Ampere is the third in a row of Rousseau offspring to have won the Stallion Show, a feat never accomplished before. Rousseau seems to be a nonstop producer of quality foal and Dragon is no exception. He was awarded First Premium competing amongst a huge class of tremendous high quality foals at the Iron Spring Farm keuring this September. Being selected for the Championship he was tied fifth with the colt who went on to win the Champion Dressage foal at Devon.
The KWPN-NA has given Dragon a prize for being the best foal of the Keuring Tour resulting from the 2007 KWPN-NA Stallion Auction.
Dragon is a good mover with a nice conformation and an excellent attitude. The jury found him very expressive in his movement, long lined, light footed and commented on his good use of the hind legs. In the Championship class more comments were made on his good shoulder, long legs and rectangular body.
Dragon has such a lovely temperament. He is curious and self assured and just loves to be around people. As a yearling, he has kept his charisma that makes you want to be around him all the time. He is just so adorable.
