Berita (sold)

2005 Hanoverian mare Berita is a beautiful chestnut mare and is a favourite on the yard because of her sweet nature. She comes from a long line of Grand Prix horses on both sides of her impressive pedigree.  She is tall and elegant and has attracted positive comments and high scores on her first few outings. Berita is definitely one to watch for the future, she was entered into the Shearwater Young Dressage Horse 5 year old class which she won convincingly despite being up against some stiff competition and being a year behind in her training having bred a stunning foal (Cloudy Bay).  She has loose, rhythmical paces and has inherited the trademark super canter from her sire Breitling. Berita has also inherited her father’s easy temperament and is always willing to work, she is extremely trainable and also enjoys hacking.  She is currently in training with international Grand Prix rider Anna Ross Davies and is expecting a foal by the exciting Grand Prix stallion Uthopia via embryo transfer in 2012.

Berita’s father Breitling has been in the top 3 of the German breeding index for the last 4 years and is known for producing quality yet trainable offspring who include several licensed sons as well as hugely successful competition horses.  Breitling is a competition stallion who has nothing left to prove, having won international Grand Prix classes and Nations Cups, taken first prize in 22 advanced level dressage classes, secured a bronze medal at the German Championship and accumulated over EUR 130,000 in prize money in the dressage arena. His achievements with longstanding rider, Wolfram Wittig, extend right up to the World Cup Tour.  His ability to produce excellent offspring can only be described as phenomenal. Although he has only been used to a limited extent for breeding purposes, meaning that he has relatively few offspring, there are 13 advanced level dressage horses among his first progeny. Blind Date was the World Championship of Young Dressage Horses favourite in 2007, but she unfortunately suffered an injury shortly before she was due to enter the ring. In 2009, she was back on form when she won the Small Tour at the CHIO Aachen and the Nuremberg Burgpokal final and is now competing successfully at Grand Prix. Biagotti W, Baldessarini W, Berkeley W, Meggles Black Jack and Bertoli W have all been successful at Grand Prix. Numerous Breitling progeny have qualified for Bundeschampionat and World Championship finals.  Bismarck, an advanced level dressage horse, has a pedigree that goes back to top dressage horse producer, Bolero, whose bloodline recently experienced a renaissance when Belissimo M won the Bundeschampionat. Breitling's dam's full sister produced the successful Grand Prix horse Burlington by Bismarck. Breitling's full sister, Biagotti W, has also competed successfully up to Grand Prix level. For further information please see Breitling’s page in our Sires section.

Berita’s mother is Rollata who is by Regazzoni, himself by the great dressage stallion Rubenstein out of the notable Werther mare Wakonda. In 1994 Regazzoni was the 100 day Performance Test Champion scoring 10’s for rideability and disposition and 9 for his trot. Regazzoni is the sire of 13 licensed stallions and competed to FEI level himself, also becoming the 1995 Federal Vice-Champion German Riding Horse in Warendorf and winning the finals of the German 5 Year Old Dressage Championships in 1996.
