British Warmblood - AES GRADED Stallion -
Approved to breed to 10 of the owner's mares per year.
Eligible to test for the next level which is licensing to
stand at stud for 30 mares per year.
Mikado is only being
sold because we are restructuring our breeding program
and will not be breeding at the previous levels. We are
looking for an exceptional show and breeding home for
this unique and special boy, ideally a home where the
new owner will continue his training and take him
through the stallion approval process. He has a great
mind, calm personality, he enjoys jumping, and has a
great work ethic.

We
are thrilled to announce that GFS Mikado was
awarded the title of "Registered Stallion" status in the AES
studbook at his private stallion grading on
3-31-2020. This means that he can breed up to 10
of his owner's mares per year and should be
presented for "Licensed Stallion" status in the
future when he's more mature, at which point he
can breed up to 30 outside mares. This approval
of "Registered Stallion" will transfer to
his new owner. We bred him to 3 of our mares
this year through AI and they all took with one
collection from him. So he's very fertile. We
bred him because he needs foals on the ground
for permanent approval with the AES. He is also
eligible for licensing with the Westfalen
registry, a process which we've also started. He
was in training for six months prepping for the
grading and being started under saddle. He loves
jumping and had made excellent strides in his
training. He is currently back at our farm while
looking for a new show home. He was bred for
eventing but would also excel at jumping or
dressage. He has a calm temperament and enjoys
his work. You're not going to find another horse
with this coloring and these bloodlines in the
United States.
GFS
Mikado is a rarity in the modern sporthorse
world. His sparkling color of an exotic double
dilute tobiano, combined with his warmblood
ancestry, is truly unique and exceptional.
Mikado is an impressive young horse, a stallion
candidate, with a high percentage of Trakehner/Kinsky
Warmblood enhanced with Russian Trakehner, Akhal
Teke and Thoroughbred. The Russian Trakehner is
known for its performance ability in show
jumping, dressage, and racing, their
trainability, and the fact that they’re easy to
manage. The Akhal Teke is known for its speed
and endurance, excellent temperament and
intelligence, and a shimmering metallic sheen to
their coat, which has led to the palominos and
buckskins being known as “Golden Horses”. The
Akhal Teke is considered one of the rarest, and
most exotic, breeds of full-sized horses in the
world. Both the Russian Trakehner and Akhal Teke
bloodlines in Mikado’s pedigree are rarely found
outside of Russia are ancient bloodlines that
are highly prized and sought after and are
thought of as mysterious and glamourous. Kinsky
Warmbloods are known as Europe’s original “gold
sport horse” and are now considered a rare breed
by the European Union authorities. Kinsky
Warmbloods excel in show jumping, eventing,
dressage, polo, and hunt racing. They are
renowned for their wonderful temperaments, easy
trainability, athleticism, stamina and they tend
to bond easily with humans.
The result of this unique combination of breeds
has provided Mikado the speed, agility, stamina,
and balance needed to excel in an extraordinary
career in any of the three major disciplines of
eventing, show jumping and dressage but also in
the sports of racing and endurance. He has the
perfect combination of bloodlines with the
performance infusion of the exotic Russian
Trakehner, the endurance of the Akhal Teke, and
the refinement and extreme athleticism of the
Kinsky Warmbloods.
Mikado is an
outstanding young horse with exceptional
conformation and powerful build. His movement is
both graceful and strong, with a nice, loose
swinging walk, impressive trot, and the ground
covering canter and gallop of a true athlete.
He’s light on his feet, a fast learner, brave
and willing to please. He loves being around
people and has an excellent, sensible
temperament.
GFS Mikado has a unique pedigree. He gets the
high percentage of Russian Trakehner, Akhal Teke
and Thoroughbred from his sire, GFS Lord of the
Dance, aka Django, who was licensed as a
2-year-old and his sire, Destello, an Estonian
imported stallion, which was unique to British
breeding. Django’s dam, Malibu Breeze, has also
produce two other licensed stallions and is
considered a rarity because she is a double
dilute warmblood that has the power and grace of
her Thoroughbred heritage and the body and bone
of the German ancestry.
Her sire was Malibu Galileo, a 17 hand
Hanoverian eventing stallion who unfortunately passed away
young due to a covering accident. Malibu Galileo was sired
by Gymnast, a prominent dressage stallion, and his sire was
Grenadier, a very important sire whose offspring excelled in
dressage. Malibu Galileo’s dam was Delta, who in 1993 became
the Supreme Champion at the British Warmblood Show after
winning many hunter classes at the county level. Her sire,
Atlantus produced many highly graded offspring and
international competition horses. Atlantus was a foundation
sire for the British Warmblood Society Studbook.
Malibu Breeze’s dam is Great Yeldham who’s
sire’s side contains some amazing British,
French, and American thoroughbreds including
Blushing Scribe, Blushing Groom (he won the Prix
Robert Papin, Prix Morny, Prix de la Salamandre,
and Grand Critérium and was named the French
Champion Two-year-old), Red God (won the
Richmond Stakes and Roseben Handicap at Belmont
Park), Nasrullah (who won the Coventry Stakes
and the Champion Stakes), and Nearco, one of the
most important stallions of the 20th century who
was an undefeated Italian racehorse. Her dam
side is just as impressive and contains Super
Concorde (the highest-rated two-year-old in
France in 1977 who won the Prix de Cabourg, Prix
Morny and the Grand Criterium), Bold Reasoning
(winner of the Withers Stakes in 1971 and the
sire to Triple Crown Winner Seattle Slew),
Boldnesian (Santa Anita Derby winner in 1966)
Primera, My Babu (a French-bred Thoroughbred
racehorse who became one of the most influential
sires in American breeding of show jumpers,
eventers and hunters) and Hail to Reason (1960
American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt).
GFS Mikado’s dam, Charisma, is Westphalian
registered. She is sired by the approved
Trakehner stallion, Camaro, who is an Elite
advanced eventer and showjumper. To date, he is
one of only two Elite colored Trakehner
stallions and is very successful due to his
advanced winning career in eventing and
showjumping and he placed twice at the German
Bundeschampionate. Le Duc, his grandsire, was
reserve Champion of his performance tests with
scores of 9’s and a 10 for temperament. In
dressage he successfully competed to S level
with a performance index of 146 points.
Charisma’s dam is Luminare, one of the few
purebred Kinsky Warmbloods, who is sired is
Hurikan, a rare breed Kinsky Warmblood
showjumping stallion. Kinsky Warmblood’s have
been prized throughout history for their speed,
stamina, vast versatility, athletic ability, and
fierce loyalty. They have competed in eventing,
showjumping, dressage, endurance and steeple
chasing and are renowned for their faultless
temperaments, acute intelligence and willingness
to work.
