“Every year after the World’s Championship Horse Show, I take some time to reflect on all of the classes that I saw, the horses that I think were special and the horsemanship, ringmanship and showmanship that I saw. This year, Kristen Bagdasarian’s ride on Monnington Sebastian Coe in the Kentucky County Fair 5-Gaited class was a masterful display of horsemanship, ringmanship and showmanship. It’s worth watching over and over to see how masterfully Kristen rode this horse, managed the ring, positioned her horse expertly for displaying him to the judges and the perfection of horsemanship in how she bridled the horse and how she asked the horse to do the very most that he could but did not ask the horse to do more than he could. I was truly inspired by watching her show this horse. The best ride of the week in my opinion.” – Scott Hagan
**********************************************************
Hagan Saddlebreds would like to thank everyone who attended the World’s Championship Horse Show Saturday night to support WGC HS Daydream’s Heads Up. Scott says, “The sound of the crowd cheering was completely unbelievable to me.”
We are very proud of Heads Up and his Reserve win in the Fine Harness World Grand Championship division. Heads Up never ceases to amaze us every year with his explosive attitude and performance in the ring and his gentle nature in the barn. He is one of a kind.
André van Schalkwyk, Bryce Smithwick and Diego Carreno at Lead Way Farm are also to be commended for their top notch training and care. We could not do this without them.

What happens to Hagan Saddlebreds’ broodmares after they have produced their last foal? They retire and become Hagan Saddlebred pensioners. Scott would like to thank Fred Sarver (Cornerstone), all of the veterinarians at Equine Medical Services and the LeBlanc Reproduction Center at Rood & Riddle for the extraordinary care they give his mares. Scott says, “All of Hagan Saddlebreds’ pensioners get the best care available until they die naturally or must be humanely destroyed. The expertise and diligence that Fred, Equine Medical Services and the LeBlanc Reproduction Center at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital put into my mares is extraordinary and is greatly appreciated.”

Hagan Saddlebreds presents for the 2022 season – WGC HS Daydream’s Heads Up (“Heads Up”). Look for him to be shown by Scott Hagan in the ASB Fine Harness Division at the 2022 Midwest Charity Horse Show and in the Open Fine Harness division at the 2022 World’s Championship Horse Show at the Kentucky State Fair.
Scott’s horse of a lifetime, Heads Up, needs no introduction. Heads Up is a product of one of the most royal families in modern Saddlebred history and he represents the epitome of the Hagan Saddlebreds breeding program. This extremely athletic and gifted gelding is out of Broodmare Hall of Fame great WC A Daydream Believer, dam of WGC CH Castledream, WCC CH HS Dignitary, WCC HS Decorum, WC HS Daydream’s Celebrity, WC HS Daydream’s Perfect Gentleman, WC HS Daydream’s Believe In Me, WC HS Daydream’s Fashionista, RWC CH HS First Day, RWC Dream Castle, HS Daydream’s Elegance, HS Daydream’s Wicked Wendy, HS Daydream’s Knockout, HS Daydream’s Masterpiece, HS Daydream’s Dignity and more.
Heads Up is by multiple World’s Grand Champion sire Undulata’s Nutcracker, sire of Fine Harness World’s Grand Champions Nutcracker’s Nirvana and CH Lady Mandolin, 3-Gaited WGC CH Macadamia, 3-Gaited WGC CH Don O’Neill, WGC The Crowd Went Nuts!, WCC Graduate Student, WCC Katharine’s Prophecy, WCC HS Brilliant Heiress, WCC Pappy Van Winkle, WCC CH Little Black Dress, WCC CH HS I’m A Dreamer, CH WCC Katharine The Great, WC HS I’m Hot Wired, HS Close Enough To Perfect and many more.
Heads Up’s accomplishments to date include:
* 2022 EQUUS Foundation and USEF Horse Stars Hall of Fame inductee.
*2021 ASHBA Horse of the Year.
*2021 Kentucky State Fair Open Fine Harness Stallion/Gelding World’s Champion and Open Fine Harness World’s Grand Champion.
*2020 Kentucky State Fair 3-Gaited Over 15.2 World’s Champion and Open Three-Gaited World’s Grand Champion and in doing so, made Heads Up’s dam, WC A Daydream Believer (BHF), only the second mare in Saddlebred history to produce World’s Grand Champions in different divisions – WGC CH Castledream in Fine Harness in 2009 being her other World’s Grand Champion progeny.
*2019 Kentucky State Fair World’s Champion in the 3-Gaited Over 15.2 Stake and Reserve World’s Grand Champion in the 3-Gaited Grand Championship.
*Continuing to show in the Open division with Scott as his amateur owner/rider aboard, Heads Up was crowned the 3-Gaited Reserve World’s Grand Champion in 2016 and 2017.
*2015 Kentucky State Fair World’s Champion in the 3-Gaited 15.2 and Over Stake with Scott Hagan.
*2013 Kentucky State Fair World’s Champion in the 3-Gaited 15.2 & Under Stake and Reserve World’s Grand Champion in the 3-Gaited Grand Championship with Tre Lee, while just a junior horse.
*2012 ASR National Futurity 3-Year-Old 3-Gaited World’s Champion and Reserve 3-Gaited World’s Grand Champion with Tre Lee while just a 3-year-old.
*2011 Kentucky State Fair World’s Champion in the 2-Year-Old 3-Gaited Division II class with trainer Tre Lee, up. In this same class, his half-brother, WC HS Daydream’s Celebrity, was Reserve World’s Champion with Walden Bullard, up.
Scott says, “For reasons I will never know, Heads Up lets me do with and ask of him what he is so reluctant to do for others. He has pushed me to the highest level of horsemanship I am capable of and has been forgiving of my mistakes. In my opinion, Heads Up is the greatest 3-gaited horse of all time (and I’ve seen them all since 1963).”
Heads Up is expertly trained and cared for by André van Schalkwyk at Lead Way Farm and André’s contributions to Heads Up and Scott have been immeasurable.
Below is a photo of Heads Up and his stall mate, Lucy, in their leisure time. Lucy also travels with Heads Up to all horse shows.

Hagan Saddlebreds presents another of its Standardbreds for the 2022 season – WCC Hawker 850 (“Hawker”). Look for Hawker to be shown by Scott Hagan this year in the Amateur Roadster To Bike or Roadster To Wagon division.
Hawker is a big bay gelding by Neely Dunn, a Standardbred stallion known for having a lot of speed and whose offspring have topped many sales. Hawker was bred by Andy Burkholder in Holmesville, Ohio and is out of Personal Trainer. He made quite a splash in his first year in the show ring. Registered with the USTA as Neely Trainer and formerly showing under the name of Outer Banks, Hawker was crowned the 2020 USTA World’s Champion in only his third horse show appearance.
Hawker was purchased by Hagan Saddlebreds in 2021 to show in the Amateur Roadster To Bike division. Due to his extreme speed, classic good looks and high quality, he was renamed Hawker 850 after the popular corporate jet. His trainer, Shane Mullens of Diamond View Farm, put the new team in the ring at the 2021 Mercer County Fair where they debuted to win the Amateur Roadster To Bike Stake. They then started the week off at the 2021 World’s Championship Horse Show at the Kentucky State Fair by winning the Amateur Roadster To Bike Division I class and finished the week by earning the World’s Champion of Champions Amateur Roadster To Bike title. A former owner described Hawker as, “A smart horse that loves attention, is 100% natural and is the epitome of a Standardbred.” We agree.

Hagan Saddlebreds presents for the 2022 season – WC Smoke Stack. Look for him to be shown by Scott Hagan in the Open Roadster Under Saddle division.
Smoke Stack is one of the most popular roadsters under saddle showing today. He is a Dutch Harness horse and is registered as Donamite. Smoke Stack is by Dondersteen and out of Soline (a Dutch Harness/Hackney cross) by Solist. He was bred by Daniel Stolzfus and first showed in 2016 when he competed in the Dutch Fine Harness division as well as in the Roadster To Bike and Roadster Under Saddle divisions. In 2018, he was undefeated under saddle all year until the Kentucky State Fair. There he earned the title Open Roadster Under Saddle World’s Champion but had to settle for Reserve World’s Champion of Champions in the Roadster Under Saddle Stake. He followed up later that year with a win at the Dutch Harness Finals in the Dutch Roadster Under Saddle Stake. In 2019, he was again undefeated all year in the Roadster Under Saddle division until the Kentucky State Fair where he won the RWC Open Roadster Under Saddle title.
Scott says, “Smoke is the coolest, toughest and gamest horse I own (with the exception of WGC HS Daydream’s Heads Up). He has a big fan base and has helped popularize the Dutch Harness Horse breed. This handsome, black gelding is young and looks to have a long and highly successful show career ahead of him.”
****************************************************

Bred by Atlantic Trot Inc., he is a big bay gelding out of Armatrading and by Sebastian K S, who is considered one of the world’s fastest trotters of all time on a 5/8 mile track and was the 2014 Dan Patch Older Trotting Horse of the Year winner in Sweden.

I would like to thank André for his great work with Diamond and Bailey Bare for the wonderful care she has given Diamond for many years.”

We couldn’t be more proud to have bred OUR horse of a lifetime, WGC HS Daydream’s Heads Up (Undulata’s Nutcracker x A Daydream Believer (BHF)). He is treated like royalty, and knows he will be “king” of the barn for life. And he should be, as he is the only horse in history to win both the Three-Gaited and Fine Harness World’s Grand Championships with an amateur, with the amateur exhibitor being his breeder. He is just the second horse in history to earn both of these World’s Grand Champion titles. We give credit to his dam, the late and great A Daydream Believer (BHF) and of course to, one of the greatest sires of all time, Undulata’s Nutcracker!
