Banbury Brio (Banbury Coronel x Banbury Chata)
1980 PRE Stallion, 15.2 h, Grey (Deceased)
Banbury Brio was owned by Jana Baumaster-Gaber's Unicorn Valley Farm
(UVF) and was bred by Banbury Cross Farms from mainly Terry lines. He is
related to some of the best known horses of Spain. His athleticism was proven
in his long, successful performance career. Brio was a consistent winner of
Performance High Points at Andalusian and Open shows. He was a winner in
dressage through second level, but his outstanding jumping ability took him
from dressage to combined training and show jumping where he competed
through Preliminary level.
As the sire of one of my mares and the grandsire of three others, Brio figures
very prominently in my breeding program, and I am very pleased with how
his bloodlines have crossed with the other dominant line of my farm--Indiano
XVIII.

Breeding Program & Foundation Bloodlines
I am deeply indebted to USDF 'L' judge, Sherry Spielmaker, for the foundation of my breeding
program. Sherry owned Elysian Acres (EA) Andalusians in Pflugerville, Texas, and she helped
me select my breeding stallion, Odilon JIM and was his first trainer . She taught me most of
what I know about evaluating horses as dressage prospects, and she was among the first
breeders in the United States to recognize the potential of the PRE as a sporthorse.
All of my PRE broodmares are products of Sherry's breeding program. Her foundation horses
were selected for their expressive front limb movement balanced by powerful impulsion, good
walks, straight extensions, and superb temperaments.
