This 2022 colt was a repeat breeding from 2021. Last year's colt, Pavarotti MHF, was quickly purchased by an international 4* competitor. Strad is a strong, balanced and powerful mover and we anticipate a top career for his future. 

​

Knabstrupper stallion, Pax Asgard af Pegasus, is quickly becoming one of the most prolific sires of high quality Knabstrupper offspring in North America. He is proving to be a versatile and powerful horse – Pax is ridden in dressage, driven in harness, and has recently started jumping and is showing serious natural jumping talent. In 2021, Pax competed in the Get of Sire class at the world-renowned Dressage at Devon earning a Bronze with a collective mark of 77.15 points to finish behind serial winner KWPN sire Sir Sinclair and the 7-year-old Oldenburg stallion Davos CF and beating out several traditional Warmblood stallions. Pax and his offspring are paving the way to a spotty and sporty showring.

 

Cholin, is an imported Baden-Württemberg mare who successfully competed up to M* in Europe prior to being imported to the USA. Cholin went on to a very successful hunter and eventing career in the USA with an adult amateur who competed extensively in top rated shows in the 3’6” division, consistently placing in the top. Cholin is a one-of-a-kind mare – she is an incredibly hard worker and incredibly loyal to her rider. She is smart, patient, and willing.

 

Cholin is not only an exceptional mare but also an exceptional producer. Cholin’s 2010 colt, Diachello, competed in the 2021 Olympics for New Zealand’s eventing team under Jesse Campbell. Cholin’s 2009 filly, Bavaria, is jumping S** under Heinz Roevenich. Cholin’s sire, Chello I is a son of legend Contender and a dam by Sandro, combining Europe’s jumping elite in his pedigree. His damline Holstein 318d2 is ranked # 3 worldwide with over 26 approved stallions in the last three generations among which Diarado, Corofino, Coriano and Mill Reef VDL. Cholin’s paternal granddam, Garcia III, produced an outstanding 5 licensed sons. Cholin’s dam, Louisiana V, only produced two offspring before Maren Bentes began Lousiana V’s successful dressage career which led the pair to compete up to Intermediate I & II (S***). Louisiana V’s dam, Chila V, produced several top horses including Balimba V, who jumped under Jouline Jackels.
