Capital Evelyn is, as Dirk describes, “fast as lightning.” She is by Capital Enturo de Thetan, one of the stud’s own stallions, whose sire, Canturo, ranks among the top jumping sires in the world and is the sire of Good Luck, Cian O’Connor’s European team gold and individual bronze medallist at the 2017 Championships in Gothenburg. Enturo’s own dam line is rich in sport: his dam also produced the international 1.45m horse Relamm de Fetan, while his second dam produced Lamm de Fetan, a Nations Cup winner in Aachen with the French team and winner of the 5-star Grand Prix of Valencia.

Evelyn’s dam, Capital Oulana, adds further quality. She is by Fidjy of Colours, a son of the great Selle Français foundation sire Le Tot de Semilly, out of a mare by Nonstop, the top jumper and sire by the legendary Darco. It is a dam side that keeps the international quality flowing.

Under saddle, Evelyn is forward-going and responsive, a quick, sharp mare who benefits from a patient, confident rider able to channel her energy. She is an exciting prospect with genuine speed and quality for a rider who enjoys a sharp horse and likes to win a jump off.
