2024 Filly by German Riding Pony stallion Branley Ash Nautilus out of Verb. Pr. St. Edelkind (Ehrentusch/Fidermark). Her dam has produced premium daughters as well as a licensed stallion son.
Awarded Premium at her inspection, Nicola boasts Warmblood quality gaits in a petite package. She is harmoniously built with a strong topline and correct, modern length of leg. We expect Nicola will make an impressive and competitive sport horse in the future.
Dam- Verb. Pr. St. Edelkind has produced many exceptional offspring throughout her breeding career, with daughters achieving Premium status and a licensed stallion son. Having raised many of her siblings, we feel confident that Nicola is sure to follow suit. Edelkind stamps a strong, quick hind leg and a swinging walk.
Her sire, Branley Ash Nautilus, was one of the easiest horses we have ever had the pleasure of raising. Nicola is similarly sensible, with a kindness and willingness about her that reminds us of him as a coming yearling.
