In the short time Erykk was shown, he qualified for US Nationals in English Pleasure, Park, Informal Combination and Pleasure Driving. In this period of time, Erykk was schooled by Gene LaCroix, the only person to have trained/ridden the entire family. Balagan, *Era and Erykk have all been in his barn! Gene noted that, "Erykk is an unconventional horse as compared to today's breeding and is without a doubt a very naturally high trotting Park horse." Erykk has been under the guidance of Guy Benefield, who also 'discovered' our stallion Gitar MF. In 2008, Erykk began his breeding career standing at Arabian Horse Services with Jeanne Johnson. Our team looks forward to the 2009 foal crop from an extraordinary line up of his first outside mares.

Bred for motion, both Erykk's sire and dam were park horse "freaks". Now that both BALAGAN and *ERA are gone, Erykk represents our last link to this incredible talent pool. BALAGAN was a multi-National performance champion from the incredible legacy of NEGATRAZ and MHR PORT MACJA. Though minimally used as a sire, BALAGAN has several champions to his credit in English Pleasure, Country Pleasure, Pleasure Driving, Halter and Dressage. *ERA was a Regional Park Champion, sired by Park horse champion *CARACYN and out of the legendary ESKAPADA, Polish National Reserve Champion Mare and foundress of an incredible worldwide dynasty of champions. An aristocrat dam, *ERA is the dam of Pacific Slope Reserve Champion English Pleasure EMAGE OF, English Pleasure winner *EREBUS, and multi-English Pleasure champion EX PARTE, full brother to Erykk.

Come see for yourself - he's incredible! Tall, 15.1, stretchy, extremely "loose" and with miles of neck - Erykk will be a serious contributor to tomorrow’s performers.

EROTYKKA
(Erykk MF x Hailto The Queen)
2008 Grey Filly

 

Owned by Jeanne Johnson and Guy Benefield, EROTYKKA is the perfect combination of beauty and extreme athletic ability. She is exceptionally well balanced, with a pulse-stopping trot that is as powerful as it is fluid. EROTYKKA is a splendid example of Erykk's ability to transmit his tremendous trotting ability to his foals. Please click the link below to see this incredible filly for yourself!
