Feel Good's granddam Camora is a keur preferent daughter of Saluut. Camora's offspring include a Z2-level dressage horse by Cassis xx and a Z1-level dressage horse by Randel Z. Feel Good's great-granddam Tamora (s. Amor) boasts the keur, preferent, and prestatie predicates. Among her offspring are a ZZ-light horse by Saluut, a Small Tour horse by Gribaldi, and Z-level dressage horses by Cor de la Bryère, Rechter, Wisconsin, and Wellington. The dam-line continues with Olien, a keur preferent prestatie mare by Pericles xx out of the keur preferent prestatie mare Karin (s.Apollo).
