Carrera S.E. - 2007 KWPN Mare by Florencio and out of Showbiz by Jazz.  Showbiz is also the dam of Waterloo S.E., the 2007 USEF / Markel 4 Year Old National Champion.  

Carrera is a super prospect for the ambitious professional or skilled amateur rider.  In her show debut at Devon last year, she scored a 77% in hand with 8s on her gaits.  She has three very good gaits, with her walk and canter being particular strengths.

Carrera has been in training since January with Michael Bragdell at Hilltop Farm and is progressing nicely under saddle.  She is a very kind mare and loves her people but is green and needs a confident and soft rider such as Michael.  She is good for the farrier and vet and gets along well with other horses.  She is not mareish at all and is generally a very happy and sweet mare.

Simba - 2009 Hanoverian gelding by Stedinger and out of Hofdame (Hohenstein x Leibniz).

Simba was the 2010  National and Zone 3 USEF / PHR Silver Stirrup Champion for Dressage Sporthorse Breeding (all ages 3 and under).

Simba has three very good gaits and is a future dressage star.  During 2010, Simba showed successfully in Dressage Sport Horse Breeding classes, with consistent top placings at every show attended, including Morven Park, Fair Hill, Stone Tavern, and Dressage at Devon.  Judges' comments praise his movement, elegance, type, correct conformation, and quick and active hind leg. 

Simba is very flashy and has a look at me presence and charming character that win over everyone he meets.  He is proven in Dressage Sport Horse Breeding classes and is an excellent candidate for the FEI Young Horse division later. 

Simba's dam, by Hohenstein, was purchased at the Hanoverian Elite Auction in Verden, Germany and was imported to be a competition horse and a foundation broodmare for Roseknoll. Her highly desirable bloodlines are known to consistently produce  typiness, outstanding movement, superior rideability and temperament, and exceptional talent for collected work.

Stedinger, Simba's sire, was the unequivocal approval winner of the 2002 Oldenburg Stallion Days, where he displayed both his outstanding movement and superb jumping abilities and form. Stedinger is the sire of renowned young sons including Statesman, who in 2008 sold at the Oldenburg Elite Auction for the unprecedented price of e400,000 Euros.

Simba loves people and has excellent ground manners. He is a perfect gentleman to work with: he leads, loads, stands quietly for the farrier and vet and to be clipped and bathed. 

SOLD - Congratulations to Ms. Karen Parkey and Maidstone Farm of Carnation, Washington on the purchase of this fantastic youngster!
