For those of you who don’t know the connection, Nadine was bred by our good friend, Gerard Vervoorn, and it is from this line that we began our breeding program with Nadine’s one-year-younger sister, Orchis (Jazz x Roemer). To give you an indication of how much I believe in this line, we currently have 15 mares and fillies here and in the Netherlands, as well as three stallion prospects, from it. Additionally, there are many of you lucky enough to have SSF fillies from this line. Nadine was a shining example of the quality and talent this damline produces. What an incredible mare. Condolences to all involved. Nadine had a storied career.
