We are very proud to offer this top quality ‘Ster’ stallion with extremely long legs, a beautiful swan-like neck and more importantly a powerful back end. His face is chiselled and very striking. He is curious, affectionate, and strong and has a willingness to work. The thing we love the best about Willem is he has an incredible powerful movement and such a gentle nature.
Willem literally floats above the ground with a lightness that is truly amazing! His long legs produce a stride with fantastic natural suspension and his extremely active hind quarters gives him enormous natural propulsion. Dressage riders take note: “ This is a Friesian stallion to get EXCITED about! ”
This is a tall modern stallion that has movement, conformation and the mind to excel to impressive levels in the dressage arena!
Willem has beautiful uphill conformation and he already is demonstrating big movement! His Dam’s sire is Jasper 366, who is at Grand Prix level dressage in Europe, shown by Peter Spahn. Jasper is an approved stallion that not only is known for his impressive trot but also passes on the long hair gene.
