Dressage Horses for Studbook/Ster 4-7 YO:

Must B A Dream – (Dream Boy x Endelin E Elite IBOP D-OC s. Spielberg)
Owner: Vicky Chretien
Breeder: Canadream Farm
This tall gelding, Must B A Dream is a well developed and long lined dressage horse, with a long, well shaped and well positioned neck and high withers.  He could be stronger in the loin connection, and has a somewhat sloping croup. In movement he displays a clear and active walk, a supple and uphill trot, with good suspension and reach. He has a 9! canter; it is powerful, uphill and engaged with a lot of ability for collection. He is also very focused, he has a great connection in the bridle and appears very workable. He earned his ster and IBOP predicate today with a good score of 82.5.

Jumping Horses for Studbook/Ster 3 YO:

O’Artemis Royale – (Flipper d’Elle x Jamaica TCS s. Warrant)
Owner/ Breeder: Alice Deblats
This 3 yr old mare is long lined and correctly built.  She has sufficient muscling in her topline, a somewhat sloping croup and correct legs.  In jumping we see a light footed canter, an upward and quick take off with good bascule and good opening of the haunches.  She seems to be athletic and careful.  A consistent and convincing performance over the fences earns her the score of 80 and a passing IBOP.  Congratulations to this new ster and keur eligible mare, O’Artemis Royale.
