Continuing its planned breeding program, Touchstone Farm imported this outstanding Oldenburg Stallion in May of 1993. Bajazzo was selected on the strength of his pedigree to meet the requirements for a tall, athletic horse with dryness of bone and good trainability. The combination of his sire Barsoi, contributing the refinement, a tremendous gallop and length of stride, and his dam, Grandella, from the famous Hanoverian line of Grande, contributing dressage and jumping talent, proved to be perfect for the next generation of young performance prospects.

Performance

Bajazzo successfully completed the Stallion Test in 1983, receiving his highest marks for character, trainability, jumping, trot and especially walk. Shortly after he was sold through the prestigious PSI SALE to an amateur owner under whom he competed successfully in all three disciplines, three-day event, jumping and dressage.

Offspring

Bajazzo was used very sparingly as a sire in Germany, due to his previous owners’ competitive activities. In spite of this he had one son, Bellini, who followed in his footsteps to the PSI SALE, Nov. 29, 1992, selling as a top dressage prospect. His offspring in Canada are very elegant and refined and show exceptional athletic ability. Among his many Canadian-born foals is the  Canadian Olympic three-day event horses Buenos Aries, that was top placed team horse at the 2008 Olympics in Hong Kong under Sandra Donnelly. He is also the sire of the approved Canadian Warmblood stallion Beau Soleil as well as numerous successful jumpers such as Southwind 5-year-old Canadian Young Horse Champion.

His sire Barsoi xx produced many top competition and sale horses for the Hanoverian and Oldenburg registries. His Hanoverian great grandsire, the legendary Grande has produced his own well-known line of jumping and dressage horses which include the famous Stallions Grandeur and Grannus.
