Havana is a tall, elegant filly with a sweet disposition. Her calm personality and expressive movement will excel in the dressage ring. She is one of only a few fillies by the Premium stallion Barbarossa *Pb*, and one of only two available (Sovereign Farm’s Phyre SF is the other one).

Havana’s sire is the Premium Trakehner stallion Barbarossa *Pb*. Barbarossa *Pb* is an exciting up-and-coming stallion with a brilliant start to his show career. He is multi-talented in both jumping and dressage. In 2021, he was campaigned in Eventing and earned 1st place in Open Training at the Meadow Creek Park HT and 4th place in Open Training at the Texas Rose Horse Park HT. It was apparent at the horse trials that Barbie would shine in the dressage arena and in 2022 his training program changed to focus on dressage. In a short period of time, his natural athletic ability and willingness to learn enabled him to earn the scores for his Performance Bronze (*Pb*) designation in 2023. With promising scores already at Prix St George, we are excited to follow his progressing dressage career and thrilled to offer his offspring for your consideration.
Barbarossa’s sire is the influential Trakehner stallion, E.H. Buddenbrock. Buddenbrock was awarded his Elite status in 2007 and named Stallion of the Year in 2010 due to the success of his offspring in competition, as well as the quality of their movement and conformation. E.H. Buddenbrock is approved for breeding to Trakehner, Hannoverian, Oldenburg, Westphalian and Rhineland mares as well as for all Southern German breed associations. Some of his notable offspring include the Grand Prix dressage stallions E.H. King Arthur TSF, In Flagranti TSF, and Epernay. In total, he has sired at least 11 Grand Prix Dressage horses as well as top competitors in Jumping and Eventing.

Havana’s dam, Honora, is by Apollo Sun *Pb*, out of Heretic by Kantor II. Apollo Sun *Pb* was approved by the American Trakehner Association in 2006 with exceptional scores, including a 9 for his well-articulated, cadenced, and powerful trot. He is a striking mover with exceptional use of his body and back in all gaits. He has shown dressage through Prix St George and spent some time Eventing in his younger years. Apollo Sun’s sire Tribute was the Reserve Champion at Training Level in the 1993 ATA Horse of the Year awards. He was also the recipient that year of the Cäsar Memorial Cup for having the highest score in Combined Training of all the ATA approved stallions. Honora’s dam Heretic was by the imported Trakehner stallion Kantor II. Kantor II was approved at Neumunster in 1980 and successfully completed the 100 day stallion test at Klosterhof Medingen in 1981 (27th of 63). He was imported in 1985 and went on to a successful show career in dressage through Prix St George before an eye injury ended his showing days.
