||||||||||||||
New for 2024! This coming 4-year old represents some of the top sires that have been represented through Hilltop over years. Sire Glamourdale has risen from licensing champion, to Young Horse World Champion, to being the 2022 Gold Medalist at the World Equestrian Games under Lottie Fry. Damsire Qredit is one of the most accomplished stallions in North America. Qredit rose from early success in the FEI Young Horse classes to winning at CDI competitions. The longtime Hilltop stallions Royal Prince and Parabol, also successful FEI horses, further anchor this exceptional pedigree.
Game On’s pedigree represents four generations of Hilltop Farm mares. His dam is a Premium (formerly known as Elite) Hanoverian mare that easily qualified for the US Dressage Finals in her first year showing. Her dam was also an Elite Mare and was an exceptionally versatile producer with offspring competing in dressage, hunters, and eventing. The granddam also highlighted that versatility in her own sport record and also produced an approved stallion.
We’ve held high hopes for Game On from the very start. As a foal, he was named Top Colt of his AHS Inspection and a Gold Medal Foal. As a yearling, he tied as the top Yearling in the country with the AHS Futurity and had an outstanding Dressage at Devon finishing 2nd in the Yearling Colts & Geldings and 3rd in the Colts & Gelding Championship. As a three-year-old, Game On was presented to ISR/Oldenburg and earned his provisional stallion license with an impressive score of 225.5 points. Highlights an 8 for his walk and an 8.5 for his canter. Early 2024, Game On was licensed with the AHS and ARS, we look forward to presenting him to additional registries and showing later this season. Game On impresses us in his daily work and our trainer Michael Bragdell has high expectations for him in the coming years.

Breeding Fees & Contracts
Mare Information
At Hilltop Farm we want to work closely with you and your veterinarian to ensure a successful breeding season and are available for questions at any time. The following information includes some basic suggestions as well as reminders on a few requirements for your breeding contract.
A Breeding Soundness Exam including a uterine culture is recommended, but not required, for all mares prior to breeding. If a mare fails to settle after two breeding cycles, Hilltop Farm will require a culture and cytology to be done at that time prior to any additional shipments of semen. We always recommend your vet checking your mare post-breeding to confirm ovulation. If a mare hangs on to a follicle longer than expected, it can be less expensive to ship additional semen than it would be to breed a second complete cycle. Getting your mare settled in foal is just the beginning. We recommend multiple pregnancy checks to help prevent cases of twins, misdiagnosed pregnancies, or lost time in the breeding season. The following schedule is what we recommend; only the first and fourth checks however are required by your breeding contract.
- 1st check (Required): 14-16 days post ovulation – optimum time for vet to pinch off a twin if more than a single ovulation is noted.
- 2nd check (Recommended): 28 days post ovulation – to confirm a viable pregnancy as the heartbeat normally appears by day 25.
- 3rd check (Recommended): 35-40 days post ovulation – to confirm maintained pregnancy prior to endometrial cup formation. Mares that slip foals early may not come back into heat.
- 4th check (Required): 55-60 days post ovulation – final confirmation of pregnancy in its critical first trimester.
Following your mare’s 14-16 day pregnancy check, please have your vet complete the Mare Breeding Passport received with your semen shipment and return it to Hilltop Farm. Any changes in pregnancy status after the 14-16 day check must be communicated to Hilltop Farm immediately. This Passport is used in all stallion reports to various breed registries and is used to generate a Breeding Certificate so that you can register your foal.

Registration & Futurity Information
Your mare’s registration and approval play just as important of a role as the stallion’s approvals when determining registration options for your foal. Please keep in mind that in order to register your foal with a specific association, your mare may first need to be presented to that registry for approval. In addition to the registries a stallion is approved with, there may be additional registration options based on your mare’s eligibility and the stallion’s credentials. If you are confused at all on registration options for a potential foal, please speak with Hilltop Farm and your breed registry PRIOR to booking your breeding.
