Note: We're now offering two different formats of video. The first is the universal mpg format which we used in the past which plays on all machines. The second is the newer mp4 format which is compatible with most recent machines and software. The advantage of the mp4 format is higher quality and double the image size for approximately the same sized file. You should use a recent version of Windows Media, Apple Quicktime or some other utilities (such as VLC) in order to play the mp4 version.

Well, last year we thought that Ella was the most stunning dressage filly we'd ever seen. This year, the same genetic cross has produced Barack.

Barack is the colt equivalent of Ella, without a shadow of a doubt! In fact I'll go out on a limb and state here that he may even be better than his sister! Just like his big sister he floats at least a foot above the ground with the most amazing elasticity, suspension and style you'll ever see! He is also blessed with beautiful looks including a wonderful front. Barack has that look-at-me presence in the way he stands and moves. The video shows his amazingly quick hock action in an extended trot (at 5 weeks old!).

Barack's sire is the influential and prepotent Broer Jazz (more commonly simply known as Jazz). Jazz epitomises the modern Dutch dressage sire and apart from his own proven Grand Prix ability has produced a large number of high performing children including several licensed stallion sons. His progeny show excellent movement in all paces.

Barack's dam Mary Poppins is a lovely big chestnut mare who has dressage star written all over her as she moves around the paddock showing off her babies. She is by Walt Disney, a leading Hanoverian sire and half brother to Weltmeyer.

Walt Disney placed 1st in his 300 day performance test in 1989 and his progeny show significant refinement in conformation and dressage ability. Walt Disney horses are highly sought after in Europe and prized but rare in Australia as he is no longer available by frozen semen. Mary Poppins' dam side deserves mention too as she has several occurences of Dark Ronald as well as Precipitation. These two thoroughbred sires appear in many of the world's greatest dressage horses in the European scene including Jazz himself!

Our first filly from Mary Poppins was purchased by Heath and Rozzie Ryan. Her second, by Brentano II is currently retained by the stud. Her daughters of course have the advantage of being from a mare conceived from frozen semen which will give them an increased likelyhood of being able to conceive to frozen semen themselves.

Barack is a big elegant uphill colt who shows wonderful elasticity, balance and flowing paces. He is particularly noticeable for his expansive movement, free shoulder and quick hock action. With his sensational presence, truly amazing movement and proven Grand Prix producing bloodlines on both sides there is little doubt that will go right to the top in a Grand Prix home.
