Congratulations Jan Palmer, DACVS. You and Dax will do wonderful things in the future!!

Wonderful Premium scoring gelding. Champion colt of his 2015 Oldenburg NA inspection with a 8.2 for movement (8.1 for a final score). He has a bright future in any of the sport horse disciplines. Dax shows a natural ability to move from behind and suspension. He has a friendly and curious nature and loves to be scratched. Clips, loads, hauls, good for hoof trims. X-rays done in April 2017 show clean joints. Started with ground work, and can lunge with saddle, bridle and boots. Dax is very rewarding to work with, and enjoys being with people.

His full brother, Dragon Fly, was tied for the highest scoring foal in the 2009 Oldenburg NA tour with at over all score of 8.8, and a 9.0 for impression. He was sold to Mary Burke of Ellensberg, WA as a yearling, and she showed him in-hand and competed with him in Eventing. She has listed his accomplishments as-
"2011 Won Chablis USDF prospect in-hand with a 77.7%
2011 Won the Future Event Horse two year old division at Rebecca Farms with a 79.2%
2011 Awarded the Reserve Champion Zone 9 Hunter Breeding 2 year old division.
2013 USEA Young Event Horse Series 4 year olds, fourth place overall with 8.0 on general impression and 8.5 on rideability. final score of 78%
2014 scoring 76% at dressage shows with 8.0 for gaits, impulsion and submission."
Dragon Fly is now owned by Kate Suggs, and is happily continuing his eventing career in Monroe, WA.

His full sister, Dahlia, was presented as a yearling for registration and Christian Schacht thought her a perfect example of what breeders should be striving for and a "once in a lifetime horse." She was shown in hand as a yearling and received scores as high as 80.5%. As a 3 year old, Dahlia was again presented to the Oldenburg NA and received a Premium Mare award and was ranked 2nd on the West Coast. She is now showing in dressage, and has received 8 in gaits, and scores in the high 60% in her first year out.

Dax shows all the potential of his siblings. Expected to mature around 16 hands.
