Its not the European style or the American style but the adoption of experience and best practices of successful breeders, trainers and veterinarians. It builds on the psychology, sensitivity and patience of the interactions with the Horse. Imprint – Foaling to Weaning

The foundation sire and mare of our breeding program is the stallion Palme City (diseased in 2007) Trakehner and Sound of Trumpets, Thoroughbred mare. Their first offspring was a bay colt in 2010, a registered Trakehner, currently matured to 16.2h and entering advanced training. In 2013 we acquired another TB mare, Leotine by Lion Hearted and was bred to the Dutch Warmblood, Consul. In June 2014 Leontine foaled filly named Joyful June. In 2104 we added an 8 year old 16h gray TB mare Go Seek. Our plan for 2015 includes a breed back to Consul to Leontine, a Selle Francais to be decided to Go Seek and Sound of Trumpets to Trakehner Palme City. Our program for 2015 also includes the sale of 17.h gray Takehner stallion Palme City’s frozen semen. FOUNDER
Our founder, Bryant Dunetz is a life long horseman who brings his experience in the equestrian world of more than 60 years. It started out at the age of 12 in his native Brooklyn, New York. There a livery horse could be rented for $2 per hour for a hack in Prospect park where he rode with his best friend. His resume covers the gambit of equestrian activities from Western to English, from riding to driving to racing, from pony club to tent pegging and polo crosse and fox hunting, to founding and operating the Southampton Horse Center in Bel Air, Maryland. You might say that this venture is a rebirth of the former stable or a life long passion to apply this experience to breeding and the people who care about horses. The goal is to have a vibrant, successful stable that is recognized as a leader in winning and customer satisfaction with application of the best practices in developing healthy equine superb athletes. Southampton Sport Horses, LLC has also been formed to create successful partnerships among equine enthusiasts and owners in three primary competitive Olympic equine sports. This will be accomplished through best of pedigree breeding, acquiring, training and showing talented, Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds in Grand Prix, Dressage, Jumping and Eventing.

Odie is a 3 year old homebred registered TB by Aldrin. Odie is unraced and has been raised at our lovely farm from birth. He has less than 30 days under saddle but has taken to it so easily! He is quiet, easy going and loves attention. Odie will excel as a lower level show horse, foxhunter or trail partner. At 16.2hh he is all legs and will continue to fill out…maybe even grow another inch or two!

Wyvern is a fantastic mover and easy to the jumps. Was used in a lesson program but is not a “lazy” type, making him unsuitable for beginners. Wyvern is a trail riding pro! Lives out 24/7 and barefoot. Located in Bluemont Va.

Who is looking for a quiet fantastic moving addition to their program? Magnesite is a 15.3hh dark bay 8 year old. Mags is quiet enough for an advanced beginner to flat and fancy enough to win a piece of the hack. He trail rides and hacks out alone. Mags is best suited for a confident/soft rider over fences and has local jumper miles.
