Addison, a son of Branco of the
Ramiro Z bloodline, received his preliminary approval
with the Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association as a
three year old in 2003. Addison was the high scoring colt
of 2000, high scoring yearling of 2001, and high scoring
two year old of 2002. In 2004, Addison successfully
completed the 100-day Stallion Test – fulfilling his performance
requirements and achieving his permanent
breeding license. Addison possess lovely, correct conformation –
inheriting his sire’s long neck and short back– and
beautiful, naturally rhythmical gaits. Addison is blessed with
a kind disposition and a calm, even, yet
playful temperament.
Due to a family situation, Addison was home bound during
the summer of 2005 and only lightly shown in 2006.
In 2007, Addison, along with his very rusty owner and
trainer Jennifer Hallmann, competed in the Second Year
Green Hunter Division of the Michigan Hunter Jumper
Association. The summer was filled with fun and ribbons.
Attending ten of eighteen possible competitions,
Addison was Champion seven times and reserve champion
twice earning the 2007 Year End Second Year
Green Hunter Championship.. Addison became a show
favorite – with his excellent jumping form and consistent
performances he created his own fan club. His new
friends made it a point to visit and fuss over him at his
stall, and left ‘offerings’ of treats and photos
of the previous
day on a regular basis. In addition, Addison also lent
his services to Lisa Schillace, an amateur adult. The
team pooled their skills to fill a Limit Medal Qualifying
class at Win-A-Gin Farms in Metamora, Michigan.The pair, without
warm-up or prior show ring experience as a team, cantered
around the equitation jumps to win the blue ribbon qualifying them
for the year end medal ride off. Lisa and Addison returned to the
ring to
claim the 2007 MHJA Limit Medal Ride-off Championship. Look for
Addison in Florida during 2008.
Addison’s first foal crop is coming four in 2008. He is passing
on his wonderful
temperament, natural rhythm, long neck, and size. Visit his get
