Welcome…..
We are the
fortunate keepers of the
beautiful and exceptional
‘classically bred’ Lipizzaner
stallion, 226 Favory Naussica,
known as ‘Maestro’.
‘Maestro’ was
born on May 8th, 2000
in idyllic Provence in the south
of France. The stud farm of Les
Launes owned by the Philip
Brothers at La Roque d’Anthéron
is on limestone country, where
clear blue skies over fields of
olive trees and sunflowers
behind long avenues of plain
trees, combine perfectly with
the perfumes of lavender and
rosemary to create a Van Gogh
palette exciting all the senses.
The burble of fast running
rivers and of canals built by
the Romans remind us that this
has been a rich and productive
land for longer than we can
imagine.
We sifted as
carefully as we could through a
worldwide marketplace of
Lipizzaner stallions and colts
to finally choose the two year
old ‘Maestro’ after viewing him
for about fifteen minutes! He is
classical, correct, outstanding
….. many superlatives! He
has excellent classical
movement, with three very good
paces. He is straight, balanced
and has natural rhythm.
We have not been disappointed by
our choice- at breeding
Accreditation/Classification
(see downloadable documents), he
was given top marks, including
an extraordinary ten out of ten
for his hind legs! He has
matured beautifully; he is
progressing most successfully in
open dressage competition and we
approach the next stud season
with confidence and pleasure as
his foals to date have been
strongly stamped with his
qualities.
One of the
main attractions to this
stallion is his sweet and
affectionate nature, and that he
is genuinely FUN to work with!
He is a pleasure to be around.
He raises emotions because of
his beauty, he receives comments
from dressage judges on his
dressage test results sheets
like:
“Wow! What a
forward and free moving horse’
"Lovely sweet
horse with lovely established
rhythm and paces"
"Horse very
willing to please you"
and from a
high profile horseman in
Brisbane
‘He is the
most beautiful Lipizzaner I have
ever seen’
“Maestro’ is
the only Lipizzaner stallion in
Australian history to have had
multiple foals exported.
We believe he
will have positive impact on the
quality of Lipizzaners for
breeders worldwide.
