Born on May Day, Flora is named after the Roman goddess of flowers and spring. This leggy filly is by Thorsten (Torsetblakken x Thilde by Plutonikk) and out of LVG Faski (Prydarson x Skjenna Gard Fiorgyn by Felix).
Flora produced and exceptional colt with Tsjalle in April 2023. DD Ty has exceeded our expectations in regards to conformation and disposition. Even though we had planned to leave Flora open for 2024, we have been so pleased with this cross that we have decided to breed Flora back to Tsjalle and she is confirmed in foal for early April 2024.
Her sire, Thorsten, is a colt that Dan bred in 2014 with frozen semen from the Norwegian stallion Torsetblakken and out of our lovely mare Thilde. At the time, Dan was not able to keep Thorsten and our sweet Thilde passed away in 2018 (10 months pregnant with a Siljar foal). We are very happy to now have something from Thilde back in the program.
Flora is an elegant and refined filly who turns everyone's heads everywhere she goes
She is nicely sensitive and responsive. We are very pleased with how Flora is maturing physically and mentally.. She has been ponied in the mountains, is doing very well with her in hand training and has been started under rider this summer.
Since Flora is in foal for next year, we will continue to do light walk work under rider, but nothing hard or intensive. Hopefully next year after foaling we can hit the road running with a solid foundation.
