We're talking about one of the most promising dressage damlines of this moment.
Anouk’s mother Tessa by Jazz received the KWPN labels keur, prest, preferent. She is also mother to Grand Prix horse Zaragoza (by Rhodium) and two horses that competed in the Netherlands up to Z2 level: the gelding Bruce O (by Van the Man) and the Elite Sport Prok mare Eliana V.O.D. (by Oscar). Anouk’s grandmother Diana by Doruto is the founding mare of the Van Os breeding programme, of the KWPN licensed stallions Kjento, Mowgli V.O.D. and Lance V.O.D. and of the national KWPN champion of 3 year old dressage mares: Heliana V.O.D. Kjento is ridden by Charlotte Fry and the upcoming dressage star of Van Olst Horses. He was the most popular and frequently used KWPN dressage stallion of 2019 and became World Champion at the age of 6 in 2021! |

Rhodium - Rhodium’s sire is the world famous stallion Olympic Ferro who has proven himself not only in the dressage arena but also as a producer of dressage horses.
Rhodium passed his stallion performance test in 2001 and impressed the judges with his fantastic canter for which he received a score of 9. For his trot and dressage ability he scored an 8. Ridden by Hans Peter Minderhout he became reserve Champion of the Stallion competition in 2003 and 2004. In 2004 he was placed sixth in the final at the World Championships for 6 year old dressage horses in. In 2005 he won the KWPN/KNHS Stallion Competition Championship. In 2008 Diederik van Silfhout took over the ride on Rhodium and competed with him successfully in the Young Riders classes and the Small Tour, Prix St Georg and Inter I.

Jazz – does Jazz still need an introduction? No stallion has had so much influence in dressage breeding in the Netherlands as Jazz, according to KWPN. He was on top of the WBFSH-ranking for years. In the Netherlands, the preferent stallion has over 3.100 offspring.
He gave Grand Prix horse after Grand Prix Horse. From the KWPN registered offspring, 125 were started in the Netherlands and abroad at Grand Prix level, 195 of his offspring reached the Small Tour level. Thirteen of his direct offspring were licensed, from which Johnson is preferent, and Olivi, Wynton and Westpoint were named keur. 43 KWPN stallions carry the Jazz blood in the second generation. At the mare inspections two thirds of this daughters earned the conformation predicate. Jazz gave 99 preferent mares and 62 performance mares. Extra special is that these numbers are still growing, because 25 years after his approval, there is still being bred with Jazz and that proves that he was way ahead of his time. |

In April 2022, Anouk had a foal by For Romance I. We named him Sjaman de Quarebbe and registered him at KWPN. As we don't keep colts, stallions or geldings, we wanted to sell Sjaman to an ambitious and sportminded new home. Our dreams came true, as in October 2022, Sjaman moved to the stables of Belgian small tour rider Saskia Hambrouck.
