The beautiful
black mare Carina has a dream pedigree. She's born out of the
famous Zanka dam line (KWPN breeding family 401), which brought
lots of national and international sports horses e.g. Ideaal (by
Doruto), auction foals, and also some KWPN approved breeding stallions
(Landeur, Tolando). The Zanka dam line is at the 29th position in the
top 50 of most successful KWPN dressage breeding families (see article).Through
Rubinstein I
Carina carries blood from
the Dodona-line.
The Dodona-line has given several world famous international Grand
Prix horses,
among which Rembrandt (2 x Olympic Champion with Nicole Uphoff),
Ahlerich (2 x Olympic Champion with Dr.
Reiner Klimke) and Amon (Olympic competitor with Annemarie Keizer). The
Dodona-line is
being seen as worlds best breeding line for dressage horses.
Carina's sire Florencio
became world famous in 2004 and 2005, when he won
the World Championships of young dressage horses at Verden.
Carina is born out of
the elite/sport mare Narina, who also is the dam of approved KWPN
stallion Tolando (he was champion of the
KWPN performance test of dressage stallions in spring
2003). Narina is in the top 200 of best KWPN dressage mares in her
category, with a dressage index of 161 (KWPN table 2013). Granddam
Barina has gained 4 x the Preferent predicate and 4 x the Prestatie
predicate through her offspring. Barina is the dam of Grand Prix
dressage mare Tarina, successfully showing under Katja Gevers. With a
dressage index of 189, also Tarina is in the top 200 of best KWPN
dressage mares in her category (KWPN table 2013). In december 2012 two grandsons of Barina passed the
1st inspection of the KWPN stallion approval in Ermelo successfully,
and are therefore invited for
the 2nd inspection in Den Bosch in
february 2013.
One of them, a son of Narina named Floret
(cat.nr. 341, by Ampère x Rubinstein I x Sultan), also passed
the 2nd and 3rd inspection in
Den Bosch, and therefore is selected for the 70 days KWPN stallion
performance test in Ermelo. The Dutch KWPN magazine "In
de strengen" nr. 2/2013 wrote as follows about this young
stallion:
"Ampère-zoon
Floret vertegenwoordigt eveneens een sterke stam, en is een halfbroer
van de KWPN-goedgekeurde hengst Tolando (v. Krack C) die in de Lichte
Tour presteerde. De lijn gaat terug op de merrie Olgarina (v. Epigoon),
een halfzus van het bekende topdressuurpaard Ideaal (v. Doruto) van
Johan Hinneman. De jeugdige Floret toont souplesse en een mooie
voorbeentechniek in beweging."
Also see article "Sport is bepalend" (In de strengen
3/2013) about Barina and her daughter Narina, which is Carina's dam.
Carina shows a super
attitude, and 3 very promising gaits and a very good natural balance.
In March 2010 she took part
in the EPTM
mare test in the NHB centre Deurne. She passed successfully with
the
following scores:
walk: 8(2x)
trot: 7.5(2x) canter: 8.5(2x)
suppleness: 7.5 balance: 8.5 rideability: 8
talent for dressage: 8 TOTAL: 80
points
On the
KWPN website the following summary of the March 2010 EPTM dressage test
was given (in Dutch):
"In
de dressuurrichting behaalden drie merries de gewenste score van 75
punten of meer. Uitschieter was hier Carina (v.Florencio uit Narina
elite sport(dres) van Rubinstein I, fokker W. Wijnen uit Berlicum) van
De Engelse Hoeve v.o.f. uit Grashoek. Een grootramige en goed
ontwikkelde merrie die steeds het gewenste beeld laat zien en daarbij
in alle gangen een goed achterbeengebruik toont, waarbij de galop het
hoogste scoorde. Met een 8,5 voor galop en houding & balans en een
8 voor de aanleg komt ze aan haar totaalscore van 80 punten."
Carina also participated
in
the KWPN mare inspection in Deurne and earned the STER predicate with
80 points for
exterior and 80 points for movements. This qualified her for the CK in
Sevenum in july 2010, where she was awarded KEUR. Carina also has a
PROK certificate (good x-rays), this in combination with her KEUR
predicate makes her an ELITE mare. By obtaining the STER
predicate Carina's dam was declared Preferent (now having 2 Ster
predicated daughters and a KWPN approved son).
In july 2010 Carina was
shown at the KWPN CK in Sevenum, where she became overall champion of
the dressage mares! She was upgraded to KEUR and got an
invitation
for the National NMK in Ermelo in august. The KWPN website wrote as
follows:
"Tijdens
de stamboekkeuringen was de opwaartse trend bij de dressuurpaarden al
gesignaleerd. Regio Limburg heeft een reputatie voor wat betreft goede
springpaarden, maar de kwaliteit van de dressuurpaarden bleef steeds
nog iets achter. Deze editie kwamen echter goede dressuurmodellen in de
baan en hoofd van het juryteam, Arie Hamoen kon winnares Carina dan ook
met plezier afvaardigen naar de NMK in augustus in Ermelo. De dochter
van Florencio komt via de preferente elite sportmerrie Narina (v.
Rubinstein I) uit de moederlijn van de KWPN-goedgekeurde Tolando. Ze is
gefokt bij W.Wijnen in Berlicum en nu geregistreerd bij de Engelse
Hoeve in Grashoek. In de kampioenskeuring moest zij het opnemen tegen
de beste uit de groep 4 t/m 7 jarige stermerries, A Dream. Deze
Negro-dochter uit keur sportmerrie Lady V (v. Landwind II B) komt bij
M.B.Y.M.Broers vandaan en staat nu geregistreerd bij B.van Kessel uit
Weert. A Dream bewoog zeer sterk maar moest qua model toch iets
toegeven op Carina en mocht uiteindelijk als tweede opstellen."
