Bellarina is a daughter of the stallion stallion performance test champion of Bavaria in 1987, Saphir le Fol. Saphir le Fol was, as one expects it from a French jumper, absolutely brilliant in the parcours. He gave his offspring his dark coat, a good size and a great jumping ability.

Bellarina's Dam Bessy has indigenous and old bloodlines, which are the reason for the coolnes she gave Bellarina.

Bellarina's character can's be described with words, she's such an honest and respectful horse! Bellarina always shows you when she doesn't like something or when she has a problem with the saddle or something. She's extremely sensitive. But she would never be unfair to a rider, as long as he's not unfair to her. She's got lots of temperament but still she would never freak out, she always takes care of the humans around her which is really awesome when one thinks about her bad past in which she had been beaten over high fences by a former owner.

That's the only reason I didn't show her in showjumping classes yet... she reminds her bad past and gets really nervous and not controllable for me as a non jumper anymore.... poor girl.

Bellarina has an extraordinary good jumping ability. Her rideability is very good as well but she has a lack of power and action in her gaits though she really tries and makes a nice impression as a dressage horse.

When I look for for a fitting stud for her I want to concentrate on double gifted studs with very smoth but as well powerful gaits with very active hind legs and a good jumping ability so that I don't ruin hers. Plus I prefer dark studs, as a personal wish ;)
