Since then he has very successfully completed the KWPN performance test and is now also KWPN approved. He received two nines for suppleness and balance. Ferguson has a fantastic build and his attitude is superb.
His sire Floriscount (Florencio x Donnerhall) was born in 2005 and is currently already performing at Small Tour-level. Ferguson’s beautiful color gives away the fact that his pedigree is strengthened Donnerhall blood. He is a wonderful dark chestnut. The direct damline that is strengthened with Lauries Crusador has produced several S-dressage horses.
The KWPN report states that Ferguson can broaden the blood spread in the breeding of dressage horses. He can also contribute movement technique and correct use of the body to dressage horse breeding. Ferguson is on the brink of a splendid sports career. His canter is characterized by its long stride and scope. With his powerful quarters and beautiful front leg action he ensures that all eyes are focused on him.
Dam Faye
Faye is a spectacular mare who has inherited her sire Apache’s amazing elasticity. She is an extravagant mover with powerful ground covering movement and an exceptional canter. Combined with her kind sweet nature and movie star looks she captures your eye wherever she is.
Apache represents the best of modern KWPN breeding. He started his career by becoming the Reserve Champion of the KWPN Stallion Show and has gone to win at almost every level of the stallion competitions. He debuted at Grand Prix as a nine year old, recently scoring 78.73% in the VHO Trophy Grand Prix Kur! His success as a sport horse was almost guaranteed by his pedigree, which contains eight Grand Prix horses in the first five generations. His sire, UB-40, himself third place in the Championship Ring of the KWPN Stallion Show, has proven to be such a good producer of keuring and sport horses that his offspring are highly sought after by Dutch breeders, and stallion holders in Holland have made repeated advances to bring UB-40 back to Holland. UB-40 is by the Grand Prix and keur stallion, Olivi, who is by none other than the world famous dressage competitor and producer, Jazz, and out of the very famous Utopia mare line. Olivi’s dam is the elite, preferent, and prestatie mare, Halla Utopia, who is by the popular, grey Grand Prix stallion Aktion. UB-40’s dam is the keur, preferent, prestatie, sport mare, Kilucienne, a daughter of the influential Trakehner stallion, Michelangelo, and out of a keur, preferent, prestatie daughter of the KWPN foundation sire, Farn.
Apache’s dam is the elite, preferent mare, Tolanda. She is a daughter of the flamboyant Grand Prix competitor, Krack C, and out of a ster, preferent daughter of the long-time FEI competitor, Inspekteur. This mare line has produced multiple top sport and breeding horses. As a sire, Apache received one of the best foal reports of his year and has produced multiple foal champions. In 2016, he sired the most sons selected for the KWPN Stallion Show and had four sons make the final cut to go on to the performance test, including a son selected for the Championship Ring. Judges consistently award Apache a 10 for his trot and use of his hind leg and he consistently passes on this electric movement to his offspring. Apache is clearly an up and coming Grand Prix super star and a sire of importance.
Florestan sports a sire line of world importance, that of Furioso II. Florestan has produced over 50 stallion sons and over 40 State Premium mares. Florestan is recognized within the breed as a sire who can be relied upon for superior heritability. He produces outstanding basic paces, a beautiful head and lovely temperament. Florestan I has a superb dressage breeding index of 166. He was the Champion of the 1988 Rhineland approval. His dam, Raute, is a proven show mare in the Rhineland area.
