Nordica

17.3 h, Liver Chesnut (eeAA)

Here is a daughter of the world famous Briar! She brings to Formosus some extremely proven dressage and jumper bloodlines from the Swedish warmbloods. Her sire, of course, needs no introduction but her mare line is also very strong particularly with Gaspari (who also appears in Briar's mother line). We are thrilled to have her join our broodmare band and she provides us with a perfect outcross to most of the favorite bloodlines available today. Nordica had a violent encounter with a steel gate as a three year old that injured her back and left her unsound for riding, however her full sister Brianca and her half-brother Aramis (same dam) are perfoming in dressage. Her offsprings are currently getting started under saddle and doing very well.

Temperament: Nordica is a big puppy dog. She is extremely sociable.She has high energy and likes to be active. She is usually the first to notice new things out in the pasture and also the first to investigate them. Despite her size she is extremely easy to handle and light on her feet, patient and always seeking to please. It is unfortunate that her accident prevented a career under saddle but we hope one day to start her under harness as she is easy to train and quite trusting.

Nordica is open this year and will be bred in early spring 2012 for a 2013 foal.

2011


On April 23rd Nordica delivered a chesnut filly by the proven dressage and jumping sire: Consul. He is one of the most proven stallion standing at stud in North America today with well over 10 foal crops. Consul's gets excel at all levels of dressage, eventing and jumping and he has produced many champion hunters. Most notable is the impressive career of his son Judgement ISF, who with rider B. Madden, has won over 1.5 million dollars in prize money competing in Show Jumping Grand Prix around the world.

Consul was equally good at dressage and show jumping at his stallion test at Ermelo in 1987. With excellent marks for character and behaviour, he finished 6th out of 33 stallions.

Consul has proven himself to be a very pre-potent sire, producing talented jumpers and dressage horses. The overwhelming majority of his foals have excellent temperament and a strong desire to please. In his long career at stud in the US he has been bred to a wide variety of mare: from hot TB to more heavy and quiet Dutch Warmblood mares and his qualities consistently shine through.

Gabrina is a Custom Foal.
She will be registered with KWNP-NA.
Gabrina is growing into a powerfull filly. She looks more and more like her dam with everyday. She is tall, substantial and just a huge love bug. Not much phases her. Loud noise or unexpected appearance are reason to investigate: not run away!! She is currently shedding her baby coat and looks quite moth eaten! Her little mane is growing in also and is currently sticking straight up in the air. It makes her impressive neck look even bigger then it really is!
Here is a video of Gabrina at approximately 3 weeks of age.

2009

In 2009 Nordica delivered a colt (Pic 1,Pic 2) by Champion's Devito (German Riding Pony-Picture at right.)
for her previous owner. This colt has awsome movement and although he was sold as a jumper prospect, the new owners are pondering a dressage dressage. Plenty of time to choose as you can see from the second picture taken at 1.5 yrs, this boy has plenty of growing and filling out to do. He is currently 16hh.

Prior to 2009

Prior to 2009 Nordica delivered two foals (Massimo and Mako) by Makuba (German Riding Pony-Picture at right.) for her previous owner.
