We were happy to hear news from New Zealand from our friends the Bank Family! The first foal out of our own bred BAKIRA (by Belissimo - Münchhausen) has produced a lovely filly. This filly was highest scored filly this year for the whole of New Zealand 78.5 points. The sire of this beauty is the Hannoverian stallion DORINGCOURT (by Dressage Royal - Glückspilz), who under Andrea Bank is this year a serial winner at advanced level.
