Melodie is
a 16.1 hand Mecklenburg mare. Melodie's pedigree is full of "blood"
and is not a pedigree that is commonly found here in the U.S.
Her sire, Lonely Boy is by the legendary Landgraf I, and out of a
Farnese mare (Assa). Lonely Boy did his stallion testing in
Germany and was 5th in jumping with an index of 119.07 and 7th overall.
This line, 104A , has produced such notable stallions as Capitano,
Carneval, Chico's Boy, Corland, Contendro and Landego, as well as
sport horses Retina, Athlet, Corlanda and Athletico. In fact, Assa
was also the dam of the previously mentioned Carneval.
Melodie's damsire
Monsun is the sire of two licensed sons in Germany and both had careers
in the jumper ring. Melodie produced one foal in Germany, by Matador
xx, before being imported to the US and according to her breeder
in Germany that horse is currently showing on the jumper circuit.
She also has a 1/2 brother currently competing in Germany
at "S" level jumper competitions, ridden by Renaldo Daehling.
Melodie
herself had a very successful career as a level 6 jumper before being
transitioned to the hunter ring. She continued to show her talent
in the Adult Amateur hunters, which is a testament to her style and
temperament. In the Adult Amateur hunters she had top ribbons at such
large shows as the Aiken Spring Classic. We are thrilled to have her
in our broodmare band and can't wait to see what she wil produce for
us. Big thanks to her former owner, Jennifer, for letting her come
to us!
