Harnita has produced three international showjumpers and the damline has produced seven approved stallions and eight international showjumpers.
Wang Chung m2s was the 2008 CSI** Zwolle "Future Stallion" Champion with Dutch rider Eddie Brinkman. In 2009 German rider Felix Hassmann began competing Wang Chung m2s and the stallion was named Vice-Champion of the "Cycle Future Elite" in France after winning five international classes and placing fourth in another international class in CSI*** and CSI**** shows in France.
Wang Chung m2s is also approved by the Anglo European Studbook, Irish Sport Horse Studbook, and the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland.

Dear Friends,
Here is a great holiday gift idea for a friend, colleague or loved one.
The Warmblood Studbook of Ireland (WSI) has recently upgraded one of our membership benefits.
WSI membership of euro 75 now includes a free annual subscription to both Horse International magazine and L'Annee Hippique, the beautiful equestrian yearbook published by BCM in cooperation with the FEI. Normally a subscription to these two excellent publications would cost euro 82.50 for EU residents and euro 127.00 for those living outside Europe. As a WSI member, no matter where you live, you will receive both publications for free!
Even better, individuals who join in the next two weeks will receive the above benefits plus you will receive an extra issue of Horse International for free. This free issue, dated December 2009, is being published this week.
I invite you to join horse breeders, riders, and owners from 11 countries who are now members of WSI. And with our benefits it makes sense to join us even if you do not anticipate registering foals with WSI.
A membership form can be downloaded by going to:
http://www.irish-warmblood.com/forms/2010MembershipApplication.doc
If you live outside the euro zone you may pay your membership dues in your local currency by means of a personal or business check. We will honor the following currency exchange rates during the month of December and WSI will pay all currency exchange and banking fees:

Fernhill M2S Represents Portugal at World Breeding Championship for Eventers
We were pleased to learn today that our homebred 6-year-old gelding Fernhill M2S represented Portugal at the CCI* World Breeding Champion for Young Eventing Horses at Lion d'Angers (France).
Fernhill M2S has competed in only six events in his life so sending him to this tough championship was a big ask. Unfortunately the gelding was eliminated on the cross-country as he simply did not have enough experience to handle this difficult competition.
Fernhill M2S (birth name Confidant M2S) was sired by Morningside Stud's Holsteiner stallion Condios and is out of the Irish Sport Horse mare Rainmaker (Chairmaker x Elm Hill RID).
Several weeks ago Fernhill M2S placed 3rd in the CNC* Michael Leonard Memorial 5 & 6 Year Old Eventing Championship in Ireland.
We expect to see good things from this horse in the future.

KWPN Awards "Prestatie" Predicate to Harnita
We were delighted to hear from the KWPN today that our ster preferent mare Harnita (Ahorn x Erdball xx) has received the predicate "prestatie" in recognition of the three international showjumpers she has produced. Our 6-year-old stallion Wang Chung M2S has competed in 6 international classes so far this year and he has placed 1st in five of the classes and 4th in one class.
We believe this is the second time that a KWPN mare in Ireland has been awarded the prestatie predicate based, in part, on the results in showjumping achieved by her progeny bred in Ireland. The first time was several years ago when Morningside Stud's keur preferent mare Gudrun, the dam of Ulysses M2S, was awarded the prestatie predicate.

Polias de Blondel is now the 11th progeny of Desir du Chateau that has competed in international showjumping.
We thank Elise for keeping us informed and wish Melba Girl and her team continued success.

Irish Minister of Agriculture Approves Warmblood Studbook of Ireland
Brendan Smith T.D., the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, yesterday approved the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland's application to operate, under EU and Irish legislation, the studbook for the Irish Warmblood horse. This historic action has ended the monopoly on sport horse breeding in Ireland previously exercised by the Irish Horse Board/Horse Sport Ireland.
The Warmblood Studbook of Ireland (WSI), a division of Irish Warmblood Studbook Ltd., was founded by Tom Reed and Dawn Kelly, owners of Morningside Stud, and Claire Wood, a horse breeder and trainer also from the Killaloe/Ogonnelloe area of County Clare.
WSI's mission is to help breeders produce international showjumpers that will compete in international Grand Prix, Nations Cup, World Cup, and Championship classes. The Studbook will conduct stallion and mare inspections and the focus is on breeding stock that has clear potential to produce international showjumpers. Each foal will be inspected and the results of those inspections will be fed back into the Studbook's ongoing stallion and mare evaluations. Strict limits have been put in place to restrict the percentage of Irish Draught blood in the stallions and mares approved by the WSI.
"We shall measure our success by how many foals we produce that later become international showjumpers, not by how many foals we register," said Dr. Thomas Reed, Managing Director and Breeding Director of the WSI. "By design we are committed to staying small and selective and to working with like-minded breeders with very good mares who are committed to our vision, goals and strategy for the Irish Warmblood. We also hope to build a community of breeders who generously share their knowledge and insights with each other."
The Studbook developed its rules and procedures based on Morningside Stud's own successful breeding program and the policies of the Holsteiner Verband and the KWPN. "We did not feel the need to reinvent the wheel, so we adopted many of the features of these two very successful studbooks" said Dr. Reed. "But at the same time we have definite views on what works well and what works here in Ireland. For example, we are adopting the Holsteiner's very important philosophy of concentrated genetics and the primacy of the damline while simultaneously adopting, and in fact expanding on, the KWPN's philosophy of ongoing evaluations of stallions before lifetime approval is granted. For our veterinary requirements we have been heavily influenced by the strict yet pragmatic philosophy of the KWPN and the University of Utrecht, a philosophy that resonates very well with the partners of Troytown Equine Hospital in Kildare, who comprise the Studbook's Veterinary Committee. Essentially what we have done is to make explicit for this new Studbook the formal and informal rules and rubrics we have been following at Morningside Stud for the last ten years as they apply to our own stallions, mares, and progeny."
The first foal to be registered by the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland was born on St. Patrick's day, the day before approval was granted: Aibhlinn Bella M2S (by Cornet Obolensky and out of Pandina Bella by Landino x Voltaire) bred by Morningside Stud. With her sire being an Olympic showjumper and her grand-dam Dorina Bella being a full-sister to an Olympic showjumper this Irish Warmblood filly has her career already mapped out.
More information about the Warmblood Studbook of Ireland is available at www.irish-warmblood.com

Yesterday we received an email from Elise Megret, breeder of the 2000 mare Melba Girl (by our stallion Desir du Chateau and out of the mare Bizanne by Narcos II). With the French rider Felicie Bertrand, Melba Girl "jumped at the Sunshine Tour (CSI***) during the last five weeks. She was almost every time clear. Among her performances there she finished 4th in the Small Tour Grand Prix (1.35 - 1.40 m.), 3rd and 4th in the Big Tour A classes (1.35 m.). Last week she was double clear in the Big Tour's Small Grand Prix (1.40 m.). I added the videos on youtube.
First Round
Jump-Off Round
This weekend she made 4 faults in the Jump Off of the Big Tour's Small Grand Prix but she jumped very well."
Thanks, Elise. We wish you continued success with this super daughter of Desir du Chateau!

Wang Chung M2S Moves to Germany
Our 2003 stallion Wang Chung M2S (Royal Bravour x Ahorn) moved to Germany last week and will be ridden for Morningside Stud by German international rider Felix Hassmann. After settling in with his new rider Wang Chung will be competed in national and international 1.30 m. and 6- and 7-year-old classes.
Felix Hassmann is a 23-year-old international rider who has been competing internationally since 2001. Among his achievements are winning 3 individual medals (one gold medal and two silver medals) and 7 team medals (including two gold medals) in the European Young Riders and Junior Riders Championships. Following his debut in 2001 (as a 15-year-old!) at the World Cup Show in Berlin where he won the Knock-Out class, Felix has gone on to place 1st in the Grand Prix at the World Cup Show at Poznan, 2nd in the CSI**** Frankfurt Grand Prix, 2nd in the CSI***, 3rd in the Nations Cup at Podebrady, and countless placings in other international classes. Felix has had a lot of success producing young horses and receives a great deal of support from his parents and his older brother, the international rider Toni Hassmann.
We thank Eddie Brinkman and his family and team for doing such a great job with Wang Chung for the last two years. Besides winning the Future Stallion title at the Zwolle International Stallion Show in 2008, Eddie consistently produced super results with the stallion by providing Wang Chung a strong education and foundation. Even at his last show, at the end of December, Eddie and Wang Chung won the 1.20 m. class at Laag Soeren (Netherlands) with 60 starters and 15 horses in the jump-off despite being the first horse in the jump-off.

Our Trip to Uruguay
We have just returned from a week-long trip to the beautiful country of Uruguay, a small nation (approximately 3.5 million people) in South America bordered by Brazil on the north and Argentina on the south. During the trip we were able to see all the horses we have sold to Uruguay including progeny of the stallions. We also watched the 2003 stallion Wind Shear M2S (Ekstein x Orlando x Iroko) compete in 1.20 and 1.30 m. classes. One of the highlights of the trip was watching Wind Shear in a puissance-type competition on the beach at the beautiful Punta del Este resort. Wind Shear cleared 1.60 m. and placed 2nd in the competition.
We thank our friends in Uruguay for the fantastic time and we wish them continued success with their horses and breeding program.
