Who owns Dutch Warmblood?

Dressage
#21

[quote=D![](anna;3744478]
I have a 6YO that as a 4/5 YO we legged up in anticipation of a dressage career … due to his size, we decided to go really (really) slow. He is by Alla’Czar and I am not certain of his dam.

When we were ready to go to work (after he was good and fit - which took almost 9 months of undersaddle work to accomplish) he severed an artery in his hind leg and we lost a year … so, we are starting back, he is totally let down, but hopefully will come back fitness wise faster than before … he is 18.1 (possibly 18.2 now)…

This is him when he started to get legged up (in Ocala) Sept 2007:

Hopefully I’ll have some new ones as he progresses back to work.

Love the last photo!

I have one KWPN Gelding, 18yo, by Democraat that I got for a rehab project (broken elbow)…used to do upper (3rd level) Dressage, and Jumping. Now is my very smart and sound-for-pleasure-beastie. I really appreciate his experience and he is super cute and in-your-pocket.

#23

Check www.allbreedpedigree.com. There is one KWPN named Nautilus listed.

#24

Ok…I promise this is my last one. She is half dutch.

This is my 7 month old filly by Olivier out of my ISH mare. Here she is pictured at 3 months.

I have a 7 year old by Chellano whose registered name is Charmeur Z, but we call him “Lyle Lovett”, and an 8 year old by Obelisk whose real name is Temeraire, and we call him “True Companion” Had a third one that a dressage lady bought, who was by Nairobi. They are all beautiful, kind and talented horses that have been joy to own. There are some pictures on my website www.dreamfieldstables.com

I have a fourteen year old Dutch Warmblood gelding. His sire is Concorde and his dam is Helma. He was born in Maasbree, Netherlands and imported here quite awhile ago. I LOVE him! He was trained to third level, so I am a work in progress in his eyes. :lol: He can definitely be spooky and a little “up” at shows, but he has the ground manners of a saint. My three year old daughter can feed him treats and brush him. He’ll take her around the ring leadline like he was carrying a sack of eggs about to fall off his back. Little tiny steps and VERY slowly. He’s just such a sweetheart and I hope to become a better rider for him!!!

#29

Sometimes, before I event, I need Dutch Courage.

Does that count?

2½yo chestnut filly by Mooiman (Flemmingh/Roemer) out of my PSG/Inter I level mare.

Long way to go before we get out to play under saddle. She’s a complete poppet and moves like a dream.

#31

I do.

I have a 16 yr old KWPN mare by Casanova. She herself is trained to about 4th level, I am riding second & third on her and showed first level last year. She is an excellent teacher and frankly, the best horse I have ever owned and likely ever will. She has wonderful gaits (usually 8 or 9s) and wants to please. She is chestnut with lots of chrome! Gorgeous mare!

I am actually hoping to breed her this spring via ET, possibly to Gribaldi.

She has two offspring, one if which is by Ferro and is owned by a local BNT who is doing wonderfully with him.

Fun thread to read!

#32

The sire is Havidoff.

I love my horse. It is going to be in the 40’s today so I am going to love my ride!

#33

For riding horses, I have three Dutch horses. But my daughter does the riding, not me. Rather than pics, I have video.

Lucky Star (Equador x RoncoXX), 1993 gelding - Equador is the sire of Idocus. My daughter and Lucky Star were team Silver Medallists at the 2004 NAYRC, and place in the top ten individually. From there, she trained him and has been competing Grand Prix level, scoring into the mid-60’s. He is a piaffe/passage machine and very sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWpcQrKhay0&feature=channel_page

Tango (Idocus x Wanroij) - 2000 gelding - training 4th level, ready to show 3rd level. Tango spent some of his early career jumping, where he placed well in very large classes. He will start showing dressage in 2009. Shown here with an amateur rider: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54UUp0eSupQ&feature=channel_page

Zenda (Ferro x Wanroij) - 2004 mare - training 1st level. Just a great mind on this mare. She just keeps getting better and better after going through the “uglies” as a 2 and 3 year-old. She has already impressed a top clinician. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As3iHbPUeLw&feature=channel

I have others, but not yet or , in the case of broodmares, currently under saddle.

#34

You are the best mother in the whole wide world to give your daughter a horse like that. it is a WONDERFUL horse. What a mind! Just wonderful to watch!

#35

I have a 1987 KWPN - Fabian (Ulft/Doruto)

Pics are on www.settlementfarm.net (and some of the
Blue Seal Bags)

I bought him at 10 as a 3rd level equivalent in Holland and
finished him earning my silver and gold. Lots of prizes and
many great memories. He is still 100% sound, but not in work
due to my health and the fact he is a loon at times (that’s the
Doruto side coming out)

Heh, heh, Dot, …Doruto is the only reason that he became a GP horse.

Thanks slc2. I have to admit I have spoiled our daughter, Alex, with the horses in part because I would have given my right arm just for the opportunity to ride a horse when I was a kid. From a very early age, it was evident that Alex was also smitten with horses. I now enjoy the breeding part and do my riding vicariously through her. I have sat through more lessons and clinics than I could possibly count.

To her credit, my daughter has worked hard to get where she is in riding, starting the first years riding all kinds of school horses, then a grade mare (Trak/th) who was no pushover and with limited talent for dressage, before she finally got Lucky while a working student in Belgium. You are right about his mind. He is a saint. Every so often Alex lets a rider on Lucky Star so he can school them the feel of tempi changes, etc. Every rider comes off saying they always thought she was a good rider, but now have much more appreciation of how good she is. Lucky makes you ride every step - no chance to sit back and enjoy the moment. Alex also had a judge at a CDI comment on how nice it was for her to have such a good schoolmaster. She was mounted at the time, otherwise she would have replied what a compliment that was, considering she was the one who made him into the schoolmaster that he is.

The amazing thing is that I see that same temperament in my young mare Zenda. As Alex said, she doesn’t ride like a typical young horse with the foolishness so often present in a 4 year-old. Coming from my daughter, who doesn’t mince words, that was a real compliment that I savoured.

The term the KWPN is using in English now to describe the KWPN horses, which includes the Riding Horse, Harness Horse and Gelderlander, is the Royal Dutch Sport Horse :slight_smile: http://www.kwpn.nl/stream/promo_uk.php

And just a reminder about the USEF Horse of the Year Nominees:
Adams Fire is out of a KWPN Royal Dutch Sport Horse (Harness book) mare
Jamaica is a KWPN Royal Dutch Sport Horse (Harness book)
Tiziano is a KWPN Royal Dutch Sport Horse

Is it incorrect to use it if that is what is on his registration papers? Just checking, since I stick my foot in it enough…:cool: “it” being my mouth.

imajicadutch:

Ulft was pretty talented too! I think the Ulft/Doruto combo brings
new meaning to the phrase: mad genius. When he is good he is very
very good, but when he is bad he is a terror. I can attest to that -
at 20, he gave me a grade 3 concussion that I am still dizzy from,
and he regularly escapes from the staff on the way to/from turnout,
but as he gallops away he is still breathtaking to watch!
I truly have never met a horse that so enjoyed his own movement.
