Navarone Mare Top Score in Holland The Paardenkrant newspaper in Holland reported: "The 3 year old stermare Tedaldine from A.F. Brouwer from Ter Apelkanaal has received the highest score of the IBOP in Tolbert on 27th of November with 77 points. Tedaldine got a 7,5 for walk, trot and talent as a dressage horse. The canter got an 8. For the take off and the scope she got a 7,5 and for technique and for the talent bot an 8.  Tedaldine is a bay daughter of Navarone out of the elite mare Ledaldine. She has Democraat and the ster preferent Haldine (Mytens xx x Nimmerdor) as parents."  We've heard nothing but good things from the breeders and owners of Navarone offspring in Holland.  The oldest are now 4 and they are seeing how talented they are for jumping and dressage. We are very excited espeically after his first mare presented in America, Taloma by Navarone was star and provisional Keur at the keuring this year and 2nd in the nation and after seeing that his mares were in the national finals for jumping too.  He is proving to produce very good movers for jumping and dressage with super temperaments.  We couldn't be happier with how he is doing.
