I am indebted to my friend and colleague, USDF L Graduate, Sherry Spielmaker, for teaching me
about the PRE horse. Sherry was among the first persons in the United States to use the PRE in
dressage, and she helped me select my first PRE, my stallion Odilon JIM.
All of my PRE broodmares are products of Sherry's breeding program. Her foundation horses
were selected for their expressive front limb movement balanced by powerful impulsion, good
walks, straight extensions, and superb temperaments.

| 1980 PRE Stallion, 15.2 h, Grey (Deceased) Banbury Brio was owned by Jana Baumaster-Gaber's Unicorn Valley Farm (UVF) and was bred by Banbury Cross Farms from mainly Terry lines. He is related to some of the best known horses of Spain. His athleticism was proven in his long, successful performance career. Brio was a consistent winner of Performance High Points at Andalusian and Open shows. He was a winner in dressage through second level, but his outstanding jumping ability took him from dressage to combined training and show jumping where he competed through Preliminary level. As the sire of one of my mares and the grandsire of three others, Brio figures very prominently in my breeding program, and I am very pleased with how his bloodlines have crossed with the other dominant line of my farm--Indiano XVIII. |
