Helix was sired by the well known and
respected Norwegian-import stallion Felix and out of the Dutch-imported
first-premium mare Cindy.
Helix is being raised at Bluebird Lane
as a stallion prospect.
Both Cindy and Felix have a long list
of accomplishments as quality producers, including each having
had two offspring
winning Gold Medals from the Netherlands Fjord Studbook!
Actually four of the six Gold Medals awarded at the Ontario Fjord Show went to horses
sired or produced by Felix or Cindy! What an accomplishment.
The colt
Helix brings these two
desirable lines together and we look forward to his
future with a lot of enthusiasm!
Helix's dam Cindy was the first broodmare at Bluebird
Lane and her contribution has been huge. Soon after we got Cindy, we were
pleased and surprised to be approached by total strangers at our first
Fjord show to be told that they greatly
admired Cindy for the quality of her offspring. Having now had the
opportunity ourselves to work with so many of Cindy's babies, we know what
they were talking about!
Cindy was imported from Holland,
a 1st premium daughter of Ostar and Louise (a model mare and
daughter of Alfred). Ostar is a sire of many outstanding mares, including
the elite mare Viola. Cindy is the only Ostar daughter presently living
in North America.
Cindy has many ster and model mares in both her maternal
and paternal background. Cindy's maternal grandmother, Gea, is a ster mare
whose father was the elite Danish stallion Ooigaard Damgaard. On her sire's side
is the excellent stallion Westman (sire of her paternal grandfather Einar).
Westman was responsible for some of the best foundation stock in Holland.
After producing her last foal at age 23, Cindy has now been retired
from breeding. She is still healthy, sound and in active use as a pleasure
driving and riding horse with our friends Bob and Denise Ward in Rockwood Ontario.
