Samaii

Samaii is the First British Bred coloured stallion to license in Germany , as well as the first to pass a 30 day test.

He is one of very few coloured stallions to be awarded Premium at his licensing & 1 of only 4 coloured stallions to be accepted into the Oldenburg Verband studbook.

 A translation of the write up from the ZfDP Stallion Licensing says:

"an exceptionally beautiful and well put together stallion with lots of stallion presence and harmony in his conformation, wonderful side picture and first class movement. His jumping was very good considering his non jumping oriented motherline."

 "For a long time there has not been such a quality coloured stallion at the ZfDP approval and he was awarded Premium status".

 Samaii has excellent conformation with extremely good movements: a good overtracking, relaxed walk, roomy trot & uphill canter - this was shown in his first Young Horse class where he was the undisputed winner of both 3 & 4 year olds.

His 30 day test dressage score of 8.18 speaks for itself & includes 9.0 for both character & temperament.

 Foals

A high proportion of his foals have been awarded Premiums in 2008 & 2009 by both Oldenburg & ZfdP. 2 foals qualified for the ZfDP 2009 National Pinto show where they won Champion & 3rd place.
