Linguistic

Linguistic or Tia as she is known at home is a lovely bay mare who takes her elegant looks and easy going temperament from her father Lingh as well as a super hindleg from her mother Tiara by Metall also father of the fabulous Uthopia.  Linguistic was the highest scoring three year old at her British Equestrian Federation Futurity evaluations.   We bred the embryo transfer foal Peridot from Linguistic in 2011, he is by the exciting young stallion Pentagon's Peron and was awarded a foal premium from the Oldenburg Verband. Whilst training with International Grand Prix rider Anna Ross Davies, Linguistic has also enjoyed success under saddle in BD competitions.

Throughout his performance career, Lingh has been one of the highest FEI-ranked dressage stallions in the world. He has had exceptional successes and numerous placings in international Grand Prix with Edward Gal and Karin Offield. The best-known are the second place finishes of Lingh and Gal in the World Cup Finals in Las Vegas in 2005, and in Dusseldorf in 2004. Lingh received the top score of 10 for his phenomenal piaffe, passage and the transitions. In 2005, Lingh was approved by the KWPN studbook, he is described as an honest and trustworthy stallion that is easy to work with. Lingh is a modern dressage stallion with outstanding conformation. He has a very good temperament and loves to work; he also learns very easily. Lingh comes from the mareline 711, which has produced seven approved stallions. Lingh's offspring are described as being very elegant, light and athletic and Linguistic is no exception to this.  For more information please see Lingh’s page in our Sires section.

Linguistic’s mother Tiara is by the stallion Metall whose offspring inherit his stunning conformation, and a high degree of quality and refinement. They are built very uphill and have beautiful heads. Their movements show great finesse with much power in the hind legs, lots of elevation in the front legs, and they have supple backs.  Her maternal Grandfather is Balzflug who is bred out of the best performance bloodlines in the Trakehner Studbook. His sire Habicht is noted as one of the most influential sires of excellent dressage ability, having produced many nationally ranked top mares and several approved stallions including Olympic Cocktail.   Having bred 3 super foals Tiara has now changed career and despite her late start is training successfully with Andrew Gould.
