Story
Flip’s Little Sparrow herself was extremely successful at the highest level, both under the saddle of Peder Fredricson and the Swedish amazon Stephanie Holmén. She spectacularly won the World Cup in Zürich in 2018 and had numerous Nations Cup successes as part of the Swedish team.
Flip’s Little Sparrow is also exceptional at a genetic point of view. Her father is the top sire VDL Cardento, who won the silver team medal at the Olympics in Athens and at the World Championship in Jerez de la Frontera.
Her mother is none other than the legendary mare Butterfly Flip, who competed at the highest level with Malin Baryard-Johnsson and this on a weekly basis. The list with triumphs and places of honour is almost endless. Following her sports career, Butterfly Flip was made available for breeding and, in addition to Flip’s Little Sparrow, she is also the dam of the 1.50m jumper Flips Fairytale and the 1.45m jumpers Vigo’s Flip de Muze Z and Ninja Flip Z.
