GOT RIDEABILITY? We do....and you can too!
Of all the wonderful comments I receive regarding the Babar offspring my favorite and most heard is
"This is the MOST rideable horse I have even sat on!"
I say every day I am so fortunate to sit on Babar. He is an incredible mover with an amazing work ethic. I am VERY pleased that these utmost important attributes are constantly passed on to his offspring! The video above shows a short version of the various aspects of our training program. We use our indoor, fields, and outdoor arenas. This insures all of our horses the variety they need to keep work interesting. Babar thoroughly enjoys working even in his teens. He hasn't even reached his peak! Kelly Winner
Babar consistently passes his qualities on to his offspring, which can be seen in the results of both the show ring and inspections see some recent examples from 2007-08 below

He can be relied upon to produce beautiful, talented offspring of the highest quality, with fantastic gaits, rideability, elegance and presence.
His superior Swedish heritage speaks for itself. The Swedish Warmbloods unlike other European breeds were founded as a riding horses, intended for the cavalry. The national stud, Flyinge was founded in 1661 and is still in operation with some of the best stallions in the world today. Bellini, Babar's sire was only of 8 stallions every to pass through Flyinge and receive a PERFECT 10 for type. He is considered one of the most important foundation sires in Swedish breeding history. This make Babar's lineage so special because he is the ONLY living licensed sire in the USA by Bellini.
Four hundred years of select breeding has produced a versatile horse with a super temperament, suitable for most amateurs but talented enough for world class competition. The key is quality, not quantity.
While Sweden is most famous for producing dressage horses it also produces international top class jumpers. Swedish Warmbloods are most known for their trainability and intelligence making them popular with competitors in every discipline.
