Bordergrove Georgia (Mia) was recently purchased from Lorna McFayden in Coldstream.  This striking yearling is bred in the purple with famous names on both sides.  She has excellent conformation with plenty of bone, athletic and elastic paces with a heart-stopping trot and well-balanced walk and canter, and a very sweet, laid back temperament.

Her sire, Guido, is descended from the great Hanovarian stallion, Lugano, who sired world-class horses such as Lugano Van La Roche (Darco’s sire) and Egano, who was a Dutch gold-medal horse ridden by Jos Lansink, to name a couple.

Jennie Lauriston-Clarke bred Mia’s dam, Dainty Diva, at the Catherston Stud.  Her sire, Dutch Gold is by Dutch Courage, the foundation stallion of Catherston Stud, who has been one of the most influential warmblood sires of successful competition horses in the UK.  His stock have excelled in every sphere, and his breeding lines are keenly sought after as his stock have proved to be forward thinking, intelligent and athletic performers.

Mia will go forward for grading in the future, and will be used as a broodmare for the stud.
