Elly is out of the Holsteiner Bailerina PT. She is out of Cicero, a son of Cor de la Bryere and on her dams side is Le Santo, a son of Landgraf I! So she carries bloodlines of some of the most influencial stallions in the Holsteiner breed. So she traces to top Holsteiner breeding on both her sire and dams side of the pedigree.

As you can see from her pedigree, Elly is bred to be a top class hunter, jumper or eventing. She also has the movement to excel in dressage. She certainly has the conformation, movement, athletic ability and bold personality to excel. She is very outgoing and friendly with a bold personality, she's not afraid of much. She was presented with the RPSI in September 2015 and was awarded Gold Premium status and champion filly! She has full registrations papers through the RPSI. I expect she'll end up around 16h.
