Patina
Presidio - Remondo - Lugano van la Roche - Flugel van la Roche 2007 Black Oldenburg Filly $*
|
The last of our 2007 babies, Patina is well
worth the wait. Correct conformation,
black color, lots of spring in her step and
almost enough flash to be a paint. Patina
is a great jumper prospect and looks to
have enough movement for dressage as
well. Patina was orphaned at 6 weeks
when her mother died from colic. Patina
has been adopted by Cartier and her
daughter Prada and is being nursed and
sistered as their own. As she was
presented for inspection only 9 days after
being orphaned she still showed signs of
being depressed from her loss. She
earned very favorable comments about
her movement and conformation but did
not show enough sparkle to receive a
First Premium.
We are delighted to report that by 10
weeks of age she is fully recovered. She
is very happy playing with and bossing
around her brothers and sisters. Tina has
regained her sparkle and is joined at the
hip to her adoptive sister Prada (as seen
above). We think she has a brilliant future
as a hunter, jumper, or broodmare.
