Broadway Lights was born May
1, 1996 at Performance Breeders in West Virginia. She is Hannoverian,
by Bruderherz (Bolero-Eizenherz), out of a german vhW mare (Trapper-Marconi).
She was sold as a weanling to a wonderful couple in Gerry, NY which is
half way between Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY. They also own her older full
brother and the two where joined at the hip, almost
like they knew they were brother and sister. They took Broadway to the
1997 Dressage at Devon Breed Show where she placed
4th. Unfortunately, the owners had their good nature taken advantage of
and having little use for Dressage horses (they were more into Western),
decided to sell both horses.
When I received the video of Broadway on Christmas Eve,
I knew she was the horse for me. On the video, she did not only show wonderful
movement, she also showed tons of personality. So I quick booked a flight
out to see her before anyone else to get to her. I stayed at the farm
in the warm hospitality of the Pacitti's(owners) for 3 days and I was
sold! I left a deposit before flying back home. It took another month
or so before she could be shipped to her new home,
February, 1998.
In 1998 and 1999,
I returned with Broadway to the Dressage at Devon show to compete and
get her use to travel and showing.
