Ratina Kervec, dam of champions

Her first daughter, Babelle Kervec (Quaprice), CSI2* 1.45m, is already herself the dam of the excellent Etna Kervec (Qlassic Bois Margot) CSI 1.45m and Gazelle Kervec (Cornet Obolensky) CSI 1.45m.
Ratina Kervec’s second foal was a masterstroke: the powerful grey stallion Cuick Star Kervec (Quick Star), a formidable Grand Prix performer at CSI5* 1.60m with Shane Breen, amassing over €150,000 in earnings at the world’s finest shows: winner of the CSI3* 1.60m Grand Prix in Birmingham, 2nd in the CSIO5* 1.60m Nations Cup at Hickstead, 3rd in the World Cup Grand Prix in Helsinki, 3rd in the CSIO5* 1.60m Nations Cup Final in Abu Dhabi, …
Still by Quick Star, Ratina Kervec produced Geniale Star Kervec in 2016. She too is climbing steadily towards the very top level, already recording outstanding performances at 9 years old, including victory in the CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix in Doha and €50,000 in winnings.
