Olympic Ferro is one of the best
dressage stallions in the world. Ferro produces
champion dressage horses year after year, and
is one of the top producers of national and international
sport horses.
Ferro is known as the 'Black Pearl' of The Netherlands,
and the KWPN are justifiably extremely proud of
this fabulous stallion. He can be relied upon
to produce beautiful, talented offspring of the
highest quality, with fantastic top-lines, elegance
and presence.
Ferro has competed and achieved at the highest
levels of dressage, winning team silver and individual
fifth at the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000.
Amongst his many other successes, Ferro was the
winner of the World Cup in Berlin and the Neumunster
World Cup final, and has won several Grand Prix
and Grand Prix Specials throughout his career.
Ferro is renowned for consistently achieving
high scores for piaffe and passage, and was awarded
the highly coveted 'preferent' predicate by the
KWPN at the age of 17.
In 2001 Ferro produced two stallions in the top
10 of the KWPN stallion show, one of which achieved
the highest price at the subsequent auction, the
other of which was reserve champion at the stallion
show.
Ferro currently has eleven approved stallions
with the KWPN, and many other approved stallions
outside the Netherlands. In Ermelo, at the Dutch
Championship of three year old mares, he had three
daughters in the top 10, as well as a mare out
of a Ferro-daughter (Jerondine) and a mare out
of a Ferro-son (Métall) in the top 10.
In Den Bosch stallion selections in 2001 the champion
stallion was a Ferro son.
From his first season Ferro has four of his
progeny competing at Grand Prix level, including
Jarwo, famed for winning several Grand Prix with
scores above 70%. Renowned Ferro sons include Métall, Negro,
Rousseau and Rhodium.
