Four Star Farm Trakehners In Competition

Jefferson

Owner: Natalie Rooney Pitts

This 17.1-hand gelding, competing Intermediate Level in 2012, is Natalie's big lap dog. He's an escape artist extraordinaire, opening his stall door to drag in the huge bag of carrots kept in the cross-tie area. He also likes to open the other horses' stall doors and invite them into his place for sleepovers. When he's finished his grain, he enjoys flinging the bucket into the barn aisle as a hint that he needs seconds! A talented eventer, Jefferson, barn name "Jedi," is also schooling upper-level dressage movements, including piaffe (video).

Shares are still available in Jefferson Group LLC. With an initial investment of $5,000, and a tax-deductible $3,000 per year for five years, you enjoy the benefits of furthering the career of a horse bound for international competition, including the Olympics. You'll receive monthly updates as well as perks such as VIP tickets to events like Kentuckey Rolex.

Syrius - Sold. Congratulations to Olympic silver medalist Gina Miles on her acquisition, now to be known as Sunsprite Syrius.

Born in 2008 and standing 17.1 hands. Seriously...this Trakehner gelding is for the serious competitor. All joking aside, he is overflowing with talent and has it all: type, athletic ability, conformation, good feet, fabulous movement in all gaits, and above all an incredible temperament. He's a scopey jumper, quiet, friendly and eager to learn and please. He is schooling First Level movements easily, jumps courses with impressive technique and has bravely schooled cross country. He is a shoe-in to win the Young Event horse competition in 2012.

Aladdin
Tribute to Aladdin

Owner: Natalie Rooney Pitts

Bred and trained by Natalie Rooney Pitts, Aladdin, by Tümmler out of Ally Oop xx, was in the top-10 list of the most successful event horses in the United States in 2002. With Natalie competing him, Aladdin placed sixth at the CCI**** Rolex Kentucky in 2002, one of the most prestigious events in the world. The pair also represented the United States at the CCI**** in Burghley, England, and competed at the World Cup Finals in Pau, France, 2004.

Elfenwind

Owner: Madeleine Moore

Windfall, Elfenwind's sire, was retired from competition in 2009. By that year he had earned enough United States Eventing Association grading points (now called "award points") from wins and placings that he was, and still is, the second-highest scoring horse in the history of eventing in North America, behind only Winsome Adante.
