Little Bit Farm is pleased and proud to announce the addition of the Hanoverian stallion Tiamo Trocadero (Trapper x Diana/Darling/Traumgeist xx) to their herd and breeding program.  An international Grand Prix dressage competitor earning over 70% at top CDIs in Europe, Tiamo was an alternate on the British Dressage team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics before being purchased byKarin Reid Offield of Offield Farms.  As an amateur owner, Karin won multiple USDF year-end awards at the FEI levels with Tiamo, and then retired him to stand at Hilltop Farm. 

 

Tiamo Trocadero is licensed by the German Hanoverian Verband and approved by the American Hanoverian Society, ISR/Oldenburg, and GOV. We will continue to make Tiamo’s foundation Hanoverian bloodlines available with fresh cooled and frozen semen. 

 

Tiamo's 2008 colt, Tiamo’s Royal Reid, out of a Davignon/Werther mare will also join his sire at Little Bit Farm.
