Coco
Coco is a classically bred Holstein mare combining some of the best bloodlines they have. She was bred in the UK by us and returned to Germany for branding and received a very high premium and was subsequently sold.
Unfortunately she had a nasty accident in the field and her new owners could not see her being fit for sport and so we are fortunate to have her back for breeding. Her dam Fortuna is a superb State Premium mare with a proven record of producing horses that are competing at the highest levels. She is thought to be one of the last State Premium mares by the great Capitol 1. She is from Stamm741 which has produced stallions such as Randi,Cardento and Cardenio.
She has had an outstanding colt foal by Cornet Obolensky born in February 2011 called Millfield Cornelious,
We are devastated to have lost one of best mares at only 4 years old, who is sadly missed and irreplaceable to us. RIP Coco.
