The Horses:

    Viatar  |  Just Fun Stuff Expedience  |  Brandenburg's Windstar  



Viatar

     Viatar is a 1998 black 16.2 hand gelding from Bulgaria.   He was imported by Phyllis in the late autumn of 2003.   He began his Eventing career in Bulgaria, and is now moving up the levels in America, currently competing successfully at Open Intermediate.  He is a super jumper and an awesome cross-country horse, and has the potential to go to the highest levels.
     Viatar means 'The Wind' in Bulgarian.  And though he feels like he can run and jump like the wind, he has a very gentle and sweet personality.  He is totally motivated by greed; he expects to be fed candy or mints constantly!   He fits into the stable at Windchase very well, as he is a big pet who is spoiled rotten!   He loves life in America, as it includes things like daily turnout and water buckets in the stalls; luxuries he did not get in Bulgaria!   He likes to hack, trail ride and jump, and is willing to put up with the necessity of doing dressage in order to get to do these other more fun activities!

Just Fun Stuff

     Just Fun Stuff is a 16.3 hand bay 1995 Thoroughbred gelding owned and ridden by Windchase's Assistant Trainer Melissa Hunsberger.   Fun came to Windchase for consignment sale in 2003, and Melissa fell in love with him, and ended up purchasing him.   He is extremely athletic and talented, with all the right qualities to make it to the top levels.   
     Fun loves to run and jump, and brings total enthusiasm to his job.   He is fearlessly bold and has endless endurance.   He capped off a successful 2005 season by moving up to the Advanced level and competing in the CCI*** at Fair Hill International.  It is a delight to watch Melissa and Fun in action together as they form a terrific partnership!

Expedience

     Expedience is a chestnut 1997 Thoroughbred mare by Aye's Turn, owned and ridden by Melissa Hunsberger.   Melissa purchased Expedience from Windchase as a green three-year-old, and she has been responsible for her training from the start.   Expedience has a kind and gentle personality, but at the same time when she is competing, she can be full of fire!
     Melissa and Expedience are currently successfully competing at the Advanced level.  They recently won the Open Intermediate at Plantation Field, and they placed 6th in a very competitive field of around 60 starters at the Radnor Hunt CCI** in 2005.  What a great accomplishment for Melissa, to have produced such a talented and well schooled horse!

Brandenburg's Windstar

      Brandenburg's Windstar is a 1994 Irish Sport Horse 16.1 hand gray stallion, owned by Phyllis Dawson and Jineen Reed.  Phyllis competed Windstar at the Training level in 1999, with a perfect record: five wins out of five events!   Go to the breeding/stallion page for more information about Brandenburg's Windstar.
     Windstar is currently at stud at Windchase, and his youngsters are having great success in competition.  We are thrilled with the excellent quality of the babies he has been siring.  Click here for more information about Windstar's offspring that are offered for sale.
