Production: Stetson was bred in 2001 to six mares, two Arabians, two Shagyas, one Thoroughbred and one Trakehner, for the purpose of testing his genetics in several different combinations. Stetson's first offspring are now four years old and we are very pleased with his first foal crop. He is producing size, 16 h.h., very substantial bone with exceptional swinging gaits and temperament that is without rival. STETSON is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to improve riding characteristics. His foals are very pleasing and correct in conformation.

Sire's Pedigree: SARVAR PFF, to *SHANDOR imported from Denmark in 1989, to SHAGAL. SHAGAL was the 1986 European Champion Shagya. He also has a lifetime breeding license with the Trakehner Verband. The descending pedigree of these horses follows straight back 200 years to the first importation of purebred Arabian stallions and mares from Syria specifically to the Hungarian State Stud at Babolna in Hungary for the purpose of creating a sound, sturdy, cavalry horse, but also a elegant riding and driving horse for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. Included in that importation was the stallion named Shagya. The breed is actually named for him. He has been considered the most influential stallion in his family and for the breed as a whole.

Dam's Pedigree: Sonata PFF is out of Magic Shadow ox by the US foundation stallion, Hungarian Bravo. Sonata is a fine example of Shagya type. She received one of the highest overall scores of any mare during the NASS Inspections.

Sonata PFF Dam of Stetson and Laszlo Monostory. He was the only surviving Commanding Officer of the Hungarian State Stud Farms.
