Lineage:
Ghandi is from Bojengel's (s.Uptown) first year at stud. Bojengel is currently competing in the Small Tour under Stephanie Peters. Ghandi's dam Beaudea (s.Tuschinski) excelled in her mare test and earned the elite predicate. Ghandi's granddam Vanea (s.Rousseau), who competed at Z2-level dressage, carries the elite, preferent, and sport(dres) predicates. Mondea, Ghandi's great-granddam, is also a Z2-level dressage horse. This daughter of the keur stallion Houston boasts the keur, preferent, prestatie, and sport(dres) predicates. She produced several successful dressage horses, including Andea (s.UB40), Z1 level; Tristan Tigre (s.Jazz), Small Tour; Ustnar (s.Osmium), Z2 level; Zodea (s.Rousseau), ZZ-advanced level; and Vanea, Ghandi's granddam and a Z2-level horse. The dam-line continues with the keur preferent prestatie mare Danea (s.Nabuur), followed by daughters of Ronald, Wagner, and the Amor son Armand.
