Broadstone Dramatik

Owner Mrs Frieda Macklin

Dramatik was the Champion at the British Warmblood grading held at Catherston Stud in 1999, where he beat the prolific stallion Dimaggio. At the Grading both Judges described him as an outstanding 2 year old with the ability to produce athletic horses for dressage, showjumping and eventing.

In Western Australia he won his first Dressage Test with over 70%. He is in training with Roz Tippett in Western Australia. In his first season competing he won every time out and is a WA novice and elementary dressage champion 2004. He was medium and advanced dressage champion WA 2005 and won a Silver medal in the Summer dressage series. In 2006 he was Advanced Champion at the WA State Championships. 2011 Dramatik is now competing and winning at Grand Prix level see results below.

Dramatik is a beautiful quality horse with expressive paces and a superb temperament. He passes his exceptional conformation and elastic paces on to his youngstock. We have used his semen on a wide variety of mares from 14.2Hh jumping ponies to larger showjumping and dressage mares as his pedigree carries top International Dressage and Jumping lines.

Dramatik has been used on selected mares progeny includes, Macklin Debonair, Macklin Dramanyo, and Macklin Dramero, Reserve Champion Sports Horse Myerscough 2004, Champion Yearling and Supreme Overall at Champions of the Future 2003.

Sired by the International Dressage Horse, Demonstrator, he has a pedigree of pure Hanoverian breeding, including Dynamo, Don Carlos, Pik Bube, World Cup and Argentan. This relates him to an impressive array of competition and breeding horses such as Dollar Girl (Nick Skelton), Bockmans Genius (Hugo Simon), Diavolo, Aramis (S/J World Cup winner), Weltmeyer, the breeding and competition stallion Don Primero and the Celle stallion Don Juan.

The judges at the British Warmblood Grading, Dr Haring and Dr Wedekind, described him as a "picture of the breed", having a lot of expression, a good top line with a well set neck and four correct legs which fit the body well. He displayed elastic movement using his back and shows impulsion, being awarded a 9 for both his trot and canter. In the free jumping he used his front well, had a good bascule and was well balanced. This stallion was a fine example of what the judges were looking for, movement for dressage, jumping ability, good conformation for soundness, and a pedigree which has passed this down through the generations. The judges also remarked on his striking resemblance to his great Grandsire Argentan.
