Lineage

This Rousseau daughter is out of the ster preferent mare Lotus, a daughter of the dressage horse sire Donnerhall. Next in the dam-line is the renowned ster preferent prestatie mare Charites. She produced Nadine (s.TCN Partout), the mare which Hans Peter Minderhoud is competing successfully in the Grand Prix. In addition, Charites is the dam of the approved KWPN stallion Kroonjuweel (s.Belisar), two ZZ-advanced level horses, and five Z-level dressage horses. The dam-line continues with the keur preferent prestatie mare Lies (s.Eros) and the kroon preferent mare Fresia (s.Wachtmeester).

Veterinary Report
The glandular fever the stallion contracted in the first week of April has responded well to treatment. No other abnormalities observed.
