Sire: Elute
Dam: Sheba's Wish xx
Foals: Willingdon, Mazeppa, Genesee
Echo Logic is a homebred F1 Canadian Sport Horse mare, dark brown and standing 16.2+ hh. She is in foal with a 2008 baby by the Oldenburg show jumping stallion Gervantus II. This will be a full sibling to Genesee ('05). Due to a severe pasture injury, Echo has been retired to the broodmare band for several years but not before she proved her sport potential in dressage. She exhibits her sire, Elute’s correct, airy gaits and fabulous jumping technique which she, in turn, passes on to her offspring. After standing at stud at Spruce Meadows for only a few short years, Elute competed with Mac Cone on the Canadian Show Jumping team in numerous Grand Prix, on several Nations’ Cup teams and represented Canada at the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996.
Kestrel is a homebred mare that has produced offspring that reflect her strong conformation, elegant looks and incredibly balanced movement. She is not a tall mare but what she lacks in stature, she makes up for in her 3 beautiful gaits and lovely disposition. Her eldest offspring is Gimli ('02) by Gargoyle JT whose other progeny are exceling in dressage in the Lower Mainland of BC. Kestrel's daughter, Wintour ('06) by Equitop Farm's, Wyman is a first premium filly and winner of the Alberta Champion of the 2006 CSHA National Foal Championship. Kestrel’s dam was a 16.2 hh Argentine Thoroughbred mare who late in life, produced just this one mare for Slipstream Farm. Kestrel’s paternal grandsire was the well respected Trakehner Stallion, Nemo, who excelled in both Jumping and Dressage both here and in Europe.
Sheba's Wish xx was a foundation mare for Slipstream Farm. Producing well into her twenties, she foaled several good jumpers that all have good movement for dressage. Her pedigree harkens back to several of the thoroughbred sport horse greats like Ambiorix and Princequillo. A Thoroughbred mare of her caliber for sporthorse breeding is difficult to come by so we feel fortunalte to have had Wish in our broodmare band early on.
Max’s dam, Minter was a Champion Hunter mare at the Royal Winter Fair numerous times. Max has a lovely jump and she excels in the dressage where her lovely flowing gaits, balance and high degree of collection serve her well. This she passes on to her offspring and we see them as versatile, well balanced athletes.
She is the dam of Wessex, Gonika and Rainier. All of Max’s offspring display her delightful temperament and a willingness to work.
