This is Élan a 2001 gelding by Wow and out of Ellie by Equubar. Wow is a 17.1 hand Oldenburg stallion by the Hanoverian stallion West Coast and out of Zookie’s Girl a TB mare. Zookie’s Girl produced 100% premium foals for the ISR/Oldenburg NA and made the Hanoverian book at age 21 being champion non-Hanoverian mare at that inspection. Ellie is a TB/Hanoverian by the stallion, Equubar. At the 2006 Old South dressage show Elan scored a 76% for Training Test 3 and won the Born in the USA award for the highest scoring American born horse at the show. Not bad for only his second show and 4th time in the ring. 4 years later in late in 2010, Elan and Marie made their PSG debut. In April of 2011, Elan came back into the ring at the Tennessean at PSG and Marie rode him to her silver medal. Elan is now competing at I1 and schooling GP. Many of our youngsters are related to Elan on the dam's side.
