Own record: Dirka was a Selle Français mare born in France on March 12, 1969, embodying the excellence associated with French equestrian breeding. Sired by Nankin and out of Ondine de Baugy, Dirka's pedigree is enriched with notable ancestors such as Constellation and Plein d'Espoirs. Her dam's line includes Thoroughbred influences via Harphortas XX, adding a unique dimension to her genetic heritage.
