16. ARTESIS VAN DE NACHTEGAELE

ABOUT THE TALENT

Artesis van de Nachtegaele is a true diamond in the rough. Still young in her body, she already convinces with tremendous scope, beautiful front-end technique and an intelligence at the fence that belies her age. There is a real fighter mentality to this mare; careful, determined and always committed to the task in front of her. Her sire Riesling van de Gaathoeve is only nine years old and already making his mark at Grand Prix level, finishing double clear and second in his very first 1.60m Grand Prix with McKayla Langmeier. Her dam is a sister to three proven international performers: 1.55m Kato van de Nachtegaele, 1.50m General van de Nachtegaele and 1.45m Hella van de Nachtegaele. Still developing, yet already leaving little doubt about her ability, Artesis has all the scope and mentality for success.
