Dressage At Devon Results

[Equinoxfox]

Can someone please tell me of a website that will post the finishing results for the Breeding classes at Dressage At Devon.
I have a friend entered to show tomorrow ( Tuesday ) and I want to keep up with the placings.

Any Advice ?:)

This might be what you are looking for..I don't know if they update it daily, but at the end of the page is 2009 results, they also have a facebook and twitter...

[Oldenburg Mom]

Arrrrgh. I'm dying to know what's going on ... anyone know anyone on the ground??? How's it going?

[JY]

All I know is that my homebred colt, QREDIT, just won the yearling colt class out of 23 colts! I am so excited for his owners, Chris and Michelle Coursin. (Qredit was the first born Quaterback over here and out of my mare Dream Rubina ; Dream of Glory - Rubinstein)
It's a big time for my mare Reina and her line; she had a son licensed out in Ca. by GOV last week - Sirringo by Sir Donnerhall and she is also dam to the 3 year old filly I took to the USDF SE USA Championships this weekend that won Grand Champion filly with a score of 89.4........ Qredit's dam is another of Reina's daughters.

[Oldenburg Mom]

CONGRATULATIONS JY ... s that Judy Yancy? Congrats congrats congrats.

Pictures please!!

[acottongim]

JY. Congrats! Saw your QB colt go very nice! I'm thrilled that Mt colt was 3rd in the volts class for 3 year olds behind 2 iron spring farm colts!

[Oldenburg Mom]

Are you there acottongim?

[acottongim]

Yes I am.

[Oldenburg Mom]

Yes I am.

So,... tell tell. What's going on ... who's winning beside JY (and Hilltop/IS :lol:) who looks wonderful,... how many horses have escaped,... c'mon, we're all living vicariously through Y-O-U!!! :lol: Did you see any of the under saddle classes,... etc. etc. etc.

[acottongim]

On a blackberry which is hard to post on. Will update when I can get to a real computer.

[siegi b.]

Hi Anissa!
Did you take Tatendrang? If you did - best of luck to you in your classes!
Best,
Siegi

[West Winds Farm]

Hi Anissa,

Congratulations:) That is HUGE to place after ISF!!!

I would really like to know how the yearling filly's went.

Hope you are getting lots of pics. Best of luck Thursday. I think you will clean up (as in win it):)

Say HI to Bruce and Staci. They are just great.

[patch work farm]

Not trying to steal your thread, just trying to keep Devon results together. I do not know all the details but just received a call that Lauren Dearlove of Parade Field Farm in Lovettsville, VA WON the 3 year old Materiale class on Karan Schwencer's filly, Wild Rose by Widmark out of EM Berlina!!! Yay Lauren, congrats to you and Karan as well!!!

[Oldenburg Mom]

Whoop whoop whoop! Way to go, Lauren! Congrats ... ANYONE that can take home a blue at Devon has busted their proverbial derriere, either breeding, or training.

Congratulations to everyone. I'm just dying to see the scores, .... and everyone I know who placed.

[Fairview Horse Center]

Maryanna's filly, won her class and I believe was Res Ch filly - Lovely girl!

O'Mom, WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE?!?!?

JYm Congratulations, Your boy is really NICE! :yes: :yes:

[acottongim]

Quick up date while I have access to the hotel internet...

Scores are kind of all over the place - some really high, some really low, some are fair/good scores, some you scratch your head.... typical I suppose.

Maryannna's filly, Duet (that did so great in Atlanta last weekend) was a star again today. She won her class and was Res Champion. Really nice filly. (weanling) The Champ of that class was Fabrrege (I have that spelled wrong I'm sorry). Not sure who got any after that - I went to dinner. I only saw the 4 year old suitable to be a dressage horse. Not sure I would have placed the horses the way they were (like I said I had a few head scratch moments) but over all pretty nice horses.

Siegi - yes I brought Tatendrang. Scores were not great but THRILLED with the placing. Same judge will see him on Thursday - if Tate can get it together and chill by then maybe he'll improve in the scores also. Got to love a 3 year old breeding stallion the first time out after his first breeding season LOL. 13 in that class so not shabby.

Over all very nice horses. I think one of Caanan Ranch's fillies won her class - not sure which one though...

[VolteVT]

Congrats to Maryanna and Duet MF! That filly is awesome!

[cottagefarm]

All I know is that my homebred colt, QREDIT, just won the yearling colt class out of 23 colts! I am so excited for his owners, Chris and Michelle Coursin. (Qredit was the first born Quaterback over here and out of my mare Dream Rubina ; Dream of Glory - Rubinstein)
It's a big time for my mare Reina and her line; she had a son licensed out in Ca. by GOV last week - Sirringo by Sir Donnerhall and she is also dam to the 3 year old filly I took to the USDF SE USA Championships this weekend that won Grand Champion filly with a score of 89.4........ Qredit's dam is another of Reina's daughters.

Congrats Judy

Well deserved!

[YankeeLawyer]

Over all very nice horses. I think one of Caanan Ranch's fillies won her class - not sure which one though...

The Rascalino filly, maybe?

[West Winds Farm]

http://dressageatdevon.org/cms/ The web site looks like you can "follow us online" but it is mostly a teezer on facebook with most people looking for the results. Maybe they are having tech. difficulties:confused:

Congrats to all there. Hope to see pics soon!

[hansiska]

It's too bad it's not available via livestreaming!

Canaan has two Rascalino fillies, a two and a three year old, Rascaletta and Rascalla. Both incredible and both out of the same Londonderry mare. They also have a very, very nice yearling named Denecia by Donates. I wouldn't be surprised at any of them winning their classes at Devon!

[titansrunfarm]

Really tickled to see 'A Dream' bred by Margret Gafford in 3rd place of yearling colts/geldings. Hometown fave, you know! Plus I own his older half-brother :)

Results are up:

[hansiska]

Tuesday results now up! (Scroll to the far right for scores).
http://dressageatdevon.org/cms/2009pdf/2009DADBreedDivResults-Tues.pdf

Nancy Holowesko's filly, Marmara, won the filly championship and came in second in the young horse championship!!!! Woohoo!! Huge congrats, Nancy!!!

It was Canaan Ranch's filly Divinity who won her class -- Fillies of 2009.

[hansiska]

Nancy's Filly also won the Filly Final!! And Kristin Grosso's filly Limelight was Reserve in the Final!! Wow!! Huge congrats to both!!!

[Oldenburg Mom]

Sorry, FHC ... I really want to be there, and I'm there in spirit.

WOW! Did you see the scores? The colt championship class ... only 4.2 points between the top and the bottom. This is so great, ... look at the classes! Many many ties ... we are really doing a good job—considering how long we've been at it—breeding.

Noticed that Alison Head tied with ISF in the Colt/Gelding 2009. Way to go, Alison! AND, Perfect Qredit walked away with the young horse championship.

And, not that I resent them (ISF & Hilltop) ... but it's nice to see some of the smaller breeders/owners walking away with the top prizes, as opposed to everything being Hilltop/ISF.

Mr. Joey is getting ready for his suitability class ... at 8:30 this morning. I'm sooooooo nervous! Tina, his trainer, has worked very very hard with him, so while he won't win the class (that's too much to hope for, after all, this is DEVON!!! :lol:) I'm so proud of them both I don't care where they place. I gave her the following instructions before she goes in the ring: HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!

P.S. I'm so nervous I'm shaking. :lol:

[Sunnydays]

Also, great results for Kris Schuler with her 09 filly Bellatesse, and her 2 yo Panache!! Awesome.
And Kate Palmquest also showing well with her yearling Fonteyn. Congrats indeed!

[idlemoon]

Winner: China Doll by Cabaret x Rhodiamant mare
GOV mare, gray

[idlemoon]

Sir Sinclair took first and second

[DownYonder]

Congrats to all who did so well!

Wow, what a week for Judy Yancey! Her homebred filly Finale by Fuerst Heinrich out of Judy's wonderful Rubinstein daughter Reina H earned an 89.4(!!) to win her Filly class at the Sunshine Classic in Florida, was named Grand Champion Filly and SE Series Finals Champion Filly, won the Oldenburg IBC, and was High Score of show. A few days earlier, a stallion bred by Judy out of the same mare was licensed for Oldenburg breeding (Sirringo, sired by Sir Donnerhall), and now Qredit (Perfect Qredit), a Quaterback colt out of Reina H's daughter Dream of Glory won his colt class at Devon, was named Colt Champion and Young Horse Champion! Many kudos, Judy! :cool::yes:;)

[idlemoon]

Rosentanz by Rosenthal

[Oldenburg Mom]

Awww, there's nothing like Devon to get the pulse racing!!! Mr. Joey is now getting ready to go into the Materiale class. Ann Gribbon is the judge ... don't know what she's like ... guess I'm going to hold my breath!!!!

[idlemoon]

Reserve: China Doll x Cabaret
Champion: Rabiola X Metall
94 percent in her broodmare class Wow!!!

[Home Again Farm]

Wow, what a week for Judy Yancey! Her homebred filly Finale by Fuerst Heinrich out of Judy's wonderful Rubinstein daughter Reina H earned an 89.4(!!) to win her Filly class at the Sunshine Classic in Florida, was named Grand Champion Filly and , won the Oldenburg IBC, and was High Score of show.

Finale is a gorgeous girl and I give Judy a high five and bravo, too for breeding her and showing her so beautifully last weekend. However, my homebred mare Wolkenstanza was high score of the SSHA show with an 89.9 in her Mare Class on Saturday. She won her Mare CH that day and on Sunday was SE Series Finals Champion Mare. That is okay, as her win was sort of in JY family, as I bought Wolkenstanza's mama Rohanna from Judy in 1999 when she was a newly imported yearling. :winkgrin:

[idlemoon]

Sabati x Sandro HIt was second

Aesthete x Trento B was first

[Oldenburg Mom]

Mr. Joey got a fourth in his materiale class. He's a little sore behind, so I'm thrilled Miss Tina didn't push him. *HE* comes first!!!

I'm simply exhausted... just sitting here in front of my computer. I don't know what's worse ... being there or here!!!

Elly ... thank you so much for being soooo nice. And you know, it could only happen with the breeders!! Rastino's mom was just wonderful ...

WHeeeeew. Another year, another Devon.

Thank you so much Lori for a wonderful time ... I had a ball (even though I wasn't there!)

[CathyKb]

Big Congrats to everyone!!!!:):)

OM - Especially BIG CONGRATS to you and Joey!!!!! (I really cannot believe that you did not go, you know letting work interfere with horsey stuff is not cool.:D;))

[staceyk]

I believe Somer Hit, who won the 3 year old suitable and materiale classes, was bred by Mo Swanson. Was that mentioned? Did anyone see him go? I didn't get to the grounds early enuf and I didn't stay late enuf to see him.

You can see footage I took of Qredit in the yearling class at http://www.behindthebitblog.com/2009/09/perfect-qredit-quaterbck-yearling-colt.html -- apologies in advance for the camera work, I am getting used to my new camcorder. A few other runs are available too, including Delmar ISF, Rascaletta, Bellissa, Desert Rose, and tonight I'll post a few more -- mostly yearling colts and 2 year old fillies.

[West Winds Farm]

Thank you for posting some video. I look forward for more!:)! Qredit is amazing. Congrats.

Oldenburg mom, I was holding my breath with you. I just happened to be by the computer. Mr. Joey did wonderful for not being 100% You have to be very proud.

Best wishes for tomorrows group:winkgrin:

[MagicRoseFarm]

Somer Hit was LOVELY in the 3Yo materiale, definitely stood out above the rest, looked like an old pro..... He effortlessly seemed a total delight to be riding, very happy and quite proud of himself while very easygoing , with incredible and very rhythmic gaits.. he is quite an impressive boy,,

I think we will see great things from him in the future.congrats..

[Hilltop Farm Inc]

A huge congratulations to owners Michelle and Chris Coursin and to breeder Judy Yancey --- Perfect Qredit, the stunning Quaterback-Dream of Glory yearling colt was named Grand Champion of Dressage at Devon last night! Qredit lives at Hilltop Farm and we couldn't be happier for everyone connected to him. Iron Spring's wonderful mare Rabiola was Reserve Champion.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day at Devon today and throughout the rest of the weekend.

[Cartier]

Congratulations to Judy Yancey and the Hilltop team. Qredit is lovely, it will be nice to follow his progress in the years to come. We have a "guest" Trakehner mare (whom Judy bred about 20 years ago), retired/staying with us now. I think of Judy and her breeding program often. Nice to see her enjoying such great success... Judy is a model for us all.:yes: And of course Hilltop does a lovely job as well. Kudos to you all.

[Oldenburg Mom]

Perfect Qredit, the stunning Quaterback-Dream of Glory yearling colt was named Grand Champion of Dressage at Devon last night!

HOLY SMOKES! A yearling!!! WOW! That's just amazing. I don't think I've ever heard of a yearling being GC. Well done, JY! You must be doing cartwheels!!

I'm thrilled with my 3rd & 4th. I cannot imaging what it must feel like to get a 1st place, or a GC. I honestly think it must be ... surreal!

WestWinds and CathyKB ... thanks very much both of you. As usual, the CoTH family is just the best! I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to share successes ... and failures. {{HUGS}} to you both.

And you too, HAF!!!!! Thanks so much ... big {{hugs}} to you!

[Home Again Farm]

Huge congrats, Judy! That is quite an accomplishment, particularly for a yearling. It goes to show what great mares can produce.

OMom, you go girl!

Congrats to all!!!!!

The colt is gorgeous, to be sure, but a lot of kudos goes to his handler and the team who prepped him so well. Well done!

[Oldenburghorseweb]

Congrats to all!!
Judy, I'll try to call you again soon for that interview!

In the meantime I do have videos up of Divinity CR from Canaan Ranch and of Sp.Pr.Ca. China Doll. They aren't from Devon, but from the Oldenburg Show the week before. Both are fantastic fillies/horses, and I'm not surprised at all that they did so well. Go to: www.oldenburghorse.com

Congrats to Nancy too on Marmara! I was with her when she bought her at the auction. I'm sure her breeders are on Cloud 9 now!

[JY]

I definitely agree that kudos go to Hilltop and the team that prepared and presented Qredit. And to the Coursins who stayed on their path to get Qredit out to compete.
Qredit is not the only stunning individual that I have produced here over 34 (!) foal crops. It just goes to show that few get the chance to get out in the limelight. A breeder is lucky to have a foal go into the "right" hands, especially breeders such as myself, who must market their foal crops to stay in business. Such is the nature of horse business I guess.
But, this week I am grateful to the owners of Sirringo, for going the distance to stallion licensing (as they had with the colt Rasta that I sold them also) and to the Coursins for starting their path to success with Qredit.
Maybe Qredit's big win will help bring attention to the high quality of foals that are being produced in the USA, and increase awareness for buyers to look to home markets for their next superstar?? Qredit is THREE generations of USA bred, German Oldenburg registered foals.

[Equinoxfox]

Pleaze post any pics you have . Would love to see how all the wonderful Youngster are looking . :D

I am so glad you pointed this out. I agree 100%, and had exactly the same thoughts when I saw the DAD results as I have often admired your youngsters over the years. So many stars have to align to get a big win like that. There are many very high quality youngsters available in this country but without very astute and knowledgeable management of their careers, they will not reach their potential.

Many, many congratulations for your youngsters' successes.

[Oakstable]

Judy,
I don't see how you could have produced 34 foal crops.

When did you start?

[JY]

Hah! You mean I look so YOUNG????!!!
My first foal crop was in 1975. I had a Canadian TB mare and a 1/2 Trakehner mare bred to my Trakehner stallion Beaute'. I produced a big liver mare (Lyrik) that went on to compete to Prix St. Georges and a handsome gelding that won many breed shows and went on to a successful hunter career, named Nimrod.
How many of you remember THAT stallion of mine? I had him from 1974 to 1981. He was a BIG black stallion, sire of Hadrian. Hadrian was chestnut out of my BLACK mare Helena. We laughed long about that one.

[DownYonder]

Judy,
I don't see how you could have produced 34 foal crops.

When did you start?

I believe Judy started breeding WBs in the mid 1970's. JY, is that correct?

[miakoda]

Not to change the subject, but can I ask a question. Are the judges at Devon allowed to ask you to not use your whip person or a follower in the ring, even if you know your horse will move better with someone chasing it?
And, I was wondering if it is OK for the judge to ask your horse's breeding prior to/ or while the horse is being judged?

[Calvincrowe]

Congrats to all! I'm not a breeder, but admire all those who produce such lovely animals. Us Ammies thank you:)

I have to give a shout out to Jessica Wisdom, a young(er) trainer from Washington who made the long drive to Devon with her (she owns half, along with North Forks Welsh) "hony" Welsh Cob stallion, North Fork's Cardi. They were Stallion Champion and Reserve Mature Horse yesterday.

They'll also be showing in I-1.

He is the cutest little guy, and Jessica has worked long and hard to get him there. Woo hoo!

[Lyss]

Cardi is co-owned by Cindy Miller of Winterlake Welsh, but was bred by North Forks Welsh. Cardi was also recently approved Weser-Ems and RHPSI as well as a successful debut in I-1 - it's been a huge year for both his owners and well deserved congratulations to both of them.

That is so cool! Does anyone have photos of him?

[Lyss]

That is so cool! Does anyone have photos of him?

Quite a few photos at www.winterlakewelsh.com . I saw him perform at PSG last April - and came away quite impressed by both Cardi and his trainer, Jessica - a refreshing, hard working team.

[Calvincrowe]

Lyss-- had a brain cramp on that ownership thing.

His website is www.eqequestrian.com

[cottagefarm]

Yeah! Team Cardi :D

I think Jessica als has another young horse there too?

Cardi is the daddy of my 4 month old filly Chica and I bought a breeding for another of my mares for next yr coz I loff this one soooo much!

Congratulations, Judy! If I didn't remember Beauté I wouldn't believe you could possibly have 34 foal crops under your belt, but then again, I remember Mikado, too. Ring a bell?

Thank goodness for the anti-aging properties of horse hair!

[ann kitchel]

Judy, A big congratulations to you! How proud you must be for producing this fabulous colt. I think I know how you feel!!!
Way to go!

[ann kitchel]

By the by, Of course I remember Beaute........we are the same vintage. I bred my first warmblood cross in 1977. Good old Gambrinus...............
We have come a long way and were pioneers in warmblood breeding in the US..........How cool is that!
Best, ann

[tabula rashah]

Pleaze post any pics you have . Would love to see how all the wonderful Youngster are looking . :D


Just got back and have thousands of pics to go through- will post a link a soon as I get them up, most likely tomorrow night or Sat am. Maybe you all can help me with some identification on some of them- LOL!

[RedMare01]

Congrats to everyone!

[Edgewood]

Well, I didn't take a computer to DAD and am just back for the night.

As always, the quality of horses at Devon is amazing. Qredit was amazing, most especially his walk and actually the very best trot of the night was in the Victory lap for the Grand Championship. Michael said that even in practice Qredit had never trotted so large. Nancy Holowesko's Marmara is beautiful and a very lovely filly!:)

Somer Hit was super in the Materiale:yes::yes::yes:. I saw OMOM's Starbuck and he deserved his high placing:D. This afternoon I watched some LOVELY 4, 5 and 6 year old FEI tests. Nancy Holowesko must have the record for her 3 geldings out of the same mare all competing under saddle at Devon :yes:. All did very well and placed highly in the classes. Steinway in the 5 year old FEI test, Sabati in the Suitability and the FEI 4 year old, and Federer in the 3 year old Materiale and Suitability. The first 2 are full brothers, and the latter is a half-brother. Federer was only under saddle for 2.5 months and he was second and third in LARGE classes - REALLY amazing given that he was just started:yes:.

Lots of lovely horses all around. Looking forward to seeing Cabana Boy go in the next few days. He is the star of the NA bred - from DAD Champion to FEI young horse Champion at each age.

[J-Lu]

Congrats to everyone, and also congratulations to Melanie Pai for her stellar youngster Divinity and for winning the "born in the US" title. Moreso, congratulations to Mauro (aka King) Garcia, handler and young horse trainer extrordinairre! Wooo!

[Marydell]

Marydell had a super Devon.
Our 09 filly, Fabrege MF (Fidertanz/Diora/DeNiro) now owned by ALice Tarjan, was second in her class and Reserve Foal Champion.
Duet MF (Don Principe/EM Rotina/Rotspon) won her class, was high score BITUSA Yearling filly and won the MAHB High Score award.
Fuerst Dancer(Fuerst Heinrich/EM Rotina/Rotspon) was 7th in her in hand class as well as Material. SHe is almost 5 months pregnant.
Marydell Farm's Breeders Group finished second behind Melanie Pai's group.
Today was our highlight though, DUet won the HAnoverian 2 and under class, Fabrege was third and Dancer won the 3 and older IBC.

Thanks to all thepeople who helped to make thispossible for us--Brendan Curtis, Hannes Bruning and his friend Tim, over from Germany, Bruce and Stacy Griffen for all their help. But MOST importantly, my husband who supports this crazy endevour of mine!!!

Maryanna Haymon

2007 USEF Breeder of the Year!

[MoSwanson]

Thanks, Kris, for the update. Your fillies went well and Bellatesse is amazing. I'm sure you'll love it when you get her home. Congrats to Alice Tarjan, who bought Somer Hit from me as a foal (at the time his name was Sheldon). She did the riding in the materiale class as well as in the Suitable to Become a Dressage Horse, and she did a great job showing off those amazing gaits of his. He was the Born in the USA winner- my third time winning one of the BITUSA awards. Last year, I bred the BITUSA champion, so this year when I sold a horse, I sent in some sponsorship money. It is a great program, and much appreciated by us American breeders. Congrats to Michelle Coursin, Judy Yancey, and the gang at Hilltop for the show prep. Qredit was so mature looking (and acting) for a yearling!
Kris, can you tell me- how did Whirlpool do?

[Edgewood]

Kris, can you tell me- how did Whirlpool do?

Whirlpool did super yesterday!!:D I had rushed home and forgot to get my book from the trailer before I returned to DAD, so I don't have the exact scores and my memory isn't the best. But I believe that he got at least an 8.0 overall and the judges were VERY complementary on his complete and total workmanlike attitude and gave a high mark for rideability. He also got compliments from the judges on his uphill changes that were also very obedient, the medium trot and his very good walk. They said at times he needs to become more uphill but that he is a super riding horse. I also think that he was in first place until the end, when the Pik L offspring ridden by Mikaela did its test.

[my girls]

We had a very good show with our filly Limelight, she was the USDF Breeder's Champion East coast series Reserve Champion filly, she was also 2nd in the Hanoverian class and 4th in the yearling fillies.

She showed herself very well in the championship class. I thought she was a bit tense in the other 2, so considering that I was quite happy with how she did.

[Schiffon]

We were in a nice barn location overlooking the gold arena so were able to watch alot.

Mo, Whirlpool had a very nice test: T 7.8, W 7.9, C 7.5, Sub 8.5, Gen Im 8.4, Overall 8.02. The judge made a point of how correct his training is.

Loved Marmora and China Doll. The latter was listed as being bred in Germany and her sire is Cabaret. Therefore, I assume this is different from Hilltop's Cabaret and if so, what's the scoop on the sire of this lovely mare?

Was disappointed to see that in the Suitability and Materiale classes a number of riders rode like it was a saddle seat class - how fast and flashy can you go with front end action and rigid backs? And unfortunately, some of these horses placed well. Some of these placings I understood because their competition had much lower quality basic gaits and/or severe disobediances but others I disagreed with.

Our fledgling breeding program had a very good first time at Devon. Our Schiffon colt, Velluto, who is out of the first mare I purchased specifically to complement Schiffon, was 6th in the 2009 colts (out of 22 or 23) and won the Trakehner IBC. Scores were 79.1 and 78.5.

[Jesse'sMom]

while up here visiting my sister i stopped by DAD... i was shocked at all the scratches & how small the classes were compared to previous years, like AHS over 2 only had 4 entries!! I wonder why all the scratches??

[YankeeLawyer]

while up here visiting my sister i stopped by DAD... i was shocked at all the scratches & how small the classes were compared to previous years, like AHS over 2 only had 4 entries!! I wonder why all the scratches??

Maybe because of the really bad economy? I think in the next few years we are going to be seeing very small classes at breed shows, not only because showing is expensive but also because breeders are putting fewer horses on the ground. My vets are telling me that I am one of only a few of their clients who had a foal crop this year and have one on the way for 2010.

I think the economy had a huge effect on the Devon entries. Show was over by 4 or 5:00 each day. Sometimes it has run until 10 for the East Coast Championship classes & IBCs.

This was the first time in 15 years I had no entry, and sometimes in the past, I have taken 6, entering multiple classes, etc.

LeaAnn, China Doll is by Hilltop's Cabaret. She is lovely, isn't she?

Loved Marmora and China Doll. The latter was listed as being bred in Germany and her sire is Cabaret. Therefore, I assume this is different from Hilltop's Cabaret and if so, what's the scoop on the sire of this lovely mare?



Klaus told me that Angela Barilar imported China Doll as a weanling and that she is not by Hilltop's Cabaret. I guess Scott and Susanne Hassler came over to check and Klaus confirmed that it is a different Cabaret. She is REALLY lovely.:yes:

Actually it did run to almost 10 pm on Tuesday night. The was because the East Coast Filly Finals expanded from about 12 horses to about 36 horses with the new rule of scoring at least a 77% and thus qualifying. It was a LONG filly class.:yes:

Kris, could there by two fillies named China Doll by Caberet?

Does this look like the mare at Devon?

That has to be the same China Doll. I was not at DAD This year but I find it highly unlikely that there would be another China Doll by Cabaret that also happened to rock VADA/NOVA just before Devon. Also, the China Doll owned by Marilyn Fawley was bred in Germany by Heinz Wulf, and was imported by Angela Barilar (High Point Hanoverians) as a foal. And unless there also happens to be another Cabaret that is Cor de la Bryere x Landgraf I, China Doll is by Hilltop Cabaret, though she was born abroad, not in the US.

Same mare. I was just going by what Klaus told me (and Scott and Susanne) that it was a different Cabaret and that she was imported by Angela....

She absolutely was imported by Angela, not sure about that Cabaret part (but it is understandable that someone might assume, given that she was born abroad, that it is a different Cabaret). Regardless, nice mare!

Darn, didn't see my guy. I brought a weanling colt by Sempatico, LJS Shiitake. He was a bit nervous being off farm without mom for first time so didn't show as well as he did at Fair Hill Dressage Breed Show where he won the RPSI class, but I was still very happy with him since by the end he really calmed down. Such a good experience for him. He came in 4th but he also was the only baby and was up against full grown and under saddle ones so not too shabby. We had such fun catching up with old friends.
