Galadriel DD (left), her sire Remate (center) and her dam Nobleza D (right).

Everyone who meets Galadriel instantly loves her! Galadriel DD was born in 2006 in Denton, Texas. She was Nobleza's 4th foal and the first offspring of Nobleza kept as a breeding stock mare for Spanish Vision Farm. Galadriel is elegant, correct, and easy-going with a beautiful straight profile, large friendly eyes, small ears, and long legs. She is very "pretty" and correct with long floating strides, a rounded canter, and a perfect walk. As a breeding mare, Galadriel is everything I could have hoped for. She complements her dam very well and continues the Spanish heritage of her father Remate.

Galadriel is extremely intelligent and, although a little smaller than her "big sister" Galaxia, Galadriel is the stronger personality.

Galadriel's Name

Galadriel was named after the J.R.R. Tolkein character in Lord of the Rings. Galadriel was a royal Elf and was known as Lady of Lorien, Lady of Light, and Lady of the Woods. Galadriel is described as "blessed with the ability to peer into the minds of others and she judged them so fairly." She was often called the fairest of all Elves. Galadriel was originally named Artanis meaning Noble Woman. Thus, we named our mare Galadriel DD, a daughter of Nobleza, after the Noble Lady of Light.
