Brandenburg's Windstar
|
Windstar is a very well-balanced correct horse with
excellent conformation and a super temperament.
He is an impressive mover with three lovely gaits,
and a lovely, elastic way of going. He is a truly
exceptional jumper, bold and scopey with terrific form over
fences. His attitude makes him easy to handle and a
real joy to ride and handle.
He had an undefeated Eventing career before retiring
from competition to stand at stud; five wins out of five
events. He also
excelled at Dressage shows, winning his classes with
scores around 70 percent. He is registered
with the Irish Draught Horse Society (North America), and
was approved at their inspection as a three-year old in
1997, where he received high praise from judges in Ireland,
Canada, and the USA.
Windstar is beautifully bred, having some of the top
bloodlines in Ireland in his lineage on both sides. His
Thoroughbred sire, 'I'm A Star', led the Eventing world as a
sire in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He produced numerous
successful International Three-day Event horses, including
Burghley and Badminton winner Star Appeal, as well as
Phyllis's Advanced level horses, Star Bright and Sirius.
Windstar's Irish Draught dam, Kildalton Seabreeze, is
descended from some of the best jumping bloodlines in
Ireland. Her
sire, Sea Crest, is well known as a producer of top show
jumpers, including the internationally renowned 'Cruising'.
Her maternal grandsire is King of Diamonds, one of
the all-time great Irish Draught stallions, who was renowned
for his jumping ability, and made a huge contribution to the
breed as he passed on his talent to his descendants.

We
are extremely proud of the quality of Windstar's
Babies. His offspring are generally big and
attractive; exceptionally good movers with excellent
conformation and a strong resemblance to their sire. Windstar has proved to stamp his offspring with his lovely
elastic and athletic way of going, extraordinary jumping
ability, and great personality. His
foals are straight and correct, athletic, and well balanced.
Although most of my broodmares are TBs, he has
crossed well with a variety of types of mares of different
breeds. I feel
he is an exceptional Sport Horse sire.
Windstar's babies are having phenomenal success at in
competition. A
number of his older offspring are now Eventing successfully
at the Advanced level.
Arthur, owned and ridden by Allison Springer, has
been short listed for the Olympic Games and has represented
the US internationally.
Katie Willis's Polar Storm jumped clear around the
prestigious CCI*** at Jersey Fresh.
Many of his up and coming youngsters are competing

Jumping, while others are excellent foxhunters or pleasure
horses. You can see some of the other successful
competitors sired by Windstar on the Windstar's
