"Farah" is nicknamed after the blonde bombshell, Farah Fawcett, who won the affection of nearly every American boy. Our own Farah suits this nickname very well, as she has flashy markings, a peculiar flaxen mane & tail, and tremendous jumping talent. Although she's trained in showjumping with us, her movements are more like a hunter/jumper than a true showjumper, although she is no less speedy. She simply makes it look easy and relaxed, with a grace over fences that is rare to find.
Upon examining her pedigree it is no wonder that she has such a flair for showjumping. Her pedigree is littered with showjumping champions of KWPN, Holsteiner, and Selle Francais blood. This mare is a true gem for producing world-class showjumpers.
Sire: Burggraaf (Landgraf I (HOL) {Ladykiller x Warthburg (SF) x Loanda (HOL) {Cor De La Bryere (SF) x Urbine (HOL)})
Dam: Karina (Ekstein {Zion x Zaniki} x Diana (WEST) {Dirigent (WEST) x Schwalbe (WEST)})
About the Sire: BURGGRAAF is a RL keur KWPN stallion who competed in international showjumping. In fact, he is the leading sire of showjumpers in Holland by far, although he is also known for producing great movement for dressage (he's ranked 2nd as a dressage sire in North America). It's no wonder, as his sire is one of the most influential jumping sires of all time, the Holsteiner stallion LANDGRAF I, and his dam is by another of the most influential jumping sires of all time, the Selle stallion COR DE LA BRYERE.
About the Dam: KARINA is a RL 1992 KWPN mare sired by EKSTEIN, a renowned showjumping sire who was the KWPN 7 Y/O Showjumping Champion in 1993, and in 1990 he was ranked 3rd at the KWPN Young Stallion Competitions. He was also Champion of his KWPN Performance test with some of his highest marks lieing in jumping undersaddle and character.
