Keeping up with Coeur Dashian
By Dani Moritz
Although Coeur Dashian wasn’t specifcally named after the reality TV star Kim
Kardashian, she might as well have been. The jet black Oldenburg flly, born April 26 at
High Point Hanoverian in Maryland, knows she’s got it and is ready to faunt it.
Owner Larissa Barilar says she would ft right in with the famously loved (and hated)
Kardashian sisters. “If she was a person she would defnitely be high maintenance and in
the headlines, as she already is,” said Larissa.
Larissa says she is inquisitive and brave and notes that, “if she was a person, she wouldn’t
be very well liked because she would know everything about everybody.”
Coeur Dashian became the “Foal to Follow” at Dressage at Devon this year after Klaus
Schengber, Larissa’s business partner of High Point Hanoverians where the flly was
bred, was invited to an Olympic going away party for Steffen Peters. Klaus ran into Lori
Kaminski, who was looking for a foal to do a story on. And Coeur Dashian was a perfect ft.
Coeur Dashian also placed fourth out of 19 foals in the 2012 Dressage at Devon Filly
Class. Her father, Coeur d’Amour, won the Stallion Championship at the same show.
Apparently, fame is in her blood.
As of now, Larissa thinks Coeur Dashian’s future is wide open and Larissa and Klaus
will decide what disciplines she will most likely excel in when she comes of age.
For now, this little star is enjoying life as a flly -- soaking up the sun and loving the
attention.
