Pablo to Three Crown Farms in The United States
October 26, 2003
 We
already
knew this news more than a week ago, but decided
the issue needed a follow-up. The Westfalian stallion
Pablo has been sold to Three Crown Farms in Woodinville,
WA, United States. Three Crowns' owner Colette Ross-Prince
purchased the talented bay stallion in Sweden, where
the bay was standing at stud. Pablo will be the third
'member' of Three Crowns Farm, which is already standing
Rubignon (Oldenburg, Rubinstein x Donnerhall) and Vivaldi
(Swedish wb, Napoleon x Brabant).
Pablo is a 14-year old bay stallion by Pilot out of
Monic (by Matrox x Lancelot) and was premium licensed
in Munster Handorf in 1990. For his Stallion Performance
Test in Medingen in 1991, Pablo scored a nine for trot,
canter, rideability, jumping ability and performance
suitability. He was Reserve Champion of the test, finishing
second overall with a score of 136.22 points.
Pablo was competed in Germany from A to M level in
show jumping and participated in the Bundeschampionate
in 1993 and 1994. He has over ten licensed sons, of
which Pablos Glück, Pocahontas, Presley, Pablo
Picasso, Prinz Pablo Pablito and Papparazzo are the
most famous.
Although Pablo has pure show jumping bloodlines and
was shown as a jumper, the stallion is of high value
for dressage breeders due to his superb basic gaits.
Three Crown Farms is mainly dressage oriented, but believes
Pablo's jumping talents to be an additional forté.
"We consider Pablo's talent and hereditability
for jumping talent to be a super bonus for the mare
owners we serve," Colette Ross-Prince said, adding
that, "the extreme shoulder-freedom and strength
from behind sought after for dressage is exactly what
the jumping horses also need for big fences."
Three Crown Farms likes to maintain a wide perspective
on breeding and keeps its options open by adding a versatile
stallion such as Pablo to their breeding program. "We
want the absolute best movement and mind for dressage,
but with talent for hunter/jumper/eventing if the mare
or owner should want to go in that direction,"
Ross-Prince explained.
