| Sire: | WODAN is a branded Hannoverian stallion who is approved with five different breeding associations |
| in Germany. Prior to his export to Canada, WODAN competed successfully at International Grand |
| Prix level. Among his victories is the outstanding win at the indoor Grand Prix in Vienna under Frank |
| Sloothaak. WODAN has proven to be an excellent breeding stallion by siring several successful sport |
| horses including: WEMBLAY, WALHALLA, WALZER, TUSCALUSA, WALLENTINAL and |
| WODYNA, all having competed at the International Grand Prix level in jumping or dressage. |
| Dam: | PUG’S ESCORT is by a stallion that combines the blood of CORNISH PRINCE, GALLANT |
| MAN and TUDOR MINSTREL. Michael Matz’s jumper, THE GENERAL, descends from |
| CORNISH PRINCE (by the influential BOLD RULER); several international eventers and the |
| jumper, IKE, descend from GALLANT MAN, and the list of sport horses that descend from |
| TUDOR MINSTREL is extensive. From this mare’s dam’s side we get the influence of BEAU MAX |
| who is ancestor to the eventer, TIGER ONE; DETERMINE, who is ancestor to several eventers and |
| jumpers including NATIVE CODE; IMBROS who is ancestor to jumpers including PLAIN JANE; |
| and WAR GLORY who is ancestor to the dressage champion, KEEN, and the jumpers COUNTRY |
| MUSIC and SINJON. |
| Notes: | SMOOTH AS SILK is a fancy mare who displays animation and cadence through her 3 gaits. |
| "SILK" is quiet, sensible and quick to learn. She is a very trustworthy mount who has been ridden |
| inside and outside of arena as well as on the trail. She was started as a two-year-old and has had |
| consistent training in Dressage since April. She is a pleasure to ride, as she is smooth gaited and light in |
| the bridle. Recently, she has been started over fences where she displays quality in form. "SILK" is a |
| very willing mare with good conformation and has an excellent disposition. She will make a super |
| performance horse as she has all of the attributes to be a successful competitor. "SILK" competed in |
| her first horse show this July and placed 2nd out of 26 horses in her 'Junior Horse Under Saddle' |
| class. She is truly a wonderful mare who sports heart and desire. |
