𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 ✨ – Final Chapter: New York
On the 9th of September, the SBS Team made it to the final state on its Inspection Tour 2025 list: New York! The day began at Marin Farm in Harpursville with a few inspections and a special first — the inspection of our very first U.S.-based pony stallions.
The elegant filly T-CONSTANCE VAN DE MARIN (Borsalino x Broken Vow xx) earned herself a Premium title with 48.5 points, impressing the judges with her expressive movement and harmonious conformation.
First stallion to enter the arena was WILDZANG’S SEREN GETI (Beschenhof Darwin x Den Bramel’s Rio), a charismatic 9-year-old chestnut presented at liberty and in the jump chute. With a beautiful type, loads of energy, and solid technique, he was rewarded with 51 points, including a 9 for type and an 8.5 for jumping technique, earning a well-deserved Premium title and provisional SBS breeding approval, along with an “A” for sports.
Following him was CASPARI ROYALE’S VAN PRINSENHOF’S (Anjershof Shadok x Caspari Royale), a dressage-oriented stallion who charmed everyone with his harmonious build and expressive gaits. With no scores below 9 and a powerful, balanced presentation, he earned 54 points and an “A” for sports, also securing his Premium title and provisional approval. If these two stallions are any indication, the future of SBS ponies in the U.S. looks very bright.
The team then headed to Flatbird Stable in Hyde Park for the final inspection site of the tour, where a 3-year-old mare and two foals closed out the day in style.
Dressage mare SANORY (Lord Romantic x Metall) impressed with her elegance, elasticity, and movement, earning 52 points including a remarkable 9.5 for both trot and canter. Sharing the top score of the day was the foal T-CRITICAL THINKER (El Torreo de Muze x Tinka’s Boy), praised for his well-balanced and powerful canter, expressive movement, and chic type.
Wrapping up the Tour was T-CORTADO (Bamako de Muze x Tinka’s Boy), who earned 49.5 points, with highlights including great bone structure, a strong frame, and an active canter with engaged hindquarters.

From coast to coast, the SBS Team witnessed an exceptional level of quality in both sport horses and ponies. With an impressive number of Premium titles awarded, this year’s tour reflected the outstanding breeding standards and unwavering commitment of our U.S. breeders.
A recap of the 2025 Tour will follow soon — but until then, thank you to every farm, breeder, rider, and handler who made this journey so successful. What a season, and what a future ahead!
