| Sire: | KINGSTON is a natural athlete with a very easy going manner and excellent mind. In his only season |
| at recognized CEF dressage competitions he received scores averaging 68%, including three 70+% |
| with good ribbons every class. In 2000 he competed in low and training jumpers up to 3'9" and is |
| schooling up to 4'6". He was consistently into the jump-offs and the ribbons. KINGSTON is by the |
| warmblood approved Thoroughbred sire, MARTIN’S WORRY, out of the Star Dutch mare |
| ARIENA, from the family of NATUREL keur, LUCKY BOY pref & KRISTAL pref. These are |
| families not only valued for their sport performance, but also for their sound constitution with breeding |
| values for both dressage and jumping. KINGSTON’s progeny to date include the hi-score mare of |
| the 1998 CWHBA National Inspection Tour, KRISTIANNA, with a 1st premium of 8.17 and the |
| 1999 B.C. Foal Futurity winner with a premium score of 8.00. |
| Dam: | ASPEN GROVE is a 16.1HH, 7/8 Thoroughbred mare. She competed to Preliminary level eventing |
| and since retiring has produced 6 foals including the 1999 National Tour B.C. Champion mare scored |
| a 1st premium 8.00 by Dr Lehmann. Her oldest foals are currently competing at Medium level |
| dressage and Hunters. Her dam, AUTUMN LEAVES competed to Advanced 3-day, retired sound |
| at age 10, and then produced 8 outstanding performance progeny. Her sire, PREBENS PRIDE was a |
| good stakes winner for Graham Ranches and is the sire of Open jumpers in the USA including 2 full |
| siblings to Aspen Grove. The full sister to her dam, SUMATRA, was a member of the 1971 Pan Am |
| Games Combined Training Gold Medal Team and was a 1976 Olympic Team member, placing 11th |
| individually. |
| Notes: | KASANOVA is a very personable young horse with a willing attitude towards his training. He loves |
| people and attention and is currently lungeing with a bridle. He has exceptional movement, rhythm and |
| style, making him a great dressage, jumper or combined training prospect. Given the pedigree and |
| performance of his parents it is no surprise that he demonstrates natural ability for jumping. |
| KASANOVA is tall, well put together with a nice top line, compact build and powerful strong limbs. |
| He leads, ties, trailers and is good for the farrier. He was the 1998 CWHBA-B.C. Northern Division |
| Foal Futurity Champion. More extensive notes and photographs available at: |
