I've done a few articles on the stallion Quaterback when he was the hotsy-totsy stallion du jour. I was, and am, a big fan, and was thrilled to see one of his sons, Qredit, at Devon as a yearling. Then I was distracted by Totilas, and... Well if you get the Hilltop Farm newsletter, as I do, you learn things. Qredit is now owned by Hilltop. He's coming 3 years old and is now a big, gorgeous grown-up boy. He was named the Champion Stallion at ISR/Oldenburg Licensing. Congrats to Hilltop, to former owner Michelle, and to breeder Judy Yancey who must be busting buttons over this. Below is an excerpt from the Hilltop Newsletter, and if you need an adrenalin rush, check out his video (adult footage starts at 45 seconds)!
New to the Hilltop Farm line-up in 2011 is the Oldenburg stallion Qredit. Bred by Judy Yancey of Florida, Qredit represents three generations of her breeding program and traces back to her foundation Trakehner mare Helena whom she imported in 1977. Qredit’s dam, Dream Rubina, is a Premium Oldenburg mare that is by the Grand Prix stallion Dream of Glory (grandsire to our Grand Prix horse Douglas Hilltop). From the legendary Donnerhall-Pik Bube combination, Dream of Glory proved his value as a breeding stallion siring 4 licensed stallions and over 20 S-level competitors, Bundeschampionat winners, and high-priced auction offspring. Granddam Reina H has produced an impressive 8 Premium offspring with the GOV and is the dam of the licensed stallion Sirringo (Sir Donnerhall).
Drrrroooool! He is gorgeous. I can't get over that lofty trot; actually, why do some horses trot that way and others not so much? Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow. Well, if you`re offering... I suppose I could oblige ;) I know you`re not supposed to buy a horse for their colour or markings, but seriously; talk about gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI feel like taking a laptop down to the yard to show my cob Caffrey "erm, mate, THAT'S what trot is supposed to look like..."
ReplyDeleteGorgeous to watch, but not sure I would want to sit that trot!

ReplyDeleteI had wondered why he wasn't at Devon this year, then I saw that video. Baby grew up! God can he move.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely. But I get worn out watching the handler run with him. Boy, do you have to be fit to show a horse like that in hand!
ReplyDeleteLove the suspension.
My mare really needs to watch this! Ha ha. Wow, wow, wow, WOW!
ReplyDeleteSoooo beautiful, I had to watch that video twice. What an incredible stallion. That trot... it's perfection.
ReplyDeleteHis trot is stunning and a 10 for canter!? I would love to have a few minutes on his back so see what that trot feels like.
ReplyDeleteWow, he is fabulous. And chestnut, too... could he be any better?
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW!!!
