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.
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!
Her sire is the Dutch stallion Timor sired by Inco to a Havstad daughter. Timor is very closely related to Dan's former owned stallion Tico, who was imported from NL by Green Valley Farm in Illinois. However, Timor is with 14.2hh a much horsier version with the same jaw dropping movement and stunning head. Timor's mother, a mare named Kelly, is a fullsister to the Dutch stallion Manus. Timor has had an impressive production record, breeding well into his mid 20s and going strong.
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 (she can only not be bred to 3 stallions in NA including our OstFin) and unique package. Not to mention her beautiful grey coat color as the icing on the cake!
We are looking forward pairing Vita primarily with outside stallions to genetically diversify the gene pool in our program while boosting movement, beautiful heads and excellent breed character.
