Clair
de Lune is a beautiful buckskin Swedish Warmblood mare that was imported from
Sweden to Canada in 1998. She is a very calm, laid back mare that
enjoys her work and frames beautifully with only light contact. She
is also a wonderful babysitter for other mares' foals and continually
volunteers herself as a co-mom for many foals.

She is by the elite
buckskin Swedish Warmblood dressage
sire, Bernstein
761,
who was
the #2 ranked Swedish
Warmblood stallion in the world in 2003 behind Amiral, his half brother, who
was ranked
#1. Flyinge
Amiral competed in the international dressage circuit with appearances at both the 1996 Olympic Games in
Atlanta
and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. In the 2003
BLUP (Best
Linear Unbiased Prediction), Bernstein ranked 2nd for gaits, 4th for confirmation and 7th overall with a score of 93%, and was winner of his stallion test in Sweden receiving 9's for his trot and canter. In that same year, Bernstein was also ranked #28 on the USEF Leading Dressage Sires Rankings.
Bernstein’s get are competing at the international and Grand Prix levels and have been recipients of the Best in Show award and Breeder’s Trophy. Bernstein himself was the recipient of the 2001 Dressage Sire Breeder’s Trophy.
Bernstein
is by the
elite stallion, Napoleon
625, who is
also
the sire
Flyinge Amiral as well as other world famous offspring.
Napoleon
is ranked in the top five sires of the world for producing
dressage
horses.
Kaliber
574
(Elite-Prem) is well known for his
exceptional temperament and jumping talent; traits that he consistently
passes to his offspring. Kaliber has sired a good number offspring
that have been victorious in upper-level competition in
dressage,
eventing and
jumping.
Asterix
694
(Prem-A) left Flynge and came to North
America in 1995 where he continued to compete in FEI Prix St. Georges. Asterix
was well-known in Sweden for passing on his wonderful movement to his offspring and is credited
with having a very strong mare line. During his stallion testing
in Sweden, Asterix received 9s for his walk and trot both at liberty and
under saddle and was awarded 42 points in total (out of a possible 50)
scoring 1 point higher than Sweden’s famous dressage stallion,
Briar.
For
many years, the elite stallion, Utrillo
432, who appears 3 times in Clair de Lune's pedigree, was
the top sire of competition horses in Sweden. He sired top breeding stallions, successful broodmares
and
international Sport Horses, two
of which competed in the 2000 Olympic Games. Today,
most top competitors in Sweden
carry Utrillo once or more in their pedigree. In his
time, Utrillo
was ranked 1st on the BLUP index as
sire of jumpers and 8th as sire of conformation horses with an overall
score of 97% and a BLUP Total Index Score
of 123.
Clair
de Lune has had 7 foals: 3 bay Warmbloods, 3 buckskin Warmbloods, and 1
palomino Warmblood.
Her foals are very correct, inherit her very calm disposition and are suitable for either jumping and/or
dressage
disciplines. With
her outstanding pedigree of Bernstein
(Elite)
x Asterix (Prem-A)
x Kaliber (Elite)
x Utrillo (Elite), as well as the bonus of a unique color, Clair de Lune is a spectacular
addition to our breeding program.
