Tony's Pedigree

Sorria - 2001 mare out of Sophia Dahlia (Eval Score: 80.5%)

Maestoso Primablanca ("Adonis") - 2004 colt out of Primablanca (Eval Score: 80%)

Maestoso II Imperea ("Gemini") - 2004 colt out of Imperea (Eval Score: 77%)

Tatiana - 2004 filly out of Tribecca (Eval Score: 77%)

Sezanna - 2004 filly out of Sophia Dahlia (Eval Score: 79%)

Maestoso II Traga ("Titan") - 2007 colt out of Traga

Tony has three foals due in 2007 out of the mares Imperea, Imperea, and Tribecca. Available for purchase in-utero.

"Tony" is, without doubt, the most charismatic horse in the entire barn. He possesses great presence and COMMANDS attention. His temperament is supreme, extremely gentle and willing to please. His movement is very classical and baroque, yet he possesses lovely impulsion and extension. Tony stands 15 hands, with very strong bone structure and joints. His noble head and great, arched neck suggest a Baroque Artist's rendition, and his luminous eyes are all at once, alluring and enchanting. Tony is approved for breeding by Dr. Jaromir Oulehla, former Director of the Spanish Riding School. He said of Tony in the 2003 Lipizzan Evaluations, he is a "very classical, baroque type, just as we should be breeding for". Tony has a beautiful piaffe and is trained in advanced dressage, including the levade, and is schooling the courbette.
