Sammy’s dam AC-Soft Jewel af Engvang was also inspected with high marks into the Danish studbook as first class mare (9 9 8 9 9 9 8 9 8 9) and also had several show successes. She comes after her extraordinary good dam, the Elite-mare Øxenholm Sleepy Eyes, who was not only inspected with the highest marks ever given to a mare (10 9 9 10 8 9 9 9 9 10) and several show successes, but also has produced a string of very good offspring.
