Optima’s record is impressive and bound to become more so as her younger offspring ascend the grades: Capital Carlton (SJ 1.40m), Capital Indiana (SJ 1m) and Capital Ignacio (SJ 80cm). Her Ramiro Z influence through Optimum v/d Wellington provides proven jumping genetics with a reliable, correct stamp that she passes on with notable regularity. In foal to Harton (Heartbreaker x Diamant de Semilly x Darco), this cross adds European scope, blood and class to a South African dam line that has already proved its worth at 1.40m level.
