We believe Safari will be a very nice sport horse for upper level dressage. He has a very balanced conformation and movement, powerful and with lots of suppleness and suspension. The judges loved him at the KWPN-NA inspection as a foal. He has strong, straight and clean legs with very correct and strong feet. He is ready to start and knows all of the basics. We also have complete x-rays on file.

He is sired by our previous stallion Nox Van Heemstate who was imported in early 2021 from the great Heemstate stud farm in the Netherlands. He is currently the only son of the International Grand Prix Vivaldi son Expression available in North America. He has demonstrated an outstanding confident character that he has passed onto his offspring.

His dam is the Gelders Ster PROK mare Nervana CCE (UB40 x IJsselmeer). Nervana's dam Catalina was the full sister of the fabulous Gelders FEI Grand Prix dressage horse Deja Vu (with Stacee Collier). This mare line is bred by Deborah Harrison of Lio Lomas Dutch Warmbloods, one of the most well known and successful Dutch Warmblood breeders in North America. She bred 16 FEI Grand Prix horses!

He sticks 16hh as of April 2025.
Included are pictures and videos of Safari, his sire and dam.
