Sire For Friendship VDL is a young stallion being brought along slowly & produced for the top of sport. He shows top scope & reflexes as well as a super canter. He has recently moved up to 1.40m and clearly has the scope, talent & rideability to continue to move up the levels. Newly paired with Brazilian star Marlon Modolo Zanotelli as of February 2024, For Friendship has taken numerous top placings at Sentower Park & Oliva. Imported dam Darvinia earned an exceptional 52 bonits & was named Statespremie in Holstein after passing her MPT as a 3 y/o, & was just awarded Ster with KWPN at age 12. She is a daughter of CATOKI, who is currently highlighted as the sire of Belgian Champion phenom ERMITAGE KALONE, & comes from the solid Holsteiner stamm 223b, best known for bringing the stallion Colman. A career broodmare, this will be her 7th foal -- she is a prime example of the Holsteiner adage, "breed the best, ride the rest." This 13 y/o mare's oldest offspring, bred by Wild Turkey Farm, has just stepped up to the 1.45s this winter & has been getting his feet wet in the Futures Prix classes in Ocala. Her other offspring have sold into both pro & amateur hands & are very exciting for the future. Darvinia's 2022 colt by Olympic medalist Quel Homme de Hus is being kept intact by his owner, who acquired him to be produced by one of the best young jumper programs in USA. This colt was also the #6 jumper foal in the nation for KWPN-NA during a very competitive keuring tour. Darvinia has the best brain you could ask for & a fantastic work ethic -- I could spend all day talking about what a treasure she is. If this foal was not sexed as a colt, there is no chance it would be available.

This foal should mature 16.1-16.3h & be of medium type & blood. Will be bay or chestnut. Expected late May/early June 2024. 10% deposit to reserve, live foal guarantee, flexible terms available which include registration with KWPN-NA & board through weaning. Considerations to a top show home. Price subject to increase. Will be raised in a very small program & allowed to "be a horse" in a safe environment. Located in Northwest Oregon, 45 min south of Portland International Airport.
