Nautica CGF

Branley Ash Nautilus x Fox Creek’s Dolce
Buckskin Filly Born April 14th

SOLD - A supremely bred German Riding pony filly

Early morning, April 14th we welcomed Nautica CGF to the world! This vibrant, feminine buckskin was sold in utero and we are so happy for her owner! Not only is she 100% imported GRP bloodlines, this combination of stallion and mare is a remarkable concentration of the best GRP’s available. She is bold, sweet and so athletic.

Linebreeding (when an individual appears in both the stallion as well as the mares pedigree) carefully done brings forward some of the best characteristics of the heritage of the individual. In this case, this foal will benefit from line breeding of three of the most notable individuals in GRP breeding; FS Don’t Worry, Dressman I, and Gina. Not only are these three remarkable individuals duplicated from both stallion and mare, they are perfectly sex-balanced (a son and a daughter) enabling both the X and the Y chromosomes to be represented. This further enhances the opportunities for the desirable characteristics to be present in the resulting foal. The full pedigree for this foal is below.

About Branley Ash Nautilus: At only 3 years of age, this young and expressive stallion has already achieved many titles of success. His impressive show record includes (2021) USDF HOY Reserve Champion for 3 Year old colts/Geldings, Grand Champion of the National Dressage Pony Cup Breed Show at Dressage at Devon. He secured an impressive 80.425% In-Hand and 80% at his first Materiale (3 year old colts/geldings) show. And was named Grand Champion Pony at both days of the Avalon Breed Show. In 2018, as merely a weanling, he was presented at Dressage at Devon during the inaugural NDPC Breed show and was named Pony Colt Champion. He currently stands 14.2 hands.

Nautilus is by the famous GRP sire FS Numero Uno, who has successfully competed FEI dressage in Germany, and is from a top damline. His 2nd dam, Gina D, is the full sister to 7 licensed stallions in Europe, including Dance Star NRW. Nautilus’ maternal sister, St.Pr.St. Grand Class WE, was the winner of her Mare Performance Test, Champion of the Elite Mare Show, and the Bundeschampionat Silver Medalist in 2019.

About Fox Creek’s Dolce: Named Gold premium as a foal, she received an astounding 8.8 score for quality of movement at her inspection. She was sold as a weanling to an adult amateur who raised and trained her up the dressage levels. In 2020, she had been schooling the PSG movements of half pass, changes and half steps. She stands 14.1 hands.

Dolce is sired by the stallion Fox Creek Diamond King, bred in Germany and imported in utero to the USA. His sire Dance Star was awarded the designation ‘NRW’ in 2019 for his accomplishments in shaping the Westfalen pony breeding. A top pony , he was awarded Bundeschampion in 2009 and Bronze Bundeschampionat in 2010. Dance Star has sired many licensed stallion sons and States Premium daughters who have themselves been awarded national titles. Dance Star is by the legendary Dressman I and out of foundational mare St.Pr.St. Gina (Folklore).

Dolce’s damline is nothing short of German Riding pony royalty. Her dam, States Premium mare Fox Creek’s Designed by Dior, was imported to the USA, sired by Dior de Lux (by FS Don’t Worry from a daughter of the foundational Golden Dancer).

Dolce’s grand-dam is the legendary St.Pr.St. Seven Mountain Nasty. Nasty was invited into the FN Broodmare Hall of Fame for the consistently high quality of her offspring.  She has produced all States Premium daughters, the most famous of who is Seven Mountain Derbyna; the 2002 4 yr old Bundeschampion Dressage Pony Mares.
