Horses Unlimited, Breeding Stars in the United States

You’ve probably seen Horses Unlimited’s stallions at some of the largest horse shows in the country. Their Pik Bube II son, Pik L, won five PSG and I-I classes at the 2003 and 2004 Dressage at Devon with all scores above 70%, was fourth at the 2003 Pan American Games and was on the gold medal winning team, and first placed individually, at the 2005 Junior National Team Championships with Noel Williams.

Two other Horses Unlimited stallions, Wild Dance and Leonberg, have also earned high accolades. With Hubertus Schmidt, Wild Dance was reserve champion at the 2005 Nurnberger Burgpokal Finals. This is the finale of a prestigious show circuit in Germany for seven to nine year old dressage horses competing at Prix St. Georges. With Dr. Cesar Parra, Leonberg was second in the grand prix for special at the 2005 Dressage at Devon. And that’s not to mention their Olympic horse Galant du Serein, Adonis, Noble Champion or Glorioso Noir.

And if that was not enough top bloodlines, two other young stallions have also recently joined the collection—the Lord Sinclair son Lord of Dancing, and the Diamond Hit son Donovan, who was the Vice Champion at the 2006 Bundeschampionship (the German National Championships) and the 2005 Champion at the same show.

While you’ve heard of their stallions, did you know that Horses Unlimited is quietly breeding the next generation of international stars right here in the United States?
