Grayheart is lifetime approved with both the AWR and AWS registries.
Please have a look at our offspring page to see some of the wonderful foals he has sired.  Grayheart's offspring are eligible for additional breed registries and have been presented to, and approved by, the Belgian Warmblood and RPSI registries.  One Grayheart offspring tied for 3rd in her division, and was granted Elite status, for all horses in the Belgian Warmblood 2011 North American inspection tour.



FUERST GRAYHEART R is a 16.3hh Hanoverian with a commanding presence he has three large beautiful gaits, suspension, very heavy bone, on a big correct rectangular frame. GRAYHEART has many siblings actively competing and winning at Grand Prix level jumping, CDS, USDF, and breed shows. A paddock injury not long after being started has made Grayheart unable to be ridden and shown.
Grayheart proves he himself is a high quality sire through his own offspring's high scores at inspections and breed shows!  GRAYHEART has lifetime breeding approval with both AWR & AWS.

His father, ES Fuerst Gotthard (a.k.a.) "The Titleist"(for more info http://www.rainbowequus.com/FuerstGotthard.htm), scored an overall 132.24 on his Hanoverian 100 day test. He is also a 5 star stallion with the ISR/Oldenburg registry. Fuerst Gotthard won multiple Grand Prix, World Cup classes and placed in
many more classics with Olympic riders Robert Ridland, Hap Hansen, and Eddie Macken. 

Grayheart's dam, Santa Barbara, is an Elite Hanoverian mare. She is by the international Grand Prix jumper San Fernando. Santa Barbara went on to win some big jumper classes with an amateur rider, including a championship
at Spruce Meadows.

Grayheart's foals consistently score high in conformation and movement. They have higher neck sets, good shoulder angles, beautiful toplines, lots of suspension, good swing and flowing movements, extended free walks, ground covering canters, and will be competitive in not just jumping, but dressage, & eventing.  
 
DVD available by request.





Unfortunately, most of the YouTube video footage was produced after Grayheart was injured; therefore, it does not do him justice.   The second half of the YouTube clip features some of the wonderful offspring Grayheart has produced.
