Briar's owner and breeder Hans Goransson, says "Bella Karoli is the closest to Briar in looks, type and talent of any other offspring I have seen."
             
             Bella Karoli is the first American born and bred approved son of Briar 899.  His sire, Briar 899, is currently the World's highest ranking dressage
             stallion and World's #2 dressage horse in competition.
               
             Bella's dam, Sedona, is by the famous International Grand Prix Dressage stallion Rambo DH by the famous Ramiro line.  She was the second highest
             scoring mare in the U.S. during the 1997 inspection tour.  Sedona has had all Class 1 offspring including a full brother, Ballios, who is Briar's first
             Diploma in the U.S.
               
             Bella's pedigree has extremely proven bloodlines in International dressage competitions.  His excellent temperament, and expressive gaits will improve
             upon all types of mares.
               
             2006 was Bella's first breeding season.  We are looking forward to following the show careers of his first foals.
               
             Bella is owned by Sporthorse Connections and is standing and being trained by Kendra Menzies at Caballo Ranch.
