Morningside Stud was founded at the end of 1999 with the purchase of our Holsteiner stallion Condios. Since that time we have developed a very selective breeding program that has produced two approved stallions (both of which are jumping international young horse classes) and many exciting prospects purchased by international showjumping, eventing, and dressage riders throughout Europe, the United States, and South America. Our only goal is to breed and produce athletes that will compete at the very highest levels of international sport. This goal is clearly expressed in our mission statement: "Morningside Stud's mission is to breed and produce international Grand Prix / 4* competition horses for the three Olympic disciplines of showjumping, eventing and dressage by crossing world-class warmblood sires with mares that possess outstanding performance bloodlines and athleticism." To achieve this mission we use the best genetics in our breeding program wherever they can be found and we operate within studbooks that provide the most flexibility; simply stated, we will not have our breeding choices dictated to us or constrained by any third party. Our stallions were born into the Holsteiner, Irish Sport Horse, KWPN and Selle Francais studbooks and they are approved by over a dozen studbooks throughout Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.  Our mares were born into the Anglo European, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Danish Warmblood, Holsteiner, Irish Sport Horse, KWPN, Trakehner, and Weatherbys Non-Thoroughbred studbooks. We register most of our foals with the Anglo European and KWPN studbooks but occasionally we use other studbooks including Belgian Warmblood, Irish Sport Horse, Trakehner and Zangersheide. Along with selling semen from our stallions we sell our homebred young horses. And in the last few years we have been retained as consultants by clients seeking breeding advice and planning the development of breeding programs. More recently we have taken on the responsibility of managing the career of a young stallion for a European client.
