An Elegant Ballerina with a Highly Interesting Pedigree

We are excited about this super filly by the interesting stallion and performance horse Franklin and out of the Special Premium and Elite mare Rhosemary by Rosentanz. This was a purposeful blending of modern KWPN breeding with classical German rideability, and we think we have achieved our intended goals in this filly. Named a Gold Medal foal with the American Hanoverian Society, she is correct in her conformation with a harmonious topline, has elegance for days, and super quality of all three gaits. Frida Kahlo will be retained for development as a future performance horse, and hopefully as a replacement for her dam in our breeding program. Completely free of Sandro Hit, Vivaldi, and Jazz blood, she offers an interesting outcross pedigree for today's popular sire lines.

Frida Kahlo was very successful at breed shows in 2022. At Dressage at Lexington, she won the Hanoverian IBC class, was named Champion Filly, Champion Young Horse, and overall Grand Champion with an 81.9%. At Dressage at Devon, she again won the Hanoverian IBC class with a huge score of 85.95%, won the Two-Year-Fillies class out of 17 entries, was Filly Champion, Reserve Young Horse Champion (qualifying for the Grand Championship ring), as well as highest placing Hanoverian. She had multiple scores above 8, including 9s for head/neck, trot, and overall impression. A born show horse that loves to wear ribbons! We look forward to starting her under saddle in 2023.
