Presidio is a 1994 black-brown stallion who
stands 16.2 hands. He has substantial bone
(9 ½ “) while retaining a very modern
elegance. He comes from a family renowned
for its performance horse and stallion
production. Presidio's pedigree and
performance show great promise for him as a
modern sporthorse sire. Due to an
unrecognized fetlock injury in his 100 Day
Test, Presidio himself was unable to enter
competition. His offspring are showing what
might have been.
Research in Germany has shown that free
jumping is the only portion of the stallion
testing which predicts the jumping ability of a
stallion’s offspring. Presidio’s free jumping is
exemplary, shown by his ability to clear five-
foot oxers easily. He received a 9 in jumping
form and a 9 in jumping potential from the
Hanoverian Commission. Presidio also has
shown talent for dressage, with great ridability
and a very correct piaffe in hand and under
saddle. Additionally Presidio comes from one
of the most revered dam lines in German
Warmblood breeding.
Presidio’s sire, Palladium, is by the well-known
Hanoverian sire Pik Solo whose offspring are
winners in competition and breed shows.
Palladium has continued this tradition by
siring Prophesy, a CDS Freestyle Champion at
First Level and Futurity Champion, Pallas
Athena and Palisade, Olsierlea Breed Show
winners, and the Elite Mare Palladia.
Palladium's son Pfalstaff (out of a Grenadier
mare) was the Canadian reserve horse for the
2010 World Equestrian games. Palladium
himself placed in Grand Prix jumping. He was
also the Grand Champion at the Mid-South
States Combined Training and Dressage Breed
Show.
Presidio’s dam, Windsong, received an 8 at her
inspection. While never in competition herself,
she produced Neptune, a winning event and
dressage horse on the West Coast;
Niersteiner, Golden State Champion Three
Year Old, winner of numerous breed shows
and now starting a career in dressage;
Pathfinder, showing dressage in Texas;
Ganador, a stallion prospect in North Carolina;
and Samarai, an Oldenburg colt who was
awarded First Premium and the champion out
of 24 foals at his inspection site. Windsong is
by the famed Spruce Meadows stallion Wodka
who was shown to Grand Prix under the name
“Young Wolfsburg”. He counts among his
progeny the Grand Prix jumpers Concorde and
Windfall as well as the top hunter Bavaria.
Wodka's full sister is the direct great
granddam of the Grand Prix jumper Robinson.
His dam Elmfruendin is the dam of four
approved stallions ( Wodka, Wind, Wolfsburg
(BWP), and Wigwam F) and the grandam of the
Austrian Grand Prix Champion Da Vinci and the
stallion Wandergesel, and the granddam of the
stallions Wnaderkonig and Wendekonig.
The Vechta Elite foals Desponent (46,000 EU)
and Feuerball (40,000 EU) also descend from
this damline.
Windsong’s mother, States Premium Mare
Garina by Graphit, is from one of the most
distinguished dam lines in Hanoverian
breeding. She is the grandmother of the
German Nation’s Cup mare Sprehe Stella
(Meridith Michaels-Birnbaum). Garina is also a
full sister to the Rhinelander State Stallion
Grandus (sire of the reserve Canadian Olympic
jumper Ghino), the States Premium Mare Gina
(dam of the German Olympic Jumper Prestige
(Franke Slootkak) and the approved sire
Piccadilly), and the States Premium Mare
Grace (dam of the approved stallion Marsflug).
Graphit is well known to Americans through
his sons Grundstein, Graf George, and
Grannus, the producer of top class jumpers
Gland Slam, Top Gun, and Grannush, and as
the dam sire of the Grand Prix stallion For
Pleasure.
SPS Gotenmädel by Gotthard, besides being
the mother of outstanding offspring, is also the
full sister to Gaby, the mother of the famous
Celle Stallion Picard and the private stallion
Wendengott. Gaby also produced the States
Premium Mare Phillipa who was still in active
breeding at age 17 and who is owned by the
Pape family, breeders of Pik Bube, Davignon,
and Bergamon. SPS Phillipa has produced the
Celle Stallion Dobrock, the Flynge Stud
Stallion De la Gardie and two other approved
stallions.
Fusion is by the great dam sire Frustra II. His
daughters appear on the mother’s side of the
stallions Pik Bube I and II, Graphit,
Drosselklang I and II, and the Hanoverian
Horse of the Year Gralsritter. Daughters of
these horses also seem to retain the ability to
produce great performance horses. Besides
the stallions mentioned above, Fusion’s other
famous descendants include the jumper
Garlic, the Nurnberger Burgpokal (German
National) dressage Champion Blind Date, the
Oldenburg stallions Donatelli and Placido, the
Hanoverian stallion Daimler, the RSPI stallion
Der Graf, the ISR stallion Isaiah, and the
Belgian stallion Lanthanid. With so many
descendants placed in stud in so many
different countries, Fusion is honored as a top
foundation mare for both the Hanoverian and
Oldenburg breeds.
Presidio’s foals out of both warmblood and
Thoroughbred mares are very typey with
improved head and necks, deeply muscled
hindquarters and wonderful attitudes. They
also show very elastic movement and are
comfortable to ride. His first foal Prescription
was Champion Stallion at the 2004 Northwest
Sporthorse Breeder’s Classic. He been
Champion or Reserve Champion Oldenburg at
every breed show he has been entered in -
over a dozen to date. He was also placed 2nd
in the Training Level and 5th at First Level in
the USDF 2004 All Breeds Awards and was
Pacific Northwest Dressage Champion at First
Level. In 2005 Prescription was the GOV Horse
of the Year at Second Level. His daughter
Prada C was the 2010 West Coast Future
Event Horse Three Year Old Mare Champion.
