At OSJS we develop horses to participate at the Grand
Prix level in show jumping, our Grand Prix Horse Development program (GPD).
Our horses are not 'for sale'. We train them
following classical training methods with a strong emphasis on dressage and
gymnastic work progressing the horse based on the horses' physical, mental
and emotional ability and stage.
We are very selective on the horses we take on to
work with. We view the horses as our long term partners and make sure
they have the ability to progress towards GP level competition. Only
horses that display the ability, willingness and desire to compete at the GP
level stay in the GPD program. All others are placed with
individuals who will be happy to have a well trained 1.20m or 1.30m jumper.
We work with owners that are interested in putting
the well being of the horse first, have the resources to support a horse
being developed to Grand Prix level, and believe in our motto, 'Horsemanship
Above All" (tm).
Owners take pride in watching their horses develop,
progress and see their horse enjoy the work they are doing. If an
offer is received for one of the horses at a horse show, we let the horse
owner know about the offer. We then discuss the buyer's credentials in
detail and if we feel the horse will be successful with the buyer we then
proceed with the sale.
We will gladly discuss our program in more detail
if the above interests you.
Only mares
with exceptional pedigrees and jumping ability are accepted into our
program. This provides the owners with the option of selling embryos
of the mares while the mares are in training and competition. At
present we have the Imported Holsteiner stamm 18B1 mare Caletta by Cheenook out
of a Calleto II mare as part of the GPD.
