KWPN-NA Hunter Vb (Foalbook) papers

Foaled May 5, 2008

17.2hh mature

An inquisitive and strong filly with amazing sabino markings.  Doramé ("Dora") has a beautiful blaze and white on all four legs with matching diagonals - front right and back left both have huge stockings above her knee/hock, and front left and back right have small white pastern markings.  Doramé is all legs and will be very tall.  She is already 15.2hh as a yearling.

Doramé has an outstanding pedigree with top Dutch, Hanoverian and Holsteiner bloodlines.  Her sire, Popeye K, is a successful hunter competing in the USA and has been the WEF Regular Confirmation Hunter Circuit Champion several years in a row and is ranked #1 in the 2008 USEF Leading Hunter Breeding Sires.

Maternal grandsire Oramé is currently competing successfully in Europe in Grand Prix jumping.  In his youth, he was the only stallion to win both the Stallion Show and Test.  Oramé is a superior jumper athlete and continues to win the Six Bars competitions year after year - his highest record was over 2.00m (~6'6") in 2008!  Paternal grandsire is none other than the world famous preferent stallion, Voltaire, the 2001 USA "Hunter Sire of the Year".  Other ancestors in this filly's pedigree include the preferent stallions Indoctro, the 2006 USEF Jumper Sire of the Year, Ramiro and Nimmerdor, the 2000 "The Stallion of the 20th Century" in the Netherlands.

Dora has undergone inferior check ligament desmotomy surgery on both front legs due to clubbing, which we believe was due to environmental factors.  This is a common surgery and her prognosis is very good.  She should have little or no complications or future hindrances from this surgery.  Radiographs are available.  ***Soundness Guarantee!!***  Information on the procedure can be found here:
