Lineage
Royal Prince (Sire)
Royal Prince was Reserve Champion at both his 30-day and 70-day Performance Tests. As a five-year-old he won the East Coast Selection Trials for the World Championships for Young Horses and finished in fourth place at the World Championships for Young Horses. He consistently earned 9's and 10's for his walk, 8's and 9's for his trot, canter, and submissiveness. In the fall of 2007, Royal Prince returned to the show ring and the winner's circle with Michael Bragdell. The pair has shown lightly at Third and Fourth Levels, but have already earned Michael his USDF Bronze Medal and a Reserve Championship at the BLM Finals.
Royal Prince's sire Rohdiamant was a highly successful Grand Prix dressage competitor. Grandsire Rubinstein also competed at the Grand Prix level and is known for the excellent rideability of his offspring. Royal Prince's dam Piri Piri is by the influential Thoroughbred stallion Prince Thatch xx.
Parlez (Dam)
Parlez (dam) by Parabol, was the 1997 East Coast Mare Champion with ISR/OldenburgNA. She later won her Mare Performance Test and had a successful career in both eventing and dressage.
Parabol (Grandsire)
Parabol was Reserve Champion of his stallion licensing in Oldenburg and Champion of his 100-Day Performance Testing with 140.32 points overall. He achieved the Honorable title "Champion of Oldenburg" as a 4-year old due to exceptional success at his 100-Day testing and excellent results of his first foal crop. Parabol left a Style Jumping career, where he had been ridden by a young rider to top honors, and made an easy transition to dressage upon his importation to the US in 1990.
Scott Hassler rode Parabol to the USDF Third Level Horse of the Year title in his first year of dressage in 1991. Parabol made the USET's developing horse list and was a top ten finalist for the 1995 Pan American Team. Parabol's development to the Grand Prix in dressage brought further national titles and year-end awards. In the year 2000, Parabol introduced a new rider, Susanne Hassler, to the Grand Prix arena. Now in his mid-twenties, Parabol continues to this day to teach new riders and enjoys a light riding schedule.
Parabol has always been a true gentleman, both under saddle and in the stable. He is absolutely reliable and never confuses his roles as "uncle," "sporthorse," or "stallion." His movement is light, electric, and efficient. His beautiful expression is generated from a clear, active hind leg and tremendous freedom through the shoulder. Parabol provides the easy, adjustable movement and dependable character that makes his influence appropriate for riders of all ages and abilities.
Parabol's pedigree demonstrates clear access for athleticism and rideability. His sire Paradox I, the Westphalian stallion largely credited for modernizing the breed, bears a very solid jumping production record. Parabol's damsire Waldschuetz is by the Hannoverian improvement sire Waidmannsdank, whose production record of talented dressage horses is well noted.
Significant successes amongst Parabol's offspring in Germany put Parabol in top rankings of the German stallion indexes for many years in a row. In 1994, Parabol was ranked 4th by the German FN for stallions in his age group. Some of his notable offspring include: Pretty Woman, a mare who at age 4 sold for 350,000 DM (the second highest price) at the prestigious Performance Sales International (PSI) auction. Picard, a gelding who at 4-years of age sold for the second highest price at the Vechta Elite Sale; and Pijou, a States Premium Mare by Parabol who earned 10's on jumping capability and technique
