Pedigree research, Esops Fable and Asiate

Could anyone tell me more about either of these stallions?

Trying to find a bit more about the dam line of our mare, Esops Fable is listed as Dutch WB, by Le Mexico (SF). Asiate is listed as Hanoverian, by Abdulla.

Google is not being my friend on those two. Appreciate any info you have/can find :slight_smile:

E’Sop’s Fable

E’Sop’s Fable:

Quoted from the 2005 SF Stallion Guide: “Licensed upon successful presentation at North American Dutch Keuring in 1991, with WPN. Shown by amateur owner at Training Level Dressage, scored 70% winning both tests entered. Showed Modified Jumpers with many high placing from 1992 to 1996. In 1994, he tied the GTE Huntington Beach High Jump Record of 6’6”. Approved Facteur Selle Francais, September, 1994"

He is listed at 16’3" and born in 1986, Bay, star, narrow stripe and connected snip; right front sock, hind half-stockings.

It also notes that he has offspring performing as Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage and Event horses.

There is a photo of him jumping and he looks to be a lovely jumper.

It also lists his owners, Jim and Kathy McDonald, McDonald Performance Horses in Tucson, AZ. A quick google search shows the same phone number listed for them as in the stallion guide. I will PM it to you if you would like it.

This was an article chronicle did on him.

I have ridden quite a few of his offspring. Many are here in Arizona.

Nice horses, all very athletic. The stallion himself was an amazing jumper.

Here is his picture.

WOW! Thanks!! I sure didn’t find squat when I ran him through the search engines, but maybe if I had been hunting under SF…
Appreciate the information!
