Silvester Testimonials<br />
“Our first foal by Silvester had so many of his sire’s qualities; presence,<br />
wonderful movement and great temperament. We had no hesitation in using<br />
Silvester again to breed from. All our mares are bred by AI, so the quality of<br />
semen is very important to us. In every case our mares have held to the first<br />
insemination using Silvester’s semen.”<br />
Joan Cadzow, Duncrahill Stud<br />
“Alice is the most wonderful yearling. She already has fantastic and<br />
exciting paces, is very easy to handle with very good manners and a lovely<br />
temperament. We were thrilled with Silvester as the sire, he is top class and<br />
we would definitely use him with our mare again.”<br />
Philippa and Martin Clunes<br />
“I have used Silvester seven times and keep going back.<br />
He has incredible fertility and a loving temperament.<br />
His foals are so trainable and have achieved very successful results.<br />
I have had 2 ELITE’s, 5 GOLD premiums and HIGHEST SJ yearling in the<br />
<strong>British</strong> Breeding Futurity.<br />
Crystal Silver won the Regional Champions at the Elite Foal Tour, she went<br />
on to be highest placed filly at the Elite Finals and the top priced lot sold at<br />
the AES Elite auction.<br />
I am very happy using Silvester with his legendary bloodlines. WG Stud are<br />
very professional and ensure breeding is made easy.”<br />
Sian Harman - Hill View Stud.<br />
“I was very fortunate to gain the ride on In Vogue II by Silvester. We went<br />
from BE100 to completing our first Advanced. She was so brave cross<br />
country and very trainable for dressage, consistently scoring over 70%.<br />
Now, having ridden many horses, I appreciate how special it is to have a<br />
horse that will take you to Advanced. So I had no hesitation when searching<br />
for the next superstar to join my team to look for another Silvester.<br />
I am so excited now to have two young horses by Silvester in my yard, both<br />
incredibly athletic, bold and forward thinking. They are already winning<br />
at their training competitions and are proving the perfect potential event<br />
horses. Silvester produces highly intelligent and classy offspring, the perfect<br />
stamp for an event horse. They are a pleasure to have in the yard.”<br />
Melissa Joannides<br />
“Total Belief has blossomed into a really classy top level horse. She oozes<br />
talent but best of all is her nature. She is the most trainable horse I have ever<br />
ridden and has a huge heart.” (advanced mare Total Belief)<br />
Coral Keen<br />
“Silvester’s conformation, athleticism and kind nature are clear to see. What<br />
is equally impressive when you look further is his genetic generosity - the<br />
consistency with which he produces trainable high quality foals with dams<br />
of a wide range of breeds.”<br />
Michael Peace<br />
“I purchased Ruby (Carthago’s Darco) as a foal from WG Stud. She has<br />
a fantastic attitude and has been very easy to bring on. She’s athletic with<br />
huge power over a fence. She is now consistently jumping 1.30m as a 7 year<br />
old and regularly in the money. I am really excited for her future.”<br />
Charles Richards<br />
“Over the past eleven stud seasons Silvester has demonstrated consistently<br />
high fertility with excellent conception rates.”<br />
Simon Richards BVSc, OVS, MRCVS<br />
“I have used Silvester six times and will certainly do so again. His superb<br />
foals keep me coming back. First time I wondered if I was being extravagant<br />
but the offspring now prove he is worth every penny. Silvester is a serious<br />
sport horse sire and a lovely person and consistently passes on his top class<br />
qualities.”<br />
Niki Ryan<br />
“I now have a very smart Silvester four year old on my yard. He has a super<br />
temperament with great attitude and potential.”<br />
