Spring Hollow Mares
We have retained three Statesmans Silhouette daughters and one granddaughter to continue our breeding program. They represent some of the best of a program that has produced dozens of successful sport horses over the past three decades.

Spring Hollow Enchantress
2005 Dark Bay Mare • 15.3 hands Sire: Statesmans Silhouette Dam: Bethesda Sorceress (Wyoming Flyhawk x Bethesda Enchantress) See pedigree "Tessa" has been an exceptional broodmare for us, producing three Spring Hollow wonderful foals, including her 2021 filly by Echo, Spring Hollow Sorceress. The consistency of the cross of her dam with Silhouette boded well for her future as a broodmare - her five full siblings all had successful performance careers with amateur and junior young riders. She is routinely producing size (her mature offspring are 15.3-16 hands) with powerful gaits, correct conformation and trainable temperaments. We hope to breed her back to Echo in 2022. |

Spring Hollow Calypso
2006 Black Mare • 15.3 hands Sire: Statesmans Silhouette Dam: Goings Dream Come True See pedigree "Callie" - a farm favorite from the day she was born - was on her way to a successful performance career until a suspensory ligament injury short-circuited her future in the dressage arena. While she came back sound from the injury, our vet warned the ligament might not hold up to the rigors of upper level work and re-injury could jeopardize her ability to comfortably carry a foal in the future. She was retired from competition, and became a pleasure riding horse, lower-level school master and now a broodmare. She produced a filly by Moana Echo in 2020 with her lovable disposition, beauty and athleticism and is bred back for a 2022 foal. |

Spring Hollow Celebrity
2008 Bay Mare • 14.2 hands Sire: Statesmans Silhouette Dam: Spring Hollow Legacy (Patchett Hill x Coal Creek Bay Bee) See pedigree "Brie" is the smallest of our mares, but has perhaps the biggest movement, with a trot that makes her an wonderful carriage horse. She's also the closest bred to Echo's dam, with close crosses to Patchett Hill and Wyoming Flyhawk through her dam, Spring Hollow Legacy, who came in-utero from her breeder, Lowell Hughes of Caduceus Morgans. She's also a full sister to Spring Hollow Legend, competing at Prix St. George with his trainer, Cathy Echternach. With these bloodlines and her own athletic ability, her first foal was highly anticipated! He didn't disappoint, Spring Hollow Empressario is a charismatic, friendly colt who already shows athleticism and an especially uphill, scopey canter. |

Spring Hollow Reine d'Or
2018 Dunalino (Red Dun/Palomino) Mare • 15.2 hands Sire: Amberfields Embossedngold Dam: Spring Hollow Enchantress by Statesmans Silhouette See Pedigree Reine d'Or, which translates in French as "Golden Queen," lives up to her name. A strikingly beautiful mare with an endearing personality, Reine is unforgettable to everyone who has seen her. Her sire, a combination of Old Government and Lippitt along with a bit of Brunk, successfully competed through second level and over fences. We started Reine lightly under saddle in Summer 2021 and she's now with FEI rider Beth Brooke to continue her training. She'll be bred to Echo in Spring 2022 and the plan is for her to stay with Beth until shortly before she foals in 2023. It's going to be a long wait for her foal - but should be well worth the time! |
