‘Ossie’ is another one of our original mares. She is out of the first Holsteiner mare ever bred by Maggie and by our first Holsteiner stallion, Fabio I. She had a brief career in jumping and dressage before becoming a full time broodmare. She is a very solid and sound mare who produces offspring with the scope, movement and talent for any discipline. She has several premium mares and foals to her credit. Her dam’s side is thoroughbred and M-line Holsteiner giving her lightness that you didn’t always find in the mares who were born in the 90’s. The M-line was started by the thoroughbred improvement sire Marlon. Marlon was a top producer in his day of event horses and he and his progeny still show up in the pedigrees of today’s top jumpers, eventers and dressage horses. He was the sire of several Olympic horses in eventing and dressage. The Fabio influence has given her soundness and the ability to produce horses who could be ridden by amateurs and competed in any discipline. Fabio also traces his linage to the great sire Ramiro who was an international competitor and very prolific sire of jumpers. The F-line horses are known for their soundness and versatility. She is a sweet mare who has three good and correct gaits and who displayed a good amount of scope in the free jump chute. She is a premium mare with the AHHA and in the Main Mare book with the ISR/Old-NA.
