Carnaval Empress (Gem) is by the world champion Carnaval Drum.  Her dam was not papered but was a successful BSJA pony.  Gem was bought from Andrew Bonnelli-Baird in Fife, and has successfully competed in BSJA up to Foxhunter level, Riding Club Open level, and showing classes.   

This beautiful mare has excellent conformation, balanced floating paces, and a careful, scopey jump.  She has a wonderful temperament and is very easy to do.  She is an outstanding mother and produces confident, friendly offspring.

PROGENY:

In 2003 Gem was put in foal to Clare and John Whitaker’s international show jumper, Randi (Ramzes III).  She produced a fantastic chestnut colt - Elvingston Paper Tiger (pictured below).  Tiger was sold last year and had great success in 2007 and in the BEF Futurity Awards.

In 2006 Gem produced an exquisite chestnut filly by Tadmus (Calvados x Concorde).  Bellissima will be registered with the KWPN and be retained by Elvingston Stud.  For more information on Tadmus please go to www.team-nijhof.nl

Gem had a coloured filly foal in 2007 by a coloured thoroughbred stallion, Ricco (Captain Maverick (Nureyev) x Zhivago).  For more information on Ricco go to www.angrovestud.com
