Briar’s pedigree is a combination of Swedish Warmblood and Hanoverian champion lines, with a touch of Thoroughbred. His sire, Magini 695, was by the Elite stallion Maraton 600, who fathered numerous Grand Prix dressage and show jumping horses, 6 Approved stallions and 54 Diploma mares.
Briar’s dam’s line, includes the outstanding mare, Medea who was by Gaspari 340, one of the most famous horses in the history of dressage stallions. He sired the legendary Piaff, who won the individual Gold Medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
