      Two beautiful grey mares, both daughters of U.S. National Champion Mare and U.S. Top Ten English Pleasure,  *Elkana (Aquinor x Estebna), have been outstanding producers for Strawberry Banks. Elegant Crystal, by *Aladdinn, is the dam of Ericca, the unanimous 1994 U.S. National English Pleasure Champion, Junior Horse, unanimous 1995 U.S. National Champion Mare. Ericca is a very feminine, expressive and charismatic mare. She is a very willowy 15.3. Ericca has produced exceptional foals by Hey Hallelujah and A Temptation.
