My Lady Progeny

Janne acquired the dam, My Lady, in Denmark in 2011.

My Lady went on to compete for Denmark at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Caen (FRA), the 2015 European Dressage Championships in Aachen (GER), and at the 2014 and 2015 World Cup Finals in Lyon (FRA) and Las Vegas (USA). She was short listed for the 2016 Olympic Games and retired from competition sport in 2017.

My Lady enjoyed a blessed retirement to the field as a broodmare until her passing in 2019. She produced a colt, My Valentino (by Vitalis) and filly My Fair Lady (by Franklin).

"This is double pleasure for me. I will get to see Ariana train My Fair Lady here at my farm and enjoy this road together," said Janne. "I really believe in Ariana who trained Fiderflame herself from youngster to Grand Prix and is now in consideration for Canadian team selection for the 2022 World Championships in Herning. She also saddle broke My Valentino and did it a beautiful job, giving him a lot of confidence in the work."
