Oliver VM is a 2019 16.3hh bay KWPN gelding with a full set of clean X-rays on file (feet, legs, neck and back), going nicely under saddle, with 3 good gaits, safe rideability and a high sport pedigree. Oliver is sired by Vitalis (Vivaldi x D-Day) out of Dutchess GF (Flemmingh x Rhodium). He has extremely comfortable smooth gaits, a soft mouth and is easy to ride and handle. He can be ridden without lunging first, hacks out alone or in company and is a calm full night turnout horse. He has no vices, baths, clips, ties, fly sprays, stands for hot shoeing and loads on a trailer. He was started under saddle this spring and hasn’t put a foot wrong in the last few months. He has a large overtracking walk, a flashy smooth to sit trot and an extremely smooth fluid canter. He has clean straight legs and good feet. Like many Vitalis he is a bit slower to mature but come 5-6 he will blossom into something special. His friendly kind calm demeanor cannot be trained into them. He is an ideal horse for an AdAm due to his brain or for a pro to develop.

Oliver’s sire Vitalis (Vivaldi x D-Day) is becoming one of the new hot leadings sires of upper level dressage horses. His offspring are known for extremely good rideability and temperaments in addition to their quality gaits and conformation. His offspring have already reached Grand Prix arenas and dominate all levels with all types of riders! The young Vitalis son Vamos Amigos posted a whopping 81,86% at the recent World Dressage Championships under Cathrine Dufour for Denmark. He joins many other top young Vitalis' that are making a big name for themselves in International compeition. The licensed stallion Va’Pensiero won the German and Hanoverian Championships of three-year-old stallions. Villeneuve, who is also a licensed stallion, qualified for the Nuremberg Burg Cup with Dorothee Schneider with a score of over 77 percent and finished eighth in the final after coming second in the preliminary class. Our stallion Valverde NRW secured his third title at the Westphalian Championships, came fourth at the German Championships and was selected for the World Championships for young dressage horses, which, however, could not take place due to the coronavirus pandemic. Vayron won the international Small Tour in Neumünster with Helen Langehanenberg with over 75 percent.. The licensed stallion Vaderland was bronze medalist at the Oldenburg Regional Championships, Violetta D was silver medalist at the Southern German Championships. The number of Vitalis' licensed sons now amounts to 46, with the stallions mentioned above, Valverde (Champion Stallion, triple Westphalian Champion, German Champion and fourth at the World Championships for young dressage horses), Villeneuve (Reserve Champion, Vice World Champion, third at the German Championships and eighth in the Burg Cup), and Vaderland (Westphalian Reserve Champion, Regional Championships bronze medalist), clearly standing out. Valencia AS/Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier was placed at the CHIO in Aachen. Van der Veen was also victorious in Small Tour with Carl Hedin/SWE. In 2016, Victoria's Secret became World Champion in Ermelo after winning the German Championships the year before. The Westphalian Champion Mare Vienna and the Rhineland Champion Mare Virginia K stand out amongst the 60 state premium mares. Vitalis’ foals often reach top prices: the colt Vardy was sold for 120,000 Euros at the Oldenburg Elite Auction. 

Oliver’s dam Duchess GF (Flemmingh x Rohodium) was bred by VDL Stud in the Netherlands and imported. She is sister to the Grand Prix dressage stallion Endretti G.
