SPS DONNA DE NIRA AT BRIDLEWOOD FARM
Bridlewood Farm would like to sincerely thank Jens Meyer, Hengststation Jens Meyer, Dorum, Germany for finding our third wonderful SPS mare for us. It took Jens several years to initially find SPS Mon Amour for us, three years later, he found our second States Premium mare, SPS Laureen. Several years later, in 2006, Jens contacted us about SPS Donna de Nira and thought she had the exemplary pedigree, performance and produce record we were looking for to import for our broodmare band in the US.

SPS Donna de Nira has exceeded all of our expectations. Not only does she carry the wonderful combination of De Niro and Caprimond as the full sister to top producing AHS Elite Stallion DeLaurentis, her dam Chippy is the full sister to the dam of dressage stallion Dacaprio, Carry. SPS Donna de Nira is a beautifully elegant mare with exquisite gaits and has an incredibly kind and generous temperament.
