Volatis Casiphia

2007 Chestnut Trakehner filly by Tycoon x Fleetwater Caprice to mature approximately 16.0hh+
Casi was born on 21st June. Her name means 'money' in Hebrew, a link to her sire's name. We had chosen this particular sire/dam combination carefully, hoping for a pure bred filly of exceptional quality, and we had all our hopes realised with her arrival. Casi is typey and elegant, with an excellent topline. Not only is she a superb stamp of a modern sporthorse, but her pedigree is exceptional from a breeding point of view, being a daughter of a leading broodmare sire and from one of the strongest dam lines in the Trakehner breed.
Casi will be offered for sale. Please contact Sacha on 01476 550356 or email us at volatisstud@yahoo.co.uk for more information.

Casi is a daughter of the extravagent moving stallion Tycoon, a superbly bred son of the international jumping sire Donaumonarch. Tycoon is a fabulous moving stallion, with immense power. His daughters have been particularly successful, including the rising young eventing star Amazing Grace TSF, the 2002 Champion Trakehner mare Lantana and the dams of the Champion stallions C'est Bon and Le Rouge. His record as a broodmare sire is what attracted us to him initially.
Her dam is the graded Trakehner mare Fleetwater Caprice, a daughter of another of our broodmares Cover Girl. This is a mare with exemplary breeding, her dam is a half sister to the top German stallion Connery, from the female line of Cornau. Cornau (Cover Girl's granddam) produced the elite stallion Consul, the Grand Prix mare Corna, who herself produced the stallion Checkpoint. Caprice's sire is the eventer stallion Achtermann who was graded in Germany by the Trakehner verband as a 3yo, before being imported and graded with the SHB and BWBS. From a small number of foals he produced the graded stallion Fleetwater Swift and a number of good young eventers.
Caprice's 2006 filly is retained by the stud and was Reserve Champion part Bred Trakehner at the 2006 breed show. She 2005 daughter was a first premium winner at the BEf Futurity.
