Hunter
Crest's Breeding Barn ...
The
objective of the Hunter Crest Breeding Program is to produce some of
the highest quality Hunter, Jumper, and Dressage prospects in the
world.
Our Breeding
Program is currently small but expanding. It is built
around an exceptional stallion and
five quality broodmares.
Hunter Crest Farm has found that the International Hunter Futurity
(IHF) yearly competition is one of the very best gages of successful
Hunter/Jumper breeding. We are heavily influenced by the
IHF program and its competition in
selecting breeding stallions and broodmares for our
breeding program.
The
IHF Program
is in fact the world's premier Hunter competition. The objective of
this program is to promote excellence in
Hunter competitions for
yearlings, 2 -, 3 -, and 4 - year - olds of all breeds and
nationalities. This competition
awards
over $150,000 in yearly prize money to the owners of nominated
stallions and their gets. Since its inception, approximately $3,000,000
in prize money has been awarded
The following stallions are the top 10 IHF
producers of all time. This data is as of 2004 when these results were last published. Shown
are their rankings, name, and the total
IHF winnings of their offspring.

Breeding Stallion ...
The stallion we use in our breeding program
is directly related to All
The
Gold and
Schoenfelder who are first and fifth respectively, on the all-time IHF top
stallion list.
We currently
stand the stallion Gift
of Gold (1999 colt sired
by All
The
Gold out
of Copper
Penny by
Schoenfelder). We also use the exceptional stallions Corlando at Triad Farm (www.triadfarm.com) and Paparazzo at On-The-Bit Farm (www.onthebitfarm.com) to gain
diversity in our broodmare breeding program.
Broodmares ...
Our broodmare collection is small but exceptional. Our
select group of broodmares
was carefully purchased for their athletic
abilities and disposition. We have one broodmare out of the top IHF
Stallion All
The Gold, two are
out of the internationally known Grand
Prix Jumper Budweiser,
one is from the international Dressage
star Waldorf, and the fifth is out of the famous
Hunter/ Jumper Castle
Magic (see
IHF table above). We have included picture galleries of our broodmares and their most
recent foals for your viewing pleasure.
