The four-year-old mare Money Penny became champion of the four- to seven-year-old dressage mares at the Central Inspection at de Mortel last weekend. ”A more than sufficiently developed mare, she has a very good trot in which she remains remarkably well closed. Her flexibility in movement is also very positive”, commented inspector Bart Bax. Money Penny’s dam performs in the international Small Tour.
Money Penny (Everdale x Krack C) was declared ‘ster’ with 80/85 and became now ‘voorlopig keur’. The mare is bred by Miléna Aubry and owned by Maarten and Nicole Donkers.
