Ariadne
|
Ariadne is a tall, elegant
and radiant chestnut filly who was the premium Reserve Champion at her
ISR/Oldenburg NA foal inspection, finishing one-tenth of a pointout of first place!
Her sire Albarez is an approved Holsteiner stallion with impressive show
credentials as both a hunter and jumper. Ariadne’s paternal grandsire is the
Aloube Z son Alcatraz,
winner of his 100-day stallion test in Germany with the highest score ever (
including a 10 for jumping ability) and reputed to be one of the most handsome
stallions in the history of the registry. Ariadne’s dam, the Thoroughbred mare
Ballyecho, has produced several ISR champion foals and is known for passing on great height to her
offspring. Ballyecho reflects significant blood from both Damascus, the
1967 TB Horse of the Year and winner of that year’s Preakness, Belmont and Wood
Memorial stakes, and Northern
Dancer, winner of the 1964 Kentucky Derby and Preakness and considered to be
the most influential racehorse sire of the 20th century. Currently standing at 16.3 hands, Ariadne’s
potential as a sporthorse prospect seems limitless. She is elegant and charismatic with exceptional movement and astonishing talent over fences.
