those of their progeny. Her grandsires,
Indoctro and Ramiro, are
both preferent and superior to have as bloodlines and
are among the top jumping stallions in the world! Also, preferent
sires Marco Polo and
Nimmerdor, who was declared the
Dutch Preferent Sire of the Century, as well
as the Selle Français
foundation sire,
Cor De La Bryère, appear in Tilly's outstanding pedigree.
Tilly's mareline is very strong - both her dam,
Hentina, and granddam, Arina, have been
awarded the keur predicate indicating their high quality in
conformation and movement and also their performance capabilities. Tilly's great
granddam, Robertina, and her
dam, Albertina,
are both preferent
indicating that they have produced at least 3 offspring that achieved star
status. Irame has also been recognized with a keur elite status and
great granddams Robertina and Olanda have been awarded the prestatie
predicate, indicating that they have produced at least 3
offspring that have achieved at least M2 (4' jumping or Third Level dressage)
with at least 2 points (clear rounds or above 60%).
Tilly
was green broke as a 4-year old (2007) and then Nadia
McConnell, a Grand Prix dressage rider, put the finishing touches on
her. Nadia worked closely with Eva-Maria
Pracht, recipient of the Team Canada Bronze medal at the 1988 Seoul
Olympics.
Tilly
then spent several months with an advanced dressage rider in the US before
tending to her duties as a mother in 2008.
In
2009, Tilly resumed work under saddle and
was started over
small fences where she displayed outstanding scope! Tilly
is very
honest under saddle, has a soft, supple mouth, lofty floating gaits, and
huge bascule. Pre-purchase vetting and radiograph reports are
available (Oct. 2009). Top bloodlines, beauty, quality and movement
makes this mare a valuable asset to any breeding program and future
sport.
