A yearling gelding by Sternlicht that has three good quality gaits with an especially strong canter with an active and well-engaged hindleg. He’s also got a good foundation, wonderful expression, and harmonious conformation. Combined with a cheerful, outgoing nature we believe Statesman is going to be a really fun one to bring along as a show horse.

Sire Sternlicht (Soliman de Hus-Rascalino) is a 3x US Dressage Finals Champion who has competed up to the Grand Prix. Sternlicht descends from 8 generations of States Premium mares. His sire was an early standout earning nine scores of 9 or higher at his Stallion Performance Test, competed to the Grand Prix level, and is highly regarded for his stamp on rideability and type in his offspring.

Dam For Fun HTF is a Premium mare with ISR/Oldenburg and Premium Eligible with the AHS.

She has fantastic rideability undersaddle and has been a farm favorite because of her easy nature. Her foals consistently show good movement and two have earned Gold Medal foal awards to date.

Statesman is registered with the Hanoverian Society, is microchipped, and has his USEF Lifetime number and USEF National Passport. At his foal inspection, the judges praised very good hindleg and said this is the type we are looking for. He impresses us even more as he has matured.
