16.3H 2003 ISR-OLDENBURG MARE

 

 

BY ALLA 'CZAR out of  GOOD WEATHER TWIST xx (GOOD NEWS JOE xx x TRUFFEIRO xx)

April's Twist "April"

A special mare from a highly successful dam lineage.

 

Bred by the breeder of Alla'Czar, April's Twist is a rangy mare with a superb well balanced canter that can clearly produce Derby Hunters and/or high level jumpers for us. George Morris has been calling for more TB in the ranks of the US jumpers and April's Twist gives us an opportunity to breed to spec for him!  Study her pedigree and you will see  Good Twist duplicated and topped by the Zeus bloodlines of Alla'Czar.  We are very excited to see what she will produce for us! 

 

Sire Info: ALLA 'CZAR

Zeus-Legaat-Darwin 1982 KWPN Stallion

 

April's Twist is sired by the now deceased fabled hunter sire Alla' Czar. Alla 'Czar was an imported 16.3 hand bay sabino Dutch Warmblood stallion by ZEUS. He was titled the USEF's Hunter Breeding stallion of the year for 5 consecutive years, 2002-2006. He is the only stallion to have achieved that title for that many years. Judges across the country, in all Zones, have awarded Alla'Czar offspring top prizes, many zone champions and several National and Reserve Champions in various age groups. Alla'Czar is the sire of Osczar who was the first horse to receive the Perfect 100 score in a hunter round. Alla 'Czar was a proven competitor: During the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s ‘Czar was shown successfully at top "A" circuit shows in CA. He was consistently in the top ribbons, winning many Championships and Reserves in Pre-Green through 1st and 2nd Year Green Hunter and then moving into the Equitation Divisions. ‘Czar also had a career in the Dressage Arena competing through Prix St.
