Die Chanel is an imported 2006 14.3H dark bay German Riding Pony mare by Der Feine Lord AT out of St. Pr. St. Chanel by Chantre B.

Der Feine Lord AT has wonderfully expressive gaits and excellent type, combined with his strong character and good temperament, which he passes down to his offspring. Der Feine Lord's sire is the multiple European champion Dressman I and the blood of Folklore and Brilliant is found in many elite riding ponies. His dam, SPS Gina was reserve Champion of the national Mare Show in Weser Ems, and his granddam Giana was DLG Champion mare. Die Chanel is stamped with his quality, and possesses his beautiful head and fluid, cadenced, space-gaining gaits. Der Feine Lord AT was Reserve Champion of the 2003 Riding Pony Koering. After series victories in the Reitponypruefungen (9.4), the Westfaelischen Hengsthaltercups and the Rheinischen championships, Der Feine Lord became RK vice-federal Champion with the foreign rider score of 9.5. His excellent sporting career was rounded off with an outstanding victory at the stallion performance test with a score of 8.52, where he received several 9.5 rideability scores. The 2009 Dressage European Team Champion, Der Feine Lord was also a member of the Gold Medal German Pony Team. His offspring are winning FEI level dressage ponies all over Europe with Der Kleine Lord winning Euro Bronze for Great Britain with Alexandra Hellings. Full brother Dance Star AT won Bundeschampion, Vice Bundeschampion twice over, champion at his stallion grading and now successfully competing PSG level in Germany. Over 20 of his daughters carry the title of State Premium Mare.

Die Chanel’s dam-sire, Chantre B, was Champion of his Stallion Licensing and Performance Test with a total score of 8.9 and scoring perfect 10's for both character and free jumping. Chantre B has produced multiple licensed sons and state premium daughters, and several Champions of the German Bundeschampionat.

Die Chanel comes from multigenerational States Premium mares going back 3 generations on her dam side, but sadly she was imported to the USA before she could receive this title.

Popeye is the only pony stallion (and one of only a handful of all stallions) that has been awarded 5 Stars with ISR/OldenburgNA. Popeye finished fourth overall with an 8.3 at his 30-Day Stallion test in Germany. His walk and character each received scores of 9 or higher. In his first year in the US, Popeye was Reserve Champion of the USDF East Coast Stallion Final in Dressage at Devon. Popeye has shown through 4th Level dressage with scores in the 70’s and was the 2011 Reserve Champion for Fourth Level at the BLM Finals. To showcase his versatility, Popeye began eventing in the fall of 2012 and has competed successful up to Training Level, with two different riders, often finishing on his dressage score.
