ASTRA
1994 Trakehner mare
Grey, 16.1 hands
Sired by Amethyst
out of Anemone by Rombus
This mare came from Tim Holekamp's (owner of Windfall *Pg*) breeding program. When Astra was born, his 11 year old daughter claimed her on the spot and he and his wife turned the filly entirely over to her to own and raise. She ground broke her and saddle broke her with ease and almost without any help trained her to novice eventing.
Astra evented successfully to Preliminary, earning several year-end awards:
- 2000 AHSA Area 4 Combined Training Horse of the Year Training Champion
- 2000 ATA Horse of the Year Training CT - Reserve Champion
- 2001 Columbia DCTA Year-End Awards Training, Jr. - Reserve Champion
The Holekamps were told that she had advanced level ability, but a pasture injury ended her eventing career.
Astra has produced calm and gentle foals, including Asterion 
and Aleta by Windfall *Pg* and a 2006 colt by Baron Verdi. They are easy to start and ride, very human-oriented and forgiving. She should be a great amateur producer for us.
Astra delivered Arial Angel, a grey filly by Windfall , on May 2. She will be bred back to Windfall in 2008..
