Family Tree
My girl's family tree, in photos.
Her sire, One Night Stand (Bentley). He's been quite successful in
the Open Hunters and 1.20m+ jumpers, most recently showing AAs with an amateur.
Bentley's sire, Fantasts (Fanny). An imported German
Warmblood who last competed in the Open Hunters and Jumpers, and has
sired countless talented hunters and jumpers.
Bentley's damsire, Buntspecht. Unfortunately, I never knew him, but
he was always a personal favourite from the stories I've heard and the
talent he passed on. He had the highest score at the stallion testing
in Belgium in 1984, and some highlights of his career included competing
successfully at Spruce Meadows and clearing a 7' Puissance wall at the
Royal Winter Fair.
And because it's such a sweet picture, this is Bentley's dam, Vanity Fair (her sire pictured above).
Some other Vanity Fair offspring.

And now for the dam side! Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of
Mexi's dam (Hanna), but here are some offspring out of Hanna's dam,
Mary.

| Solid Gold (Mary x Fantast) |

| Price of Thieves (Mary x Buntspecht) |

| Prince of Thieves |
And finally, Mexi's grandfather on her dam side, Almez. Another
outstanding stallion whose life and career were very tragically ended
far too soon, however not before he made a name for himself in the show
ring and with his offspring.
