level sport. What more can be said about his famous dam’s sire, Landadel? Even after his death, his sons and daughters continue to leave a permanent mark on Oldenburg sport horse breeding. The Holstein sires, Fantast and Colt in particular, ensure a willingness to perform and the Thoroughbred stallions, Frivol xx, Cottage Son xx and Anblick xx add refinement and toughness to his pedigree. Sagnol is a beautiful modern type stallion, with three super gaits. He is a wonderful addition to the NA stallion base, and an exciting cross for a wide variety of mares. His first foal crop born in 2005, in Germany was very well received. Sagnol’s first North American born foals arrived in 2007, and this resulted in many premium foals, including San Bella rated premium by the Oldenburg Verband, site champion filly and declared as “Elite Auction Quality Foal”. Sagnol’s foal’s are also proving to be in demand by FEI rider’s looking for their top horse. Sagnol is siring very elegant foals, with beautiful heads and necks, correct conformation, and very elastic movement. In 2007 Sagnol also became of one the very few outside stallions ever to be approved by the American Holsteiner Horse Association, he received 51 bonits. Sagnol is a sire for the future.

Email: [email protected] Photo by Susan Sexton Website: www.windsweptfarm.com Comments: Sam Steele is a son of the impressive stallion Sherlock Holmes who himself placed second in his performance test out of 43 stallions – earning the high scores of 141.14 for rideability and 139.76 for jumping. His dam, States Premium mare Eskalade, produced three licensed colts. Sherlock Holmes produced eight licensed colts , 40 States Premium mares and 50 auction horses. Sherlock Holmes offspring, like himself, are multi- talented for dressage and jumping, and he produces impressive horses with extravagant movement. Sam Steele inherited these traits and passes them on to his offspring. Many have been chosen Champion foals at their inspection, and two of his daughters placed first and second for the Hartwig Prize (for highest scoring young North American-bred mares). Others are starting to compete successfully and are receiving much attention, such as Sundance Kid who placed 2nd in the Pre-Greens in Ontario for 2008 and 3rd in the Adult Amateur Division. On the performance side Sam has the low profile and steady way of going of a hunter, and is well-balanced, bold and scopey with the instincts of a more experienced horse. He can be recommended as a producer of quality Hunters as well as Dressage and Jumper types.

Ridge Rd. Gaston, Oregon 97119 United States of America Phone: 503-702-6728 Email: [email protected] Website: www.quailrunfarm.biz

Comments: Walkabout is an outstanding example of the modern sporthorse. Although big, he has an airy, light way of moving. His walk is ground covering, yet swinging and relaxed. The trot has lovely reach and suspension, and the canter is amazing - huge and lofty, yet balanced. Walkabout is incredibly elastic - lateral work has been easy for him. He is light in the hand, and beautifully responsive to the leg. Although never put in jump training, a few free jumping sessions showed Walkabout to be very talented and bold over fences. In 2006 Walkabout made his debut at training level after an 8 month lay up due to a stall injury. Most of his scores were in the 70%’s, with 1 score of 80%. He was the Oregon Dressage Society T.L. Champion, winning both tests of the championship class. Walkabout has improved every mare he has bred. His first foal, Boomerang QRF,is out of a TB mare, and has had a phenomenal show career already. As a yearling he was the AWS national gold medalist yearling colt in hand, as a 2 year old he was the silver medalist 2y.o. colt in hand, and now as a 3 y.o. we’re waiting for year end results - but are confident he’ll place well - he won 5 of 6 3y.o. colts and geldings classes, and 3 colt championships. Boomer and Walkabout’s other offspring all have wonderful temperaments - calm and willing, easy to work with. Each surpasses its dam in conformation and movement. While superior movement is desirable, for most riders a good mind and willing attitude are most important in their mounts. Walkabout was bred, raised, trained, and shown by his owner - an older, physically handicapped woman. He is proof that one can have it all - outstanding, awe inspiring gaits, combined with a kind and giving nature. Boomerang QRF- a colt out of the TB mare Serrano Slew Due to a tendon injury, Walkabout has been sidelined from work and competition. We’re hoping he can make a comeback in 2010. Look for his first foal crop to show under saddle in 2009 - we are planning on campaigning Boomerang QRF at training level. Please check our wesite, or feel free to call for more info.

Comments: Wellesley is a son of Windswept Farm’s foundation stallion World Cup IV. This sire line, going back through Woermann and Wohler, has produced outstanding horses with World Cup IV, Wenzel I, Weltmeyer, Wolkenstein II and Warkant to name a few. Wellesley combines his father’s beautiful temperament and powerful appearance and his dam’s elegance and lightness. He is a very attractive and trainable horse, not only has he talent for dressage, but he is also a scopey and talented jumper. His dam, Esplanade, produced numerous successful show horses both for the dressage and hunter ring. Wellesley’s offspring have been above expectations, highly trainable and attractive horses with lots of athletic ability and a wonderful work ethic. So far each one of them has shown talent for dressage and jumping. His first son Wainright and his brother Waterloo are already successful in the hunter ring, and daughter EM Wildflower, was a high-scoring mare in her MPT (7/8/8/8 and 8/9 for jumping). Another colt, Wolfe, has been Grand Champion at several breed shows, and is now successfully competed on the U.S. Hunter circuit. Two daughters, Waltzing Mathilda (2005) and Wendy Lady (2007) were both Champion Fillies at their AHS inspections. Three of his daughters placed first (8.0) and second (tie 7.83) at the 2008 AHS inspection. With his exceptional movement and good jumping ability, Wellesley’s foals, now just beginning their young careers, have begun to dominate in the hunter ring. Photo by Susan Sexton

In 2005, Wild Dance was Reserve Champion at the Nurnberger Burgpokal Finals. This is the finale of a prestigious show circuit in Germany for seven to nine year dressage horses competing at Prix St. Georges. Wild Dance and Hubertus Schmidt had the highest qualifying scores, routinely scoring above 75%. Wild Dance is nothing short of breathtaking. With elastic movement, natural balance and self-carriage, he is a dream. He also placed fourth in the German National Championship as a young horse. Wild Dance is by one of the best Weltmeyer sons, Wolkenstein II out of a St. Pr. mare by Matcho AA. This bloodline combination has proven exceptional. Wolkenstein II was the winner of his stallion performance testing and went on to sire 41 licensed sons. Offspring Highlights 2007 Colt Windsor VT champion of his inspection. Top colt ISR/Old NA 2007

Comments: Following his 100-Day Test in Germany, Wolkenglanz was stationed at Stallion Station Jens Meyer, where his dressage training started. He was Champion or Reserve Champion at many open competitions scoring 9’s on rideability and gaits in 1999 and 2000. After two successful showing and breeding seasons, he was imported into the USA where he went straight into the breeding shed. His training later resumed with Canadian Dressage Team member Tom Dvorak until an unfortunate injury ended his performance career. Although, his success as a performance horse was halted, his success continues in the breeding shed. His offspring consistently inherit his wonderful temperament, impressive gaits, correct conformation and exceptional rideability and trainability. Congratulations to Heather Ferguson and Wolkenschein 2008 USDF Reg.2 Open Training Level Champions and to Robyn Weston and Willow RW, 2008 USDF Reg.2 3rd Level Jr/YR Champions and 2008 USDF All Breeds Awards (American Han.) 3rd Level Jr/YR Champions. His dam Bianca, herself a full sister to two licensed stallions, produced the Celle stallion Cordoba and the FEI dressage star Worley. Her sire is the legendary Bolero. Bolero has been called a guarantee for producing suspension and elasticity of gaits, rideability and nobility. “Wolkenglanz himself reflects Bolero. He impresses by his nobleness and his extraordinary movements with a comfortable sitting. He is easy to ride and to handle.” ……..from his stallion ad in Germany Semen can be shipped from Canada into the U.S. without any restrictions or
