Her Sire Orestus is a world class stallion that has competed at the highest level including Olympic Games, CSI**** and Puissance! A stunning looking stallion with lots of quality and top class pedigree such as Indoctro x Ramiro Z x Erdball XX. Orestus is the best horse I have ever ridden in my life. Since the first time I sat on his back, it was an unbelievable feeling as his style of jumping and scope are something special.
He is such a big character. No matter how big and wide the fences are, he fights for you and always gives 110% in the ring. For myself, I felt lucky to have the chance to ride a horse with his qualities which made me very confident jumping at my first Olympic Games.And if I need to do it again, I will choose Orestus. No doubt about it.- Juan Andres Rodriguez. Orestus is one of a handful of Irish-based stallions to have competed at the Olympic Games! His career, competing up to 1.60m level, saw Orestus in action around the world from the Pan-Am Games in Rio de Janeiro to the Beijing Olympics.Orestus had the versatility to place in a variety of classes from Puissance to 1.50m classes at international shows such as Madrid, s’Hertogenbosch and Oslo in Europe; in World Cup qualifiers, (placed sixth in the 2007 Monterrey qualifier, won by Hong Kong silver medallist, Ninja) and at the 2007 Pan American Games (individual 15th place & member of the sixth-placed Guatemala team).Orestus, with Juan Andrés Rodriguez, also claimed 42nd place at the 2008 Olympics.
Lady” is yet another choice of a Cavalier broodmare. This mare competed at Mini Grand Prix level (1.35m) before retiring as a broodmare.A very careful mare with a great technique, she clocked up 25 showjumping points while her half-brother, by Furisto (click here for pic) sold to the US for a substantial five-figure sum - is now jumping Grand Prix level.Her third foal, a colt by Guidam, qualified for the Irish Horse Board Colt Retention Scheme! Highland Lady must be one of the only mares with the rare Cavalier Royle - Samiel bloodlines who should produce versatile sport horse foals.
Sire: Cavalier Royale, a Holsteiner stallion who has had a huge influence on Irish Sport Horse breeding. He was a great cross with Irish mares and he produced some top jumpers i.e. Amos, King Cavalier, Captian Christy etc etc all of which are competing Internationally. He himself had a very successful career jumping Internationally for Switzerland at Grand Prix level. His progony have been very popular topping sales prices for years and also leading all the young horse classes.
Cavalier Royale is by the great Selle Francais Stallion, Cor De La Bryere, ranked 23rd in the 2001/2002 W.B.F.S.H stud book. He is responsible for five out of the top six jumpers in the Holsteiner stud book, which was the leading jumping stud book in the 2002/2003 W.B.F.S.H.
Dam(Not Recorded): Ennistymon (ISH) is a broodmare, by Samiel (TB).
Samiel - a Croker Cup winner at Dublin Horse show - stood in Co. Clare and Wexford before he was sold to Scotland where he established himself as a sire of Eventer S and was awarded a Super premium at the HIS Newmarket Stallion Show.His stallion son - Mill Law - is an Advanced eventer and has produced some exciting performers. These include:* Run of the Mill, a prolific performer in BYEH classes, then reached Advanced level and won at Necame Cci ** in 2005 with Rodney Powell.*Cotton King, winner of the BYEH 4y.o final at Burgley and runner-up in the PAVO BE Breeding Championships in 2006.* Mill on the Floss - another big in-hand winner for Mill Law.Susannie, also by Samiel, was the third highest placed mare at Badminton in 2005.
