Daily Dancer (IMP)
DAILY DANCER (IMP)
Sire: Dornik B
Dam: SPS Mirca (Miraculix x FS Pavarottie)
Breeder: Claudia Fleurkens
D.O.B: 28.04.2016
Licensed: Hessen (Licensing Champion)
Daily Dancer was purchased from the 2016 Ponyforum Auction, originally named Dorniks Dynamit. Combining the bloodlines of Dornik B, Miraculix and FS Pavarottie, we felt that he could provide a new dimension to our breeding program with bloodlines not available in Australia. He shows three elastic swinging paces, great conformation and an enviable pedigree.
THE STORY SO FAR
Daily Dancer was the Licensing champion at the Spring licensing in 2019, and won his Bundeschampionate qualifier in 2019 in addition to a win and a placing at two other outings.
Daily Dancer has grown out of pony height at an unofficial 152cm, however he carries small genetics with 5 full siblings all well underheight and all pony breeding.
Described at his licensing as an "extraordinarily sporty and dynamic riding pony with an enviable pedigree”,
Daily is the only stallion to provide those elusive Dornik B and Miraculix bloodlines in Australia. Dornik blood has successfully crossed with every GRP bloodline currently available in Australia with many ponies at FEI pony level and above in the open classes.
The PEDIGREE
Daily Dancer is by the Champion stallion Dornik B. Dornik B is one of the most successful Pony stallions of all times. He has 8 European Championship Gold Medals, 4 times Bundeschampion, twice the Deutsche Meister. His contribution to the genetics of pony dressage can not be faulted nor underestimated.
Daily Dancer's dam is the State Premium mare Mirca. She is the dam of a licensed stallion by FS Coco Jambo. Her Sire Miraculix has produced numerous licensed stallions and State Premium daughters. Most notable is the double Bundeschampion Magic Cornflakes.
