This foal is due June 17 from a 16.3 hh STER mare imported from the Netherlands and sired by the late Olympic Ferro. Onilia is a stunning mover with lots of size and presence.

Her sire, Olympic Ferro, is a world famous dressage horse and Olympic silver medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. As a three-year-old he was champion of his performance test at Ermelo, where he achieved the outstanding results of 6.5--step, 8.5--trot and 8.5 gallop. He can be relied upon to produce beautiful, typy, talented offspring of the highest quality. Fantastic toplines and an elegant look characterize his get. In addition to their dressage excellence, Olympic Ferro's offspring also make good jumpers. Olympic Ferro is #1 on the BN World Stallion Rankings for dressage and is the top stallion and pride of the Netherlands, affectionately known as the "Black Pearl." In the 2002 Olympic’s Ferro once again had the highest scores on the Dutch Olympic team.
