Description

It is a great pleasure to introduce from the breeding of James Walker a gorgeous filly by Feinrich, Forever a Lady, who certainly lives up to her name.

Champion of his Mecklenburg licensing in 2015, the Fürst Heinrich son Feinrich has a reputation for making particularly beautiful foals, and this young lady is no exception. With multiple licensed stallions from his first crop, he passes on wonderful type and performance with elegant long lines and outstanding movement.

Forever a Lady’s dam, Lady's Day, was the winner of her foal grading and has produced 3 offspring to date. Her dam, Lady Nels, is half-sister to the PSG/Inter I horse Figaro de Hus who competed successfully with Aurelie Bacle of France and the Oldenburg licensed stallion Hot Story. She comes from an outstanding mare family that goes back to the famous Oldenburg mare Love Story, from which come the important stallions Decamerone, Touch of Love and Fürst Willhelm. From the direct motherline we also have the Grand Prix stallion Dreamcatcher, who was successful under the saddle of the Dutch rider Mirelle Kemenade-Witlox.

Forever a Lady is Lady's Day's 3rd offspring, the eldest being the successful 5 year old Furst Love, by Fürst Romancier, who scored over 70% at BD Novice on his first competitive outing and is proving an exceptionally trainable and exciting prospect. Her second offspring, the 2-year-old Donovan, by Don Deluxe, was graded Elite Premium by the Oldenburg Studbook and was the Elite Foals Tour Regional Champion at Springfern in 2018.

In her futurity evaluation, this elegant filly convinced with long lines and three active and naturally balanced, expressive gaits.

A wonderful prospect for a serious buyer with and exceptional and highly valuable pedigree.
