Pedigree

Performance

Popeye finished fourth overall at his 30-Day test in Germany with an 8.3 overall. His walk and character were highlights, each receiving scores of 9 or higher. In his first year in the US, Popeye was the Reserve Champion of the USDF East Coast Stallion Final at Dressage at Devon. Popeye has shown through Fourth Level dressage with scores into the 70’s and was the 2011 Reserve Champion at Fourth Level at the BLM Finals. To showcase his versatility, Popeye began eventing in the fall of 2012. He was successful up to Training Level, competing with two different riders and often finishing on his dressage score.

Offspring

Popeye has sired many Premium offspring and two licensed stallions. He is the only pony stallion (and one of only a handful of all stallions) that has been awarded 5 Stars with ISR/OldenburgNA. His offspring are successful in multiple disciplines and inherit his kind eye and intelligence. In 2021, Popeye gelding Meant To Be made his first trip to USEF Pony Finals and earned a top ten placing in the Large Green Pony Hunters Undersaddle. The 2022 show season brought multiple Popeye offspring to the top of USDF All-Breeds and Zone Horse of the Year rankings, including Pixar who was Reserve Champion for Third Level Open, Princi who was Reserve Champion for 4-Year Old and Older Broodmares, and Poseidon IRF who was named Zone 2 Hunter Breeding 3-Year Old Champion. Midsummers Night’s Dream also earned a top five placing at the USDF Region 8 First Level AA Championship in 2022. Popeye is a wonderful choice for pony breeders as well as breeders looking to downsize their larger mares.
