Pyxis client review

Pyx was bred by Diane and Patrick Truxillo of Baroque 'n Dreams in Anza, California and purchased by us as a 9 month old. We decided to leave him in California to grow up with his siblings until he was about 2.5 years old. After coming to FL we waited until he was 5yrs old before starting him undersaddle. Pyxis was started at Game on Eventing in Newberry, FL but now is with FEI dressage trainer Meagan Maloney of Tiara Equestrian in Ontario, CAN.

On October 21, 2019 the Danish, representing the KNN, came and Pyxis earned his breeding license for 2020 and 2021 with flying colors. Not only that, but he came home with the Best Stallion AND the Best In Show titles! He was an absolute star through the rainstorm, braving the mud and the scary umbrellas. He received a perfect score on his vet inspection and 9's on both his trot and canter to finish with an 8 overall. We're so beyond proud of how well he handled everything. We are looking forward to full stallion approval in the fall of 2022!

Pyx is a powerful stallion wrapped up in a big, sweet, spotted candy wrapper. He is not your typical mouthy guy and enjoys all the love. He is currently winning championships at 1st level dressage, but next dressage show he will step it up and debut at 2nd level. So, stay tuned ... OH ... he is already schooling small steps of Piaffe too ❤

Lets not forget that Pyxis' strong Zangersheide jumper damline bred by Olympic breeder, Koos Derks of the Netherlands, is a great asset to Knabstrupper breeding! Superb canter, beautiful trot, athletic jump and top-notch temperament will take him to the top.
