"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".

sires Lucky Boy and Pericles x. The colour comes from the
worlds greatest coloured sire "Samber".
