DKS Family at St. Lô

DKS family invades Normandy!

The show jumping season in France has resumed this week at Pole Hippique de Saint Lo in Normandy. And we were there with no less than 4 DKS bred horses jumping from 25-29 May 2020!

The fun fact is that all four horses come from the same family: the big star Ekano DKS Semilly, the future star Ombre de Quidam DKS, the up-and-coming Forget-me-not DKS, as well as the first timer Gilly Express DKS, all share the same mother/grandmother!

The dam of Ekano DKS Semilly (Kannan x Cumano) is Kumana DKS (Cumano x Cento), whose mother is Centina (Cento x Careras).

Forget-me-not DKS (Diamant de Semilly x Cumano) is also out of Kumana DKS, which makes her a half-sister of Ekano DKS Semilly, while Ombre de Quidam DKS (Quidam de Revel x Cento) is Kumana’s DKS half-sister!

And finally, the dam of Gilly Express DKS is Lilly Express DKS, who is also by Centina!

Ekano and Ombre had two starts each in 6yo qualifiers and were all clear, 4yo Gilly had her first career start and went clear, while Forget-me-not jumped well in her 5yo qualifiers, but made one or two "green" mistakes.

A great week for DKSporthorses, we are happy and proud! Congratulations to the owners of Ekano and Forget-me-not and to all the riders/trainers!
