Sierra is a very friendly mare that loves attention.   She comes when called and is easy to handle.

We weaned Sierra's foal in October and started her back under saddle.  So far she is proving to be a pretty mellow girl and should make a lovely amateur mount in the future (she is still fairly green so needs more miles first).   

Sierra really enjoys jumping.  She descends from such jumping greats as Silbersee, Cor de la Bryere, Olympic Ahorn & Nimmerdor.  She shows excellent form through the chute and I'm told by several hunter people that she would make a nice hunter.   

Sierra is currently offered for sale as I'm a dressage rider and Sierra would prefer to be a having fun over fences.

Bloodlines:

Sierra is registered with the CWHBA (Canadian Warmblood Horse Breeders Association).

 

Sierra's SIRE is SILBERPFEIL, a 17.2 hh imported Holsteiner with a great disposition.  He carries some of the best bloodlines of Holstein breeding.  SILBERPFEIL is sired by the popular jumper sire Sylvester who produced Olympic Silvano N {Olympic Dressage [Silvano Video]} as well as multiple Grand Prix jumpers including:  South Pacific). Sylvester died young but produced many easy-to-ride and versatile performance horses in Holstein (predominately jumpers). Sylvester had enormous jumping ability with good form and he was very tight with his front legs over fences SILBERPFEIL's pedigree, combines the famous jumping bloodlines of Silbersee (international show jumper who was short listed for the 1988 Seoul Olympics [Silbersee Video]) and Cor de la Bryere (who has produced top performance horses in all three disciplines: dressage, eventing, and showjumping [Cor de la Bryere Video]) SILBERPFEIL's offspring show nice knee & hock action, great dispositions, and excellent jumping ability (often with the ability to snap up their forelegs). Most of his foals possess his size, his presence as well as his intelligence and kind nature.  In Canada and the USA they are already proving themselves up to the open levels of show jumping.

Sierra's DAM is Steelbars Monique, a 1st premium mare with good movement and a beautiful uphill canter.   In 2008, Monique was named Regional Reserve Champion Mare with the CWHBA. Monique descends from such greats as Olympic Ahorn (An international jumping legend with the Dutch Team) & Nimmerdor (Elected in 2000 as "Stallion of the 20th Century" in the Netherlands.  Nimmerdor was 4th in the 2004-2005 KWPN Jumping Index). Monique has produced several foals to win on line at CWHBA inspections including Sierra (1st place futurity winner & Grand Champion Young Horse in 2007),  Foxy Cleopatra (4th place in 2006) & Ulyssa (2nd place in 2003), [Steelbars Monique Video]
