BRILOTTA
(Olympic Briar x Elite Kasparow)
2012 SWANA Mare
Brilotta is 18 hands, a Grade 1 Swedish and Premium registered ISR/Oldenburg approved mare. She is by Olympic Briar and out of one of the highest-scoring imported Trakehner mares by the legendary event sire Elite Kasparow. Brilotta is extremely quiet, very sweet, and possibly one of the best proven warmblood broodmares in the USA, with a beautiful 2017 filly by Ovation. She is totally sound and has never been lame. She was green broke and very easy to ride, and will be restarted under saddle very soon.
Right now, she is being sold as a broodmare, but her price (low five figures) will most likely double once she is started again.
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: Carlotta II (Kasparow x Coquette/Tivano) is a 2002 Trakehner mare imported from Germany with a rare, top performance pedigree we believe is otherwise unavailable in the U.S. She is an OSB mare, to whom the Trakehner Verband gave a score of 54 (77%. She is premium with Oldenburg NA (109 points), Class I with SWANA (9 for her trot), and was High Score Non-Hanoverian Mare at her AHS inspection. 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. Carlotta is an incredible moving international prospect. All scores were 7-8.5.
BRAVA COR RAY
(R Cor Ray x Paloma)
2009 AHHA Mare and Premium for ISR/Oldenburg
2 years old
Brava is 17+ hands and extremely wide, with breathtaking movement - very safe, but sensitive and powerful. She has the much needed push, scope, and form needed in the Grand Prix jumper ring. She is a very expressive and a powerful jumper over fences like her international Grand Prix jumper dam and can also be a dressage horse with her ground-covering, elastic gaits. AHHA judged her a Premium foal with 8 for type and 8 for movement. She has been Mature Mare Champion Horse of the Year for USDF and has placed at Dressage at Devon.
She is a proven broodmare: dam to a 2017 colt by Opus, O' Boy, who was USDF DSHB Horse of the Year Champion both years shown.
Sire: R Cor Ray was a Premium ISR/Oldenburg colt and recommended as a stallion prospect. He 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, was 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. She has produced an I.J.F. winner, all premium foals, and an approved stallion, Creighton.
Dam: Paloma is an International Grand Prix Jumper and imported Westfalen mare who has won over $118,000 in her career. She was a USA World Cup Wild Card. She was Gold Medal Winner of the 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. After coming to the USA in late 1999, her riders included Patty Stovel, Laura Kraut, and Vince Ansley. Paloma was one of the US wild card entries in the 2002 Nations Cup held in Donaueschinggen, Germany. After winning the mare show at 3, every event ever entered, every class ever ridden in, both in the USA and Europe, she never placed lower than 13th out of huge classes. She is still held in high regard and is used as a major selling point at the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V.ir Breed auctions. 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.
