Two Riverman Offspring Compete at the 2010 Rolex

Kristi Nunnik and her 2001 16.2 grey Holsteiner mare R-Star made their debut at the 2010 Rolex Kentucky along with Heather Morris aboard Slate River, an 11 year old Oldenburg gelding.

R-Star (Riverman x Marisol) was bred by Charlotte Wrather and the 1998 Oldenburg gelding Slate River (Riverman x Etoile), bred by Elizabeth Callahan, owned by Allison Freeman, and competed by Heather Morris.

Hilltop Stallions Lead USEF Rankings

Hilltop Farm is thrilled that three of our stallions have been named USEF Leading Sires of the Year for 2009.

Contucci (Caprimond-Lungau) is the Dressage Sire of the Year; Riverman (Redfort-Landego) is the Eventing Sire of the Year; and for the second year in a row, Royal Prince (Rohdiamant-Prince Thatch xx) is the Dressage Breeding Sire of the Year (and Bugatti was ranked second in this category). What a wonderful Christmas present for Hilltop's owner Jane MacElree! A related congratulations goes out to Dr. Elizabeth Callahan who is the USEF Eventing Breeder of the Year, based all on successes of her Hilltop-sired offspring. Dr. Callahan's exceptional breeding program has produced such horses as Slate River and Balmoral and this honor is well deserved. (December 2009)
