"Solaris Givennchy" Simply stunning, and quite frankly the most exquisitely attractive and correct coloured filly we have had to date with her attractive and quite unique markings.

Feminine, elegant, with beautiful uphill movement, quality limbs and correct conformation this beautiful filly truly is the full package.

Although a full sister to Solaris Fechinna, CHAPS Inhand Champion Reserve Royal Highland Show as a yearling, she really is very different in many ways, to the point it is hard to believe that her parents are the same. However like her full sister, Givennchy is very much a product of our own breeding program, stemming from our foundation and successful show jumping Keur mare "Quinine". Her dam, a Ster mare "Chiquita" was our first homebred filly by "Cappucino Van Berkenbroek" a son of Contender and her sire is our own homebred homozygous tobiano stallion Solaris Buenno by our foundation stallion "Umenno" out of "Edwina".

The bloodlines in this fillies pedigree include many great show jumping sires such as Nimmerdor, Contender, Ekstein, Joost, Grand Veneur, with the influence of the Thoroughbred sires Lucky Boy and Pericles x. The colour comes from the worlds greatest coloured sire "Samber".
