Master at the top – an outstanding result!
The world ranking list* “Dressage by studbook” was announced on 13 June 2008 by FEI WBFSH (the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses).
The Swedish Warmblood is ranked 5th and of the 6 best SWB’s included 3 are by Master. Over 70 stallions are included in the listings most having only one of their offspring in the ranking points. The following sires have 2 or more offspring in the list:

Sire              No of offspring               Points
Master                    3                            4188
Florestan I               3                            2595
Quattro B                2                            2771
Weltmeyer              2                            2539
Rubinstein I             2                            2101
Donnerwind             2                             1496
Master’s offspring in the list are Max (1729 points), Tip Top (1248) and Vivo (1211).

In Wiesbaden in May there were 3 horses by Master in the Kür final: Max who won the class with Kyra Kyrklund, Vivo with Maria von Essen and the newcomer Master Mind ridden by Nathalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein. Many Germans commented on this fact and one journalist said he couldnt think of another stallion that had achieved this before.

Master is standing at West Kington stud in the UK and frozen semen is available all over the World.

*The list dated 13.06.08 includes results from events starting from 01.10.2007 to 31.05.2008.
