Nadine

Nadine was bred by E. Te Beest from De Heurne, Netherland. She was imported to Canada by Olympic champion Éric Lamaze when she was showing in the young horses divisions, and showed in North America up to 1m40.  It is in 2005 that she began her partnership with Laurence. Together, they have competed up to 1m20 in amateur classes before Nadine was retired from sport to begin her new career as a broodmare.
