VDL Harley (Heartbreaker - Carthago)

Approved: KWPN

Harley’s sire line has produced three international jump horses in a row. This line has already sired horses like; Toulon, Caya and Countess G. Harley’s dam, Larthago, won with M. van Asten at several 1.40 and 1.50 classes. Larthago is also mother of Cevin Z, who jumps in 1.50 classes and who is approved by the Studbook Zangersheide. A half sister of Harley’s dam has produced Caritano Z, who was the highest priced horse at the Fences auction and who is approved by studbook Zangersheide.

Harley is one of the better stallions of his year. He finished 7th in the Dutch Championship of the 4 year old horses and he is now performing very steady in the stallion competition where he receives excellent comments from the judges. In 2006, he was Champion of the approved NRPS stallions.

His first foals were champions; Miss Harley became Dutch Champion of the NRPS Studbook and Dellaya became Reserve Champion of the NRPS studbook. The foal inspectors of the KWPN studbook made a promising foal report.

Harley is an interesting stallion who comes out of a super performing dam.

Farrington (Wellington - Doruto - Selim)

Approved: KWPN 

Farrington descends from a sound, well bred family. He is one of the few approved stallions with the blood of Doruto in his veins. Doruto sired many top dressage horses such as: Olympic Barbria, Chevalier, Ideaal, and more.

His sire, Wellington, is also well known as a producer of great movement in his offspring and sired dressage horses like Bollvorms Ceylon and Luxaflex.

Due to a fracture in his leg, Farrington was not able to perform in the sport, which is a pity because of the great talent he possesses. During his Stallion Test he obtained an eight for his basic gaits.

His daughter, Perry, became Dutch Reserve Champion in the class for 3 year old mares and Theandra became Dutch Reserve Champion of the ‘Keur and Elite’ mares. Farrington’s offspring perform very well in the sport. His son Michigan was the 2005 winner of the Individual Gold Medal at the North American Young Rider Dressage Championships in the USA. Another famous horse who is competing at Grand Prix level is, Limited Edition.

Dressage Index: 127.

Farrington sires horses with a willing character and good basic gaits. These are requirements for top performances in dressage.
