Briar is the world’s #1 ranked dressage stallion. He has been the highest-ranked stallion for 6 years and #2 in'03: with recent placings, is #1 thus-far for 2008. Briar's biggest win, the "Champion-of-Aachen" over Van Grunsven/Salinero 2005, the Silver/Bronze medals in the 2003/05 European Dressage Championships just behind Salzgeber/Rusty. Briar just won the Swedish Championship for the 6th time. Briar has been a finalist in 5 World Cups, 4 European Championships with silver/bronze medals, the finals at the World Equestrian Games 2002/2006. Since 2001 Briar has placed in the Finals in every FEI competition entered for over 6 years. He has been Sweden's “Horse-of-the-Year” numerous times. Briar was the youngest dressage competitor in the Sydney Olympics, and placed 7th in the 2004 Olympic Games/Athens. He has 16 FEI wins at International Grand Prix in several different countries.

Offspring Information and Show Results:
Briar has shared dual roles in being both the #1 ranked dressage stallion in competition as well as being the #1 breeding stallion in the BLUP index for offspring evaluation in Overall points(including Germany’s top stallions). He has 8 approved sons, 4 in Sweden and 4 in the U.S.A. Two colts were Sweden’s stallion test winners. His offspring are very talented with Diplomas in dressage and jumping. They inherently have long legs and a general love of people. In 2004, Briannika (a Briar x thoroughbred filly) scored 27 pts, the highest score ever awarded in the US, scoring a perfect 10 for Type, like her sire. He has offspring now training with Olympic and World Cup medalist at FEI levels in both dressage and jumping.
