This SWANA-registered stallion was born 3/9/09. At 16.2 hands and 7/8 Olympic blood, he is a very striking type, with good uphill movement. He has a certified breeding license from ISR/Oldenburg NA and SWANA. He has a very quiet temperament, and although green, he should excel to the Grand Prix level quickly.

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: Friendly Furiosa is twice line bred, in the first two generations, to the immortal Inschallah and the legendary Furioso II. Both of these sires together have had over 15 on the Olympic team in both jumping and dressage. Friendly, her St. Pr. dam, and her sire are all 3/4 blood siblings to the Olympic stallion Heisman. Friendly Furiosa is very easy to ride and has good gaits with a great uphill canter for upper level dressage.
