President Reagan accepts Maestoso Blanca-76, Amadeus, a performing stallion, from members of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna at ceremonies on the south lawn of the White House (11/19/82).

The stallion is a gift to the President from the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. It is a tremendous honor to receive one of these magnificent royal-blooded stallions, fully trained to the highest Haute' col as a gift.

The bloodlines of this rare and historic performing stallion sired our mare, Daniela. This mare is the main mare-line of our farm. These bloodlines are helping to produce temperament and dressage ability in our foals.

It is both an interesting and novel experience to look through books on the Lipizzan breed and see so many of the ancestors of Amadeus in such prominent display.
