Ferro's dam, Brenda, is a daughter of the Holsteiner, Farn, who is listed sixth on the jumping index with 146 points. Farn's son Nimmerdor, is listed second on the jumping index with 155 points.
In 2000, Olympic Ferro sired the champion of the three year old stallions at the KWPN stallion selections in Den Bosch. The following year in Den Bosch, Ferro produced nine young stallions selected for the second round, two finished in the top ten, one of which achieved the highest price at the select sale and the other was reserve champion at the stallion show. The champion three year old mare at Ermelo in 2000 was an Olympic Ferro daughter. In 1998 Ferro was crowned KWPN Horse of the Year, he achieved the title of Keur in 2000 and was awarded the highly coveted ‘Preferent’ in 2003 at the age of 16. Ferro currently has eleven approved stallions with the KWPN and many other approved stallions outside the Netherlands.
In addition to their dressage excellence, Olympic Ferro's offspring also make exceptional jumpers. During his competitive career Olympic Ferro, was consistently in the #1 spot on the BCM World Stallion Rankings for dressage. Ferro is affectionately known as the “Black Pearl” of the Netherlands, 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. There is little question that Olympic Ferro will continue leaving his mark in the history of the KWPN long after his untimely death in 2005.
Mare Line
Rumpole’s Dam Justanotherdottie “Dottie”, a jockey club registered TB, was approved by the KWPN for breeding and has produced many successful sport horses in both the dressage and jumper rings. Dottie stood at the prestigious Iron Spring Farm in PA for many years and was part of the Iron Spring Farm world famous breeding program until she was sold and imported to Canada. Whilst in Canada, she was bred to Olympic Ferro and Prima Equestrian purchased the result of this combination, Rumpole, in-utero. Dottie only had one foal in Canada as just shortly after the birth of Rumpole she was sold back to the USA where she remains today producing fantastic sport horses. Dottie brings to Rumpole’s pedigree proven TB blood which is much sought after and desired in today’s modern KWPN horse.
