A very well bred Filly by Iroko. Dam by Olympic Lux and is also the dam of Dassett At Last with Lousie Harwood in Britain. Grandam is by Candle King a son of the great King of Diamonds.
This filly is small but has loads of quality and will make a super prospect in the young rider classes. She is a very brave and gutsy type with intelligence. She’s also easy to handle.
She is a very nice model that will show well with lovely movement and is well able to jump as displayed in the video.
Wouldn’t expect her to grow beyond 15.2 (she’s currently 15.1 with front shoes on)
From the same home as LVS Movistar who is also a son of Iroko, that won the Burghley Young Horse competition in 2014
She’s currently unbroken but has had a good deal of handling.
