Charites is not just a mare; she is a cornerstone in KWPN breeding and dressage. Born in 1984, her sporting career was cut short by injury, but her legacy lives on across generations.

Charites is not just a mare; she is a foundational figure in KWPN breeding and classical dressage. Born in 1984, her career was interrupted due to injury, but her impact endures. With a breeding index of 208—the highest among KWPN mares with competing offspring—she is the dam of champions like Exquis Nadine, a European medalist with Hans Peter Minderhoud. Her progeny includes approved stallions and “preferent” mares, establishing her lineage as one of the most influential in the discipline. Charites represents not only exceptional motherhood but also top-tier equine genetics.
