Gold Rush is a top oversize prospect for sport or breeding. Measures 14.3h at 2 years, expected to mature 15.2-3h. She is bold, elegant, and extremely people-oriented. Three good gaits and a very nice type, she has a good engine behind her and demonstrates good elasticity and use of her body. Offspring by this top sire are hard to come across, and he may never be available to NA breeders again, don’t miss out!

Sire Golden West is the only pony outside of Germany to hold a prestigious NRW title from Westphalia. He was the Reserve Champion of Westphalia at 3 years old and was the Gold Medallist at the prestigious Bundeschampionate as a 3 year old. Continuing his success Golden West was the Bundeschampion Gold Medallist once again as a 4 year old, after scoring 9.5 trot, 9 canter, 9 walk, 10 and 9.5 from the guest riders. Golden West proved his excellent rideability and character as he continued to stay in the top sports rankings with young rider, Julia Rohmann. In 2016, he was awarded the Bronze Medal for 5 year olds at the WBFSH World Championships for Young Dressage Ponies. He then gained a Silver Medal at the Bundeschampionate as a 5 yo. Standing at stud for a season in California, where we were lucky enough to secure this breeding to him, Golden West was the US Pony Cup National Champion at L (Elementary), M (Medium) and S (Advanced) levels. Now exported to Australia, he continues to impress up the levels of sport and shows great promise for the FEI level work. Golden West has already proven himself a top producer, with many high scoring and champion foals. He is the sire of many licensed sons as well as State Premium daughters, and his first offspring are beginning to impress under saddle at young horse championships as well.

Dam Lady Ramona xx (Meadow Prayer xx/Pauliano xx) is dual approved GOV and Weser-Ems, scoring well for her beautiful type and conformation. She produces foals who are correct, have exceptional character and temperament, and are easy on the eyes, while letting the stallion’s best qualities shine through. Lady Ramona is not just a one-off example of good sporthorse type and temperament, but comes from a strong and consistent mare line; I have not only ridden this mare myself, but also her dam and full brothers and they share the same qualities making them very suitable for sport.
