🦄Fairytale Story in the making🦄

We are thrilled that the sweetest, most perfect boy Lord Lexington SDSF ("Lex") has been acquired by the equally humble and talented trainer Shea Johnson, to embark on a professional's journey up the levels together!

In August this year, Shea Johnson flew to Houston to help us show our youngsters (to many top national placements) and immediately fell in love with Lex's obvious quality and impeccable temperament. We were equally impressed with Shea's professionalism and steadfast care for the animals (as well as her tolerance for young horse shenanigans - looking at you, Vienna!). No doubt, Lex has found his perfect match.

The current plans are for Lex are to continue his in-hand show career in the DSHB 2-year-old classes in Houston alongside his SDSF siblings this coming year. We couldn't be happier, and look forward to celebrating this pair's many future successes together!

🏆2024 USDF Dressage Sporthorse Breeder of the Year🏆

Many thanks to our entire team for your efforts to support our program this year! Earning the USDF Traveling Trot Trophy award two years in a row, two national champions, two national reserve champions, and two national third placements from our little breeding program this year is an outcome we couldn't have planned for or dreamed of this year. To say we are proud is a great understatement.

We typically focus on using stallions in North America, showcasing the quality of the bloodlines that North American stallion stations work hard to develop and promote RIGHT HERE on our own soils. This methodology will continue to underpin our breeding focus in the coming years, and we expect these results to continue. There is much to be excited about in the easily-accessible breeding prospects ever-growing in the USA and Canada.

Cheers to 2025!

Fellow Equestrian Friends,

Reaching out for your support! This year, I've become heavily involved with the The American Hanoverian Society, and even produced our very first Gold Medal foal from the Sierra Downs Sporthorse Farm program (who was also winner of the USDF Traveling Trot Trophy award for highest median USDFBC scores in 2023).

It is my deepest pleasure and passion to support our breeding industry through ownership and operation of Warmblood Stallions of North America and active board member and Treasurer of the United States Sport Horse Breeders Association.

It would be a great honor to be elected to the The American Hanoverian Society Board in 2024, where I can put forth my financial acumen and industry passion to serve AHS members and further the interests of the Society and the modern North American breeding industry, as a whole. I currently Chair the AHS Editorial Committee (2024 Stallion Directory headed your way very soon!) and also support the AHS Finance Committee.

Please check your email inboxes (or head to the AHS website to renew your membership) and vote for me to join a Board chalk full of breeding legends! Ballots are due by Jan 15, 2024.

Shown here with my breeding partner-in-crime, my mother Lynn Masin, and our top Hanoverian and Rhineland fillies from 2023 (who each won the Southern Series IBC Hanoverian and Rhineland classes this year), while also securing first and third in the nation. We are in love with these breeds, and have grown to appreciate the support we receive from this registry. Thank you for your support in return!
