Ferro
Olympic Ferro is one of the best dressage stallions in the world. Ferro produces champion dressage horses year after year, and is one of the top producers of national and international sport horses.
Ferro is known as the `Black Pearl` of The Netherlands, and the KWPN are justifiably extremely proud of this fabulous stallion. He can be relied upon to produce beautiful, talented offspring of the highest quality, with fantastic top-lines, elegance and presence.
Ferro has competed and achieved at the highest levels of dressage, winning team silver and individual fifth at the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000. Amongst his many other successes, Ferro was the winner of the World Cup in Berlin and the Neumunster World Cup final, and has won several Grand Prix and Grand Prix Specials throughout his career. Ferro is renowned for consistently achieving high scores for piaffe and passage, and was awarded the highly coveted `preferent` predicate by the KWPN at the age of 17.
In 2001 Ferro produced two stallions in the top 10 of the KWPN stallion show, one of which achieved the highest price at the subsequent auction, the other of which was reserve champion at the stallion show.
Ferro currently has eleven approved stallions with the KWPN, and many other approved stallions outside the Netherlands. In Ermelo, at the Dutch Championship of three year old mares, he had three daughters in the top 10, as well as a mare out of a Ferro-daughter (Jerondine) and a mare out of a Ferro-son (Métall) in the top 10. In Den Bosch stallion selections in 2001 the champion stallion was a Ferro son.
From his first season Ferro has four of his progeny competing at Grand Prix level, including Jarwo, famed for winning several Grand Prix with scores above 70%. Renowned Ferro sons include Métall, Negro, Rousseau and Rhodium.
Venus - Venus is a daughter of the world-famous dressage stallion Ferro with which Coby van Baalen earned bronze at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Dam`s sire Grand Cru is a son of the valuable sire Grand Garçcon (Garibaldi II) out of Athene (Absatz) who is also known as dam of world cup winner Walk on Top (Wenzel I) under Louise Nathhorst. In the tird remove we find the influential Hanoverian progenitor Weltmeyer. Grandam Weltdame was, like the licensed stallion Edinburgh (Eiger I), bred out of Debatte (Derneburg x Busoni xx).
Vacharel (Ferro x Weltmeyer) - Vacharel is a daughter of the world-famous dressage horse supplier Ferro with which Coby van Baalen earned bronze at the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000. Dam Pacharel T is by the world-famous Hanoverian sire Weltmeyer out of a daughter of the early deceased dressage horse progenitor Rubinstein I. The dam`s line goes back to the famous Oldenburg Rikki lineage. The stallion Fürst (Furioso II) and the international dressage horses Macbeth (More Magic xx) and Bonnami (Bucephalos xx) are also from this family.
Unando (Ferro x Balzflug) - The black-brown colt Unando descends from the Olympic dressage stallion Ferro (Ulft) under Coby van Baalen. Via Balzflug and Blanc Rivage xx this line goes back to the mare Wafresia (Garant - Farn). Just like the famous national show jumper Big Man (Farn), Wafresia descends from the Faunus daughter Jafresa. Like 2-time Derby winner Mon Ami (Jasper), this line goes back to the famous Gelders Lady Reveil from Wittenstein tribe. More than 40 approved stallions come from this line, including Pretendent (Le Faquin xx), Epigoon (Amor) and Dream of Heidelberg (Donnerschlag).
