The Welsh pony stallion The Braes My Mobility has passed away. The 29-year old Welsh B pony stamped dressage pony breeding in Germany.

Born in 1994, the little 1.31m standing chestnut was by Steehorst Maestro out of Anja (by Eastfields Emperor x Bryan Bach). He was bred by Eva Hübeler-Schenck in Remscheid, Germany. The prefix of his name often appears spelled in two different ways, The Braes and The Breas.

He was licensed at the 1998 Schleswig-Holstein Pony Stallion licensing and named champion of the licensing.

He did his 15-day pony stallion performance test in Redefin in 1999 in driving and scored 7.40 points, placing 12th out of 33 participating stallions. In October that year he returned again to Redefin for another 15-day testing and scored 7.38 points.

According to Equitaris he was named National Champion in Berlin in 2003 and Main Premium Winner in 2007 in Weser-Ems. The German equestrian federation has now sport record on file. 

The Braes My Mobility stamped German pony breeding, which made him an "elite stallion".  In 2005 he moved to Gestut Kastanienhof where he stood up for stud until his death.

The little pocket rocket sired no less than 600 offspring, amongst them 55 licensed sons and 16 state premium daughters. 
His best known licensed sons are FS Mr. Mobility, Manchester United and Manchester City, Mister Snowman, and Maximus. 

In dressage sport his best performing offspring are Mad Max, Macciato, Mr Magic, Mr Paul, Maverick S. As a dam sire he appears in the pedigrees of international FEI ponies such as Morgensterns Delicious, Morgensterns Dakar, and Prince of Glory.

The Braes My Mobility passed away suddenly and totally unexpected in the morning of 21 November 2023. "There were no signs, his health wasn't suddenly deteriorating, he was healthy until the end," said the Coldewey family.
