Dream Street Stallion Starlight Wins USDF Sport Horse
Breeding "Horse of the Year"
January 2, 2008
 Dream Street Stallion, Starlight,
swept the top honors for a breeding stallion
at the United
States Dressage Federation's annual awards banquet
hosted in Orlando, Florida. Starlight
was awarded the USDF All-Breeds Dressage Sport
Horse
Breeding 'Horse Of The Year'.
The 7-year-old black
Oldenburg
stallion is owned and shown by Rick Silvia of
Dream Street Stallions. Silvia was also informed that
Starlight's score was the highest median score
ever recorded.
Silvia was awarded both a perpetual trophy and
a beautiful
bronze statue for the win. Both prizes will
be
kept on display in the USDF Hall of Fame in Kentucky,
along with a photo of Starlight in honor of his
accomplishments.
The Horse of the Year honor was
one of many prestigious honors that Starlight and
Silvia took home form
the awards ceremony. Starlight also won the
USDF All-Breeds Mature
Stallion 'Horse Of The Year', the German Oldenburg
Verband Mature Stallion 'Horse of the Year'
and the German Oldenburg Verband Dressage Sport Horse
Breeding
'Horse of the Year' Honors. And the stunning
stallion proved he is also a capable performance
horse by
winning res. Champion in the Open Prix St.
Georges
for the
German Oldenburg Verband.
Silvia stepped off
the stage with his arms full with two Championship
coolers, a gift
certificate
from
Dressage Extensions, two gold medals, two
picture frames with
USDF honors on them, a saddle pad, two plaques,
and replica of the bronze that will be displayed
in the
USDF Hall of Fame. For Silvia it was truly
the culmination of a dream.
Three years ago
Silvia
formed his Dream
Street Stallions to offer some of the
most sought after European dressage bloodlines
in the United
States. He imported a few exceptional
stallions, including
Starlight who offers a unique combination
of two highly sought after European lines, Sandro
Hit,
Corduer and
Argentinus. Silvia stands the stallions
at his Dream Street Stallions farm in Wellington,
Florida,
shows
them on the East Coast dressage circuit
and actively promotes them at expositions and
symposiums. The 2007 USDF annual awards ceremony
validated without
a doubt
that Silvia's dream is on track.
 "I am proud
of Starlight's accomplishments," said Silvia, "I
am especially happy for
the mare owners
who are
expecting Starlight foals this Spring
and those who have mares booked to him this
coming season."
Silvia
will continue training and competing
Starlight with their sights set on the Grand Prix
in the 2008 season.
For a limited time,
Dream Street Stallions is offering frozen semen from
Starlight to
