Grande Saber Babies at Tellwynd
"The Clones"
The Produce of Tellwynd...Daughter Bri and Grande Divina
2001 Dressage At Devon
Amateur Owner Handler Champion
The young horses of
Tellwynd became the stars of America...changing name and owners but not the substance that
was the trade mark of her product. Known by their smooth temperaments, top notch
types and athletic prowess. The unique qualities of Tellwynd foals translated
to recognition by the industries leading experts.
Sallie Sexton, the breeding industry icon, remarked "I know a Saber Baby when I see one". She of course was referring to Tellwynd stallion, Grande Saber. Her comment came as full sisters Grand Affair and Grande Divina competed against each other in Hunter Breeding championship classes at the Devon Horse Show. That was Sallie's last trip to the Dixon Oval. Ironically the next year, a Grande Saber filly won the first Sallie Sexton Memorial Trophy at the Devon Horse Show. Champ Hough was particularity partial to Saber Babies; pinning them blue in back to back competitions.
Scott Stewart, three time World Champion Hunter
Rider, took two Tellwynd babies to the heights of Hunter competitions. Eleventh Hour was
bred and born at Tellwynd. He took the country's highest honors in 1998 as the National
Grand Champion Hunter. His full brother, Jazzman, was a colorful star earning tri colors
as he debuted in the hunter divisions. Scott has always been a fan of the young horses of
our farm including Absent Art and GQ.
The champions of Tellwynd are many. Fairfax, Grande Saber, Eleventh Hour, Jazzman,
Grande Divina, Grande Diva, Grand Affair, Lauxmont, GQ, Gold Storm, Regent, Grace
Adieu, Hallelujah, Grande Desire, Prince of the Moon, Sterling Silver, Cary Grant and
Grande Celeste. Many more have gone on with new owners and new names and we have
lost their performances. The tally of premium foals approached 90% of all foals
produced by Tellwynd among the Dutch, Oldenburg and Holsteiner breeding associations. Our
mare have gone on for premium and Top Ten national finishes in those breed registries.
The Performance Horse Registry (PHR) honored a Saber filly as the first leading
Hunter Breeding horse and she earned that award as she competed every year in the breeding
divisions. Grande Diva was shown by Gerry Goldman in his last year of competition.
He guided the flashy test hunter baby of Grande Saber to an undefeated year in 1998.
Later, after producing a foal, she started over fences as a champion. Her sisters
have been winners at Devon in Hunter and Dressage classes.
