| Black Dog's Fiorella |
|
Black Dog's Fiorella (AKA Ella) was born on May 9th, 2005. She is a lovely bay with a pretty blaze.
She is quite correct and a people filly. She is by the Trakehner stallion, Feuertanzer.
Ella was bred for athleticism and she definitely has it! She will not be a super heavy WB type, but also not as
light as a TB. Her mother is a very well-built TB and Ella is built uphill, with a lovely neck set and pretty gaits.
She should mature around 16.1H. Ella has scored as high as 77.6% in Dressage Sport Horse classes! Ella
also finished 2006 in 5th place for Hunter Breeding Yearlings for Zone 4.
Ella will be staying at Black Dog Farm, to be bred for Connemara crosses.
