"Wanting to change directions in the horse industry, Emilia Quaggiotto took a chance and bought a black Welsh Section C colt with one half blue eye after looking at just one photo. While she normally would never buy a horse without seeing it first, she had a feeling that the gangly colt, known as Halcyonia Night Life, was going to be special.
This talented 5 year old stallion “aced” everything that was thrown his way. “Ace,” as he is now known in the barn, started off by driving and showing in-hand. Once he was ready, he started dressage training. In his growing career, Ace has won top placings in Welsh breed shows in Canada and the USA for in-hand, driving, and riding. He was the 2023 and 2024 USEF National Champion in Welsh Section C & D English Pleasure. In dressage, he has won multiple blue and red ribbons, scoring above 70%, Reserve Champion in the 4-year-old Futurity, and Reserve Champion stallion in the Open Sport Pony Breed show at the 2024 National Dressage Pony Cup.
Although Ace is young, he is proving how versatile he is by competing and placing in multiple disciplines against older, bigger horses. Along with his winning ways in the show ring, this up-and-coming stallion has a winning personality and temperament. Ace is Westfalen approved and working towards other approvals as well.
