Submitted by Ine Zwaans: My broodmare Asterhof's Leontine (Tongerenhof's Peridoot x Valentino). She gave me so much pleasure and beautiful off spring, and she earned the predicates Kroon, Preferent, and Prestatiefokmerrie. She had the nicest temperament and was a good mother. She died too soon and I still miss her.
