In Foal To Jeroen 535

This is an amazing once in a lifetime REASONABLY priced 16.0 hand 4 yr old mare.

Marcella is sired by Menne SPORT AA, and out of a ster mare by Dries SPORT, and confirmed in foal to one of the MOST TALENTED dressage sporthorses competing FEI level, JEROEN 535. Marcella has an IMPECCABLE pedigree with a motherline to die for: STER-STER+Pref-STER-STER.

She is such a very nice mare to work with!!! Super sweet and really intelligent!!! I REALLY LOVE Marcella because she is such a DELIGHT to handle, a REAL pleasure to be around!

She is forward going by herself and she is has to be one of the smartest friesians I have ever met, and really sweet!!! Marcella is the type of refined HIGH QUALITY, with temperament and pedigree and movement to match, if I were in the market, she would be a mare that I would want to keep for myself!!

And that's not all.....she is confirmed in foal to the one and ONLY Jeroen 535!!! Jeroen 535 is approved based on his exceptional international sport performances, Grand Prix FEI international scores of 70%. This is a good indication for the workability, commitment and health of the stallion.

Jeroen 535 is a friendly stallion in the stable and in daily contact. He shows durability in his legs and has an interesting bloodline. He can contribute to the breeding of the Friesian Horse due to his relatively low kinship of 16.9% and his sublime sports performances. 

Sports Elite blood

Father Anders 451 and Grandfather Adel 357 have successfully competed at FEI Grand Prix. Anders 451 was the first Friesian horse to be selected for the World Dressage Championships. 
They are forerunners of their time. Anders 451 competed at Grand Prix level from the age of 8 to 18; that is durability and health at its best. In addition, he currently has 10 offspring that compete higher than Prix St. George and that on a relatively small group of children born to him. Due to these registered KNHS results, Anders 451 currently holds the highest position on the KFPS sports index. 

Not only does Jeroen 535 have 3 very functional basic gaits that make it possible to perform all components of the highest dressage level. He has a gallop technique of good quality and functionality. He masters all the required components and especially in the pirouettes and series he shows a good technique. Striking is the ease with which the stallion shows Piaffe and Passage and the transitions between them.

Top athlete

And last but not least, Jeroen 535 possesses an unprecedented stamina. Already at the age of 3 he excelled in stamina and perseverance compared to his peers who were also just saddle-broken. With a high peak Jeroen was at a distance number 1 in the results graph. Through lactate measurements in the blood it could already be scientifically proven that he would become a top athlete "pur sang". Most likely this is the key to the success of Anders 451 and Adel 357. 

Marcella is an excellent investment with huge rewards---she will give you a foal next spring worth more than 1/2 her purchase price. Whether you are looking for a SUPER refined, fantastic moving, fully pedigree mare that is the nicest mare to ride and work with  that you might ever lay your hands on, OR if you are just starting a top notch breeding program, Marcella is a fantastic buy!

Marcella is $32,900 delivered to JFK. Chaicago and LAX are $3100 more.
