Branley Ash Nautilus is a talented pony stallion who has acquired an extensive sport record! He was
a consistent competitor in-hand from his yearling year forward, earning top scores and placings,
including winning the Pony Grand Championship at the prestigious Dressage at Devon in 2021. Nautilus
returned to Devon in 2025, where he was named Reserve Stallion Champion and won the USDFBC East
Coast Stallion Final. Partnered with Molly Maloney, Nautilus has been equally successful under saddle.
He has been the USDFBC New England 4-Year-Old Materiale Champion, the USDF Region 8 Champion
at First Level, and earned a fourth place at the US Dressage Finals. In 2025, he easily stepped up to
Third Level, earning a third place in the USDF Region 8 Third Level Championship. Nautilus’s pedigree
highlights talent for the sport. His sire, FS Numero Uno, has been an exceptional producer with more
than 70 approved sons and 73 premium mares. He has sired Bundeschampionat winners and has
multiple International FEI Pony competitors to his credit. Nautilus’s dam, an Elite Mare, has produced an
Elite daughter, two licensed stallions, and is the maternal half-sibling to two licensed stallions. Damsire,
Dornik B, was exceptionally successful in the dressage ring, winning the Bundeschampionat for four
consecutive years and earning Individual Gold at the European Pony Championships three times. From
the small number of Nautilus offspring produced in previous seasons, many are earning top finishes
in-hand. The 2024 foal, Aphrodite, was winner of the USDFBC North East Foal Final with an impressive
score of 81.9%. We look forward to seeing more Nautilus offspring in the show ring in the coming years!
