Everything you need to know about The Cherry Blossom Equestrian Center...
At CBE we hold our horses and our trainers to a very high standard. All horses must undergo strict placement tests before they are allowed to breed or compete. We are very proud of our horses and of the incredible achievements they have made. Below we have listed the criteria each horse must meet before they are allowed to breed or compete at a community based level.
Qualifications for Stallions at Stud...At the Cherry Blossom Equestrian Center we take the breeding of our horses to be very serious. To assure that only the best of the best are allowed to breed, we have developed a strict screening process which allows us to make sure that only the best traits, athletics abilities and conformation are being passed down to our Stallions offspring. In order for a Stallion to be allowed to breed they must pass these qualifications.

The time a Stallion spends as a Performance Stallion shows us what possibilities he may have as a stud later on in life.
Athletic Ability: Performance Stallions must show a willingness to learn and compete A Stallion is only allowed to compete when his Jumping Skill reaches Level 10 A Stallion is only allowed to compete when his Racing Skill reaches Level 10 Typical Performance Stallion Stats: 1,000 or more perfect jumps Tireless Leaper Frequent Flyer 50,000 or more meters galloped 10 or more hours spent training for racing Long Distance Racer Endurance Equine The most important aspect of a Performance Stallion is their ability to win, horses with longer winning streaks are more likely to be picked as studs in the future Personality: The time a horse spends as a Performance Stallion is his greatest opportunity to learn new traits. The following are ideal traits to be learned: Agile Fast Playful Friendly Performance Stallions must be eager to work, with plenty of energy and enthusiasm for their sport Conformation: More emphasis is placed on a Performance Stallions athletic ability than on their conformation, however a horse with excellent conformation will have a better chance of being chosen as a stud later on in life Performance Stallions should exemplify the ideal breed standards |

At CBE we believe that competing mares are just as important as competing stallions, and we strive to make their opportunities to succeed as equal as possible. A Performance Mare receives no slack when it comes to training and competing expectations, they are pushed to the same level as the stallions, and for that reason they are often the best mares on the circuit.
