Bora Bora FMB

Bora Bora FMB is a lovely, strong 2013 Oldenburg NA filly by Banderas (Balou du Rouet x Grannus x Beach Boy) out of our late Aliano / Sandsturm mare, Aliana Easter Gift FMB. Bora Bora was sadly orphaned with the loss of Aliana, but she thrived and blossomed into a beautiful, substantial filly with a great neck set and attractive movement.

Pedigree

Bora Bora’s sire, Banderas, is the first approved son of the sensational European stallion Balou du Rouet, to stand in North America. Banderas is a very typey athletic stallion, with a lovely expression, clearly stamped in looks by his sire. Banderas has three very good athletic gaits, and shows a huge amount of jumping potential, he jumps in classic form, and shows a lot of scope. He also has a very good temperament and good nature. Sire Balou du Rouet is highly sought after as a breeding stallion, he is very well known for producing type, elastic movers, and his oldest offspring are showing his prepotency for first class jumping ability.

Bora Bora’s dam sire is imported Holsteiner sire, Aliano. Aliano was in Grand Prix Dressage training and has competed successfully up to the Intermediare I level. He comes from the famous STAMM 318D2, which has a strong reputation in breeding and sport. It is the direct motherline of the stallions Corofino I and II, Diorado, Diarado among many others. In the fall of 2014, Aliano was presented to the AHHA after he had met his dressage performance requirements. He earned impressive scores and Judge Michael Gonell remarked that “Americans should be standing more stallions like Aliano that excel at both dressage and jumping.” Aliano’s versatility, talent, and temperament are consistently seen in his very typey offspring.
