Submitted by Lauren S. – Ellegria, Ehrentanz I-Patrizia/Philipo. The first Grand Prix horse I made myself, doing a heck of a lot wrong, but Ella’s best quality was her forgiveness – she let nearly all of my mistakes be fixed, and every horse who’s come after her has been better for all she taught me.
