Sir Sinclair Does it Again Earning #1 USEF Dressage Sire!

Zania and Jami Kment, Region Four, GAIG/ USDF Grand Prix Champions

Iron Spring Farm's Sir Sinclair is the #1 USEF Dressage Sire for the second year in a row! In 2016, his offspring earned over 8,700 points. Diana Morrison’s Dee Clair was the top earning offspring with 658 points at the Grand Prix level. Joan Gariboldi’s Bravo earned 567 points at Fourth Level and Prix St. Georges. Sixty-eight offspring contributed points to Sir’s total this year, with 20 competing at the FEI level.

It’s exciting to see the consistent quality of Sir Sinclair's offspring over time. In 2016, eight of his get earned Champion or Reserve Champion at the GAIG/USDF Regional Championships. Highlights include two winners at Grand Prix. Dee Clair is the Region 3 Grand Prix Champion, and Zania is the Region 4 Grand Prix Champion. Honor, a four-year-old KWPN gelding, won the GAIG/USDF Region 4 Training Level Junior/Young Rider Championship with a 74.88%.

Thank you and congratulations to the owners and riders who participated at all levels.  

Contango, Preferent, ranked #3 with 36 offspring earning points. Alcazar topped the list with 882 points earned at Grand Prix, followed by Zabaca with 837 points, also at Grand Prix. UB40 ranked #6 with 23 offspring receiving points. Top earners for UB40 were Eye Candy with 594 points at Third and Fourth levels, and Elzarma TF with 442 points in the Young Rider Divisions and Prix St. Georges divisions.
