Balgownie SONATA

Maurits Friso x Spring Fever Height: 163cm AFWHS 330 |
With much sadness I now type that Sonata is no longer with us. She laid herself to rest during the same night in which she had previously lost her colt foal. This is such a devastation for us, a mare loved by all who she touched, a mare we loved to spend every day with and hoped she would be with us to a ripe old age. She has left quite a legacy behind her with the footsteps of her progeny - every one of Sonata's foals have to this day remained unbeaten in the Show ring by any other Friesian partbred their own age or below. I don't think there is another FS mare that can boast such a record. RIP March 13th 2010. Sonata is a Friesian x Tb (Friesian Sporthorse) mare (50%), she is by Maurits Friso out of a race winning TB mare, Spring Fever who stems from Aquanitor. This mare is just astounding, she bedazzles the judges with her impeccable manners, and leaves them star struck after she shows off her fantastic paces. Sonata has many Supreme and Champion awards to her name, conquering other Friesian partbreds, open Warmbloods and stallions alike, she is THE complete package! Her first foal, KP Femke captured the hearts of everyone. She exceeded our expectations, consisting of beating her mum in the show ring and having a string of Supreme and Champion titles to her name before she was even 1 year old! Femke, like her mum, is a very strong contender in open company, surpassing many mature Warmbloods and remained unbeaten in WA by any horse her own age or below, before she left to her new home in NSW. Sonata's second foal, is the colt KP Elkochino, and what an amazing mover he is! Very light and supple on his feet, he just floats! Like his big sister, with only 3 shows to his name, where he gained 2 Champions and a Supreme! At his latest show the judges commendations were, she'd never seen a better example of a Friesian Warmblood in WA! Chino has since gone on to win many more Supreme titles and top 5 horse of shows, he is shaping up to be quite a beautiful horse. Sonata's third foal is the beautiful filly KP Romance (Julia), who has just started her assault on the Show Ring, and who would have thought - SHOWN 3 TIMES FOR 3 SUPREMES!!! Both in Friesian partbred ring and Open WB rings. Just perfect! Her latest foal KP Oracle, by our stallion Omer RS is an absolute cracker! The very best foal we have bred to date. This combination is just magic, and this was verified at the 2010 ACE Tour. Oracle scored the highest result ever by any Friesian Sporthorse to enter an ACE Classification! Sonata is an invaluable mare, and mother, she is one of the cornerstone's of our stud and cherished by all, and her progeny shout loudly at the quality she brings to the Friesian Sporthorse types. We miss you dearly. Rest in peace our beautiful girl, forever in our thoughts and lived on in legacy by your foals - Femke, Chino, and Julia. SOME SHOW HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED:
