The 1st Kaareltje Grand-daughters Come of Age

Having now owned Kaareltje for eight years it is hard to remember a time when the Gentle Giant was not part of the family.   How fun it is to look back to his first foal, Kastiana Sahal out of Wrave, and to watch her her two daughters as they come of age.   Nova, by Parcival, now has a new owner and has been confirmed in foal to the spectacular Totilas.    Her owner is ecstatic with the big young mare, who has her father's laid back and kind disposition.

Two year old Hannah Boden, (pictured above) Kastiana's second filly by Licosto, is now two.   Her owner says she is a lovely mover who has the potential to succeed in both the dressage and hunter arenas.   Both mares are tall like their dam, and seem to have inherited her big heart as well as her big body.   Kastiana herself is now under saddle and enjoying low level eventing with her rider.   How nice to see the second generation of Katje foals 'all grown up.'   We can't wait to see our own Katje fillies, Imari and Ishin Maru, at maturity.   At the rate these yearlings are growing it will seem like the blink of an eye!
