Every year, the Oldenburg North American Registry awards Premium Mare status to the 6 highest scoring mares in each region.
This year, Maryland-breds dominated the East Coast Premium Mare award list by taking 4 of the top 6 spots, including Reserve Champion.
The horses are:
Reserve Champion — Lismore (pictured above), a 2021 Oldenburg bred by Elizabeth Callahan (Cool Na Grena Sporthorses), by Levisonn out of Avalon (Fine Romance).
#3 — Peyton HTF, a 2020 Dutch Warmblood mare bred by Hilltop Farm, Inc., by Kjento out of Raj Mahal HTF (Royal Prince).
#4 — Grace Bay, a 2018 Westphalian mare, also bred by Elizabeth Callahan, by Grafenstolz out of Rehobeth (Riverman).
#5 — Georgia HTF, a 2018 Hanoverian, also bred by Hilltop Farm, by George Clooney out of Unicum-D (Negro).
They are pictured below starting with Lismore at the top and the next three in order of placing from left to right.
Congratulations all!
