Boulder Ridge Ranch welcomes "Mel". He has found his way to us, from a very nice lady, Sue Wilson, of FDF Sport Horse in Nevada USA.
Sire: FDF Bet on Me, has had a very successful dressage career, in the USA , and helped Sue rank 10th in the USDF standings.
He also won the sliver stirrup award with the USEF.Barnaul made a name for himself in Holstein as a refiner and jumper-maker. After his career in racing (German time form: 77 kilo), he was successfully shown in jumping tests up to medium level. He sired seven licensed sons, including the Holsteiner Reserve Champion, Barinello, and a Premium stallion called Barsac. Several of his off-spring have already been successful in advanced level show jumping.
Dam: Lolite was very important to Sue and her breeding operation, sired by the ‘Preferent’ stallion Libero H, who competed at the highest level by winning a World Cup final, Dutch Championships and Grand Prix. Lolite is also a half sister to the spectacular stallion NUMERO UNO!
