Scores 7.8 (Type) 8.2 (Movement) 7.7 (Overall) Total 7.9
 

This stylish talent reminds dressage riders why they fell in love with warmbloods for this discipline in the first place.

  In Vogue, a chestnut filly with four white socks and blaze, has a large uphill frame supported by substantial bone.  Oh yes……she has a thick tail that would love to "cord up” like a Hungarian Komondor dog. 

  Her natural stride covers and hovers over the ground with ease and can instantly adjust with ease the length while maintaining balance and rhythm.  When this “standard’ is “built-in” asking her to repeat it undersaddle will be appreciated by riders and trainers who have visited the heartache that comes when a horse can’t physically comply.

When loose, In Vogue’s powerful thrust in her lengthenings is thrilling.  When she rocks back and loads her hind end, her piaffe, passage play inspires the hope dressage riders desire for a Grand Prix prospect.

In Vogue has started the backing process and demonstrates an open and interested attitude, a clean slate capable of fulfilling her potential and that of her partner.

Her dam, the 17+h Dutch mare, Freisa, was selected for the Ultimate Piaffe breeding program for her uphill frame and the text book way she lifts her forehand up and out when moving.  Her pedigree includes Purioso, Furioso II, Joost and Abatz.  Relatives Olympic Cocktail and Arnold Thor, Grand Prix stars, remind us of the possibilities.


Freisa Dutch Mare

In Vogue was born and bred at the Ultimate Piaffe and has been handled and cared for with appreciation and love.  Although she was just recovering from a cold, In Vogue, as a foal,  received 7.8 in conformation and type, 8.2 in movement and 7.7 overall at the Oldenburg N.A. evaluation.  Her final score of 7.9 was just below the premium award of 8.0.  She is registered and branded Oldenburg and will be eligible for evaluation as a mare and would be eligible for the USDF All Breeds Awards.

 In Vogue should make 16.3 or better and displays quality of character and athletic ability that should get the “thumbs up” from the discriminating trainer who must approve the prospective buyers purchase.  The only scenario that might cause a snag is the trainer might decide they want In Vogue for themselves.  Yes, she is that good! Price - Private Treaty.

  She is IN STEP (and now she is SOLD!)

                      

Yet another splendid IDEAL horse is heading for Florida. Pamela Lynn of Ocala, is the new owner of In Step by Ideal.  In Step, a 2001 Premium foal, placed 2nd in North America out of over 500 foals in the 2001 ISR/Oldenburg inspections. Pamela teaches and trains dressage at her farm Paloose Ranch.  She is also active in showing horses.  Besides training In Step in dressage, Pamela plans to jump her.

                        Ideal x High Steppin Granny **

2nd PLACE   for 2001 out of over 500 foals presented

In Step was bred by the Ultimate Piaffe and was welcomed into the world on July 7, 2001.  Her arrival was anxiously anticipated hoping that once again this particular breeding would produce one of the top foals in the country.  Her quality was instantly recognized.  She has a notably feminine type without losing substance or frame size.  In fact, her height and weight is the same as her stable mates out of warmblood mares.  She has a deep rich chestnut coat with four neat and balanced socks…uneven socks can be distracting to some dressage judges. 

In Step’s dam, High Stepping Granny (Step) is a premium rated two star thoroughbred mare that has had 5 foals.  Four of them by Ideal and one by Gauguin de Lully.  All but one were premium and remarkably all of them were ranked as one of the top foals in North America from their individual foaling season.  In 1998, Ivanhoe was ranked 4th and in 1999, Inge was ranked 2nd both by Ideal and scored out of over 500 foals each season.  In 2000, Gauguin’s Next Step by Gauguin de Lully was tied with two other foals for 1st place again out of over 500 foals.  Step is a phenomenal mare.  She has movement that is uncommon to thoroughbreds although she is the very essence of femininity.  Her freedom, regularity and suspension in her movement are correct and impressive.  Step competed up through Second Level in dressage.  As an example of her willingness the Ultimate Piaffe strives to produce, Step was shown by a 10 year old child who was a beginner.

In Step is by the German approved and imported Oldenburg stallion, Ideal.  Ideal is consistently one of the top Oldenburg stallions in North America.  He is the sire of ABIC/USDF Champions, USDF All Breed Champions, Hunter Champions, Event Champions, USDF Breed Show winners, Material Class winners and Premium Mares.

On September 9, In Step was presented to the International Sporthorse Registry and Oldenburg N.A. for evaluation and registration.  Spectators were anxious to see if Step’s filly would rival those of the past several seasons.  No one was disappointed.  When Step and her filly, In Step, made their way around the triangle, the crowd burst into applause and hoped and hollered their approval.  In Step just burst into an even more extravagant trot with a powerful swing and supple rotations over her back.  It appeared that she was trotting across a trampoline, each stride in balance and rhythm.  It was the best trot of the entire inspection; a good movement sore was expected.  As the lovely filly came back to the apex of the triangle, the gorgeous dark chestnut filly turned her face up towards the gathering of breeders and enthusiasts.  The lovely creature captivated the crowd and with dazzling elegance and intelligent expression it was clear that what makes In Step special is more than her world-class movement.     The last three High Steppin Granny foals received 9.0 either in conformation or movement.  In Step did not disappoint.  The ISR Champion received a 9.0 for her exceptional movement and an 8.5 for conformation, 8.5 for overall impression for a total of 8.7 overall.

In Step’s oldest sibling is a 16.1 hand mare that has tremendous bone and substance.  These crosses aren’t at all lacking in bone, which one sometimes sees in warmblood/TB crosses.  From her very first recognized competition, Indiana Ho won her Training and First Level classes with nearly all scores in the 70’s.  She also joins the cowboys and quarter horses in the weekly team penning nights and stands tied to the trailer while the participants celebrate.  Oh, and Indiana Ho regularly goes on 50 miles rides.  Her owner says it is the horse of her dreams.

Ivanhoe, the 1998 colt by Ideal out of Step,  is excelling in eventing.  You can see a photo of him and his owner, Brooks Lyons, in the 2004-5 Ideal stallion ad.

In Step will probably mature at 16.1 and will have the correct bone and substance as well as size and frame.  With a 9.0 in movement, it is obvious that In Step could excel in dressage.  Her quality is such that she could have a future later on down the line as a wonderful broodmare but go out and win first!  Finally, In Step is  adorable and delightful.    She is a world class horse with “back yard” love

8.5 - 9.0 - 8.8 = 8.8 Premium
Champion Premium Filly

The Dutch mare Delightful (The Ives call her Westerdam), a Premium mare by Zephyr/Alme Z out of Pandora by Patrick presented with a beautiful bay filly on June 12.  Ibiza has a white star and stripe and is very sweet.  This elegant filly was bred by the Ultimate Piaffe.  

Delightful's  pedigree reads like the Who's Who of the International jumping ring.  Through her grandsire Alme Z, Delightful is related to Galoubet, I Love You, Hidden Creek's Alvaretto, Crown Royal Albonnie, Ahorn, Jalisco B and Alcatraz.  Delightful's sire, born Zephyr and shown under the name McArthur, is himself a very successful Grand Prix Jumper.  Dressage enthusiasts in North America will recognize Delightful's dam's sire, Patrick as an outstanding producer of AHSA/USDF Dressage winners including the FEI Level gelding, Keys.  Before we purchased Delightful, she had produced several NWSHA Champions.  When we presented the 17.2 h grey mare to the ISR/Oldenburg N.A. jury she was awarded Premium Status (one of only 21 mares in 1998) for her excellent conformation and her swing and elasticity in her trot. 

Ibiza was very impressive at her ISR/Oldenburg inspection in August 2002.  That "something special" she was born with really came out.  Ibiza has lovely expression and a wonderfully round topline.    She moves with an  abundance of freedom and elasticity, perfect suspension and powerful engagement.  Ibiza has a large round frame and beautiful neck and head.  She hsa super bone and correct angles.  She will finish 16.3 to 17 hands.

Ibiza is currently available for purchase for $16,000. Call Carol Ives at 503 638 7716 or e-mail carol@ultimatepiaffe.com

Isadora Lofty and Loving

                                                                    

 

 


ISADORA1998 Premium Filly by Ideal and TB mare.  Isadora is black, turning grey and should mature around 16h.  She has a very friendly, loving and dependable temperament.  She is easy to work with, is a quick learner, has a nice work ethic and truly seems to enjoy being ridden.  Recently started under saddle, she has 3 very nice gaits, and no buck or spook.  Her extraordinary canter looks like she belongs in the hunter ring and her unflappable attitude and willingness would be perfect for any discipline or rider.  Due to a lack of time to take this special horse to her potential, she is sadly offered for sale.  Isadora is in Pullman, Washington and more pictures can be viewed at www.horsehound.com.  Contact Lisa Dilling, 509 334 3234, lisa@horsehound.com.

Isadora is in training for dressage and jumping and would make a fancy hunter prospect. She is level headed and dependable, a fantastic mover with tons of scope and 'WOW' factor. 

Isadora has been acquired by 15 year old Tori Smemesh. Lisa Dilling says they make a great team and will be competing in three day eventing and jumpers.  (Tori .. we are looking forward to pictures of you two.!) Isadora will be stabled at Gold Creek Equestrian Center near Seattle.


 

One of Florida's Most Talented Horses ...

"Wolf" 1996 Oldenburg/TB Gelding 16.2 dark bay has fantastic form over jumps. Beautiful trot with natural cadence. Gorgeous up hill and balanced canter. Wolf  (first named Interpretation of Dreams)  was purchased in December of 2001 from the Ultimate Piaffe by Sarah Law of Winnstead Farms, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida ... as an investment. He had been started second level dressage by the Ultimate Piaffe and has since begun his training in the show ring as a hunter and low level equitation horse. He has spent the last year showing 2'6". He has been schooled at 3'3". Wolf and Sarah were Reserve Champion pre-adult equitation with George Morris as judge in 2002 in Gainesville, Fl.

He has had  professional training with Scott Hofstetter. (Maclay winner 1989).

"Wolf" (a 1996 Oldenburg/TB gelding 16.2) has been labeled an "extremely talented fellow" by several trainers. He definitely has the potential to do 3'6" and excel at a number of disciplines. We believed "Wolf" will make a fabulous equitation horse, very nice hunter, or even eventer. His natural balance, bravery and willingness to jump make him a talented and very versatile ride for the intermediate to advanced rider. He is also an extremely nice mover with three wonderful gates. He has been a lot of fun and a pleasure to work with over the last year. He loves new challenges and adores trail rides.

IXTAPA IDEAL COLT FREISA DUTCH MARE

                     More Views      

 Freisa (the Ives call her Ryndam) a Dutch mare by Benjamin/Purioso/Furioso II out of a Joost  mare foaled on June 28 2002 and produced her lst Colt for the Ultimate Piaffe.  The bay colt has a blaze and 3 white socks.  Ryndam’s 2000 filly by Ideal, Ilissa, tied for 2nd out of over 500 foals tested.   The leggy bay colt was given the barn name Levi because Val Zeek said he "came out doing a Levade". The colt's registered name is Ixtapa. 

Freisa, our bay, 17 hand + Dutch bred main mare book mare produced her first foal for The Ultimate Piaffe in 2000. Ilissa, a grey filly with high socks and a blaze. Ilissa received 8.5 scores across the board for Conformation, Movement and Overall Impression. Ilissa received a PREMIUM AWARD WITH A SCORE OF 8.5! . These very high and very balanced scores tied ILISSA AS THE 3RD HIGHEST SCORING FOAL, (THE ONLY FILLY) OUT OF 510 FOALS PRESENTED IN 2000! , was named after Carol and Victor’s youngest daughter Melissa, and like her names sake Ilissa is both wonderfully sweet and a bit of a princess. 

Freisa has produced several breed show winners including USDF young horse champions. She has a young son showing at AHSA/USDF competitions with a junior young rider at first level . . . he is very tall, bay and quite a good mover.

When we selected Freisa as a brood mare for the Ultimate Piaffe we were especially impressed with her natural uphill frame and the ease at which she elevated her front end as she moved. We also saw several of her offspring by various warmblood stallions. Each offspring we viewed, without exception, possessed flexible, powerful and extravagant dressage movement. They also are remarkably consistent in type, taking on their mother’s attractive look and large frame and size without being heavy or course. One of the stallions Freisa was bred a few times was a son of the Dutch stallion "Oldenburg" who is by Inschallah (Ideal ‘s sire) so we felt like we could predict, even more clearly, what kind of foal Ideal and Freisa would produce. When Ilissa was born, we were taken with her affectionate nature (most foals, unsure of which body to bond to in their first few hours of life, are not afraid of humans, but within six hours newborn foals become shy and more difficult to approach) and her trust and fondness of people never went away. 

Freisa's 2001 Filly by IDEAL Scored 7.8 (Type) 8.2 (Movement) 7.7 (Overall) Total 7.9 in the 2001 ISR/Oldenburg NA Mare and Foal Evaluation and is also available for purchase

IXTAPA  scored 7.8 - 8.0 7.9 = 7.9 at the ISR/Oldenburg Evaluation. 

IXTAPA has been acquired by Anne Harrison an F.E.I. rider from Spencertown, New York. (above)

7.7 - 8.5 -  8.0 = 8.0 Premium Foal Award

There has been much excitement over Proxy’s 2002 colt, ImmerChips.  Would the liver chestnut demonstrate the truly exceptional movement possessed by his three full siblings, Immerwyn, Immerstar and Immersonne that received premium status with individual movement scores of 9.0, 9.0 and 8.8!

The oldest, Immerwyn and owner Canadian Dressage rider Virginia Allen, won Championships Training and First Level, Breed and Show series Highpoint with scores up to 82.5%.  Currently the gray gelding is 17.2h and winning at First Level and the FEI tests for 5 year olds. 

Immerchips is perhaps the most attractive and correct of them all.  Dr. Barb Crabbe, Equine Veterinarian, freelance author and FEI Dressage competitor is most impressed with “Chips”.  He is her absolute favorite of the season.

With glorious anticipation, Proxy and ImmerChips were turned out on a sunny morning.  Within three trot strides there were oohs, aahs, whoops and applause. 

If you have missed out before on an IDEAL- Proxy foal, don’t let this awesome colt with the international movement pass you by. SOLD
