Timor x Raika van de Bilterhoeve by Brijol/Hertug *2024
Vita
Vita is the only grey daughter of her sire Timor (Inco x Havstad), so we could not resist importing her in 2024 from the Netherlands. Her movement is breathtaking and her extremely beautiful head earned her an A premie.
We love Vita's ....
- pretty face
- movement
- lineage
Vita will be raised in our youngster herd and eventually be bred to a complementary stallion when she is mature.
We are so THRILLED to have this stunning filly in our program!
She is sired by the Dutch stallion Timor (owned by Annabel van den Berg). Timor, who was born in 1998, is a yearmate and ¾ sibling to Dan’s former stallion Tico, who was imported to the USA by Green Valley Farms in Illinois.
However, Timor at 14.2hh is a much horsier version with the same jaw dropping movement and stunning head. Timor's mother, a mare named Kelly, is a full sister to the Dutch stallion Manus. Timor has had an impressive production record, breeding well into his mid 20s and going strong. Timor is “Model- Prestatie & Keurhengst”.
Vita's dam, Raika van de Bilterhoeve, is a 1 premie champion mare sired by the famous Brijol. Brijol is approved in 7 European countries, more than any Fjord has ever achieved! He received scores of 43.5p respectively in Norway and was also "Dagen Hest" at his stallion testing in 2015. Raika's mother is sired by the Norwegian stallion Hertug, who is also the sire of the import stallion Flotren.
While Vita's bloodlines are maybe not as uncommon in North America when you look past the first couple generations, they are combined in a different and unique package. Not to mention her beautiful grey coat color as the icing on the cake!
We are looking forward to pairing Vita primarily with outside stallions to diversify the gene pool in our program while boosting movement, beautiful heads and excellent breed character.
