Arrival of the young stallions in the SRS

Four young Lipizzaner stallions from stud Piber arrived in the Spanish Ridingschool, and were presented to the press today! It concerns
  • Pluto Malina
  • Favory Duba
  • Maestoso Bellamira   and
  • Neapolitano Madera
All are born in 2004.
 
You can find a small video about this here:
 
Beside those 4, some young stallions of the same age remained in Piber, as "reserve". (This is a new situation) They will be trained there by the stud personell, guided by "Oberbereiter" from Vienna. After some time will be judged, if those 4 in Vienna are really the best.

  3. Hello Atjan!

    Do you know the pedigrees for the new young stallions? Or perhaps where I can see them?

    I think Pluto Malina is probably a half brother to Siglavy Malina II that Bereiter Anwaerter Bacher rode in the Young Stallions section of the performance a few months ago. Since Piber gives mares a name from an ancestor in their maternal family, I assume that the new M. Bellamira is out of a granddaughter of the mare that produced the retired M. Bellamira that OberBereiter Kottas trained and used in the Pas de Deux. The name N. Madera also seems familiar but I can't think why! The pedigrees would answer the questions...

    Thanks!
    John

    Neapolitano Madera - sire: Neapolitano Nima I (1979)
    Maestoso Bellamira – sire: Maestoso Stornella (1977)
    Pluto Malina – sire: Pluto Servola (1986) – dam: indeed 62 Malina
    Favory Duba – sire: Favory Graina (1994)

    For further details, we should ask Andreas!

  6. Thanks Atjan! I don't recall seeing M. Stornella in a performance but the other stallions' names are familiar.

  7. M. Stornella was the first stallion I trained for Long Rein. He was old when I started him working on Long Rein and had him in the performance for two years. He retired with the age of 23. A big stallion with good gaits.
