Brandenburg's Windstar (1994 - 2011)

By USEA

The USEA would like to extend its deepest condolences to USEA Board of Governors' member and ICP Certified Instructor, Phyllis Dawson, on the loss of her stallion, Brandenburg's Windstar.

"It was with great sorrow that we said farewell to a good friend this week, when our stallion, Brandenburg’s Windstar, was euthanized on Wednesday due to a deteriorating arthritic condition in his spine which was causing severe neurological symptoms," said Phyllis Dawson. "Resulting from past injury, his condition had progressed to the point where we owed it to him to make the only humane decision. Windstar was a kind and generous horse with great heart, and we will miss him. His legacy lives on in his offspring."

The USEA has nearly 50 offspring of Brandenburg's Windstar registered be sure and keep an eye on these horses as they will surely be future stars of eventing. The offspring include: A Midday Star, Arthur, Brandenburg's Aldebaran, Brandenburg's Andromeda, Brandenburg's Estrella, Brandenburg's Lucky Charm, Brandenburg's Starlight, Brandenburg's Starlight, Broadway Star, Chiron, Cor Leonis, Dark Star II, Estrella, Goodnight Moon, Graceful Star, Grace's Star, Gretel's Star, He's A Star, Irish Star II, It's About Time, Joyride, Maasai Star, Make Believe, Mistral, Mizar, Morning Star, Mozart, Polar Storm, Promise Windstar, Quest Star, Quinn Himself, River Star, Rockstar II, Seamus VII, Shining Star, Star Flight II, Star Surprise, Starbourne, Starburst, Starless Night, Stars Above, Starstruck, The North Wind, Touch of the Blarney, Wind In The Willows, Windfield Evening Star, and Windfield Super Cruiser.
