Elegant gelding that is an excellent 3 ring prospect. Three quality gaits, good form over fences, and easy going temperament. He is started under saddle and would suit a good riding junior or amateur in a program. Full brother, Bootes(2017), has become an excellent all around mount for his amateur owner. Full sister, Bellatrix (2019), has found her way to California with an adult amateur. Full sister, Bianca (2021), is started under saddle and has the temperament to be used for equine assisted therapy in addition to being developed by 4* event rider Cristina Rennie.
Sire: Belshazzar
Proven performance, soundness, and longevity. At 21 years of age, Belshazzar is still sound and competing with an adult rider. He successfully competed in the FEI divisions up the CCI4* level in eventing. He is by the KWPN stallion Beach Boy. Beach Boy is sired by Nurzeus (Zeus) whose offspring have earned more than 3.5 million DM. His dam is by the equally famous Lucky Boy xx. Beach Boy’s impressive pedigree is confirmed by his performance and breeding results in Germany, Holland, and Sweden. Belshazzar’s dam (Aphrodite) is the full sister to the dam of Buenos Aires (Amphora). Buenos Aires was the first Canadian Warmblood to participate in Eventing at the Olympics in 2008. Here is your chance to purchase one of very few offspring by Belshazzar. Belshazzar is used primarily as a competition horse, so there are limited opportunities to purchase his offspring.
Dam: Cassiopia
Cassiopia’s pedigree is packed with proven performance and soundness. Sired by the Holsteiner stallion Challenger (Cor de la Byere x Lord), Cassiopia brings a top jumping pedigree to the table. These foundation Holsteiner stallions have made significant contributions to the jumping pedigrees of multiple breed registries. Dam Gemini (Gervantus x Bajazzo) contributes performance and longevity. Gemini’s offspring have been sound performance horses with great regularity. Eridani was her first foal and she competed to the Advanced level (and FEI 3* level) of eventing and is now competing with an adult amateur on the east coast. Imastar competed to the FEI 2* level in eventing before finding a home in Florida with an adult amateur. Iofthestorm started an eventing career before finding a home in the hunter jumper world. Raya I is a graduate of the 2023 fall sale and is now being developed for the show world. Her last foal, Buzz Aldrin, was the 2021 foal futurity winner and a graduate of the 2021 fall sale.
