Pedigree information:
Sonnenberg’s Jersey is a KWPN approved stallion who brings incredible character & train-ability, a model type with powerful, expressive and supple movement. He is currently being developed for the Grand Prix with Sabine Schut-Kery. According to Sabine: “this stallion has work ethic, heart and “try” in spades. He will truly be an exciting Big Tour horse in years to come. His piaffe and passage will be one of the highlights when he competes in the Big Tour.”
Jersey successfully passed his KWPN Stallion Test as a three-year-old and was fully approved for breeding. He was also the price highlight at the KWPN Stallion Show Select Sale!
In Jersey’s pedigree, two legendary KWPN preferent sires are combined: Vivaldi and Ferro. His sire Vivaldi was Reserve Champion of his Performance Test and winner of the KWPN finals with a “10” trot score. Vivaldi showed internationally successfully with Hans Peter Minderhoud and produced over 35 licensed sons as well as many internationally successful dressage offspring.
He also has numerous mare show winners, Grand Prix horses, World Cup placed offspring and several sons in the top 3 at their respective registry licensing. Vivaldi shattered all existing sales records by selling a 2yr old, licensed son, Vivino, at the 2019 Hanoverian Stallion Auction for 2.01 million Euros.
Jersey’s Dam Kebalia is a top predicated KWPN mare (Keur, Preferent and Prestatie) from the successful and prolific Dutch “Balia Stam” mare line 34. She produced 5 offspring performing dressage at the highest national levels in the Netherlands, at Grand Prix dressage internationally as well as 5 top level jumpers.
Kebalia is by the legendary KWPN Preferent stallion Olympic Ferro, team silver, European and World cup finalist with Coby Van Baalen. Ferro always brings formidable power and mechanics in the hind of his offspring. Kebalia’s lineage further back adds a dash of Thoroughbred blood, athleticism, versatility and top performing genetics to the mix. Sonnenberg’s Jersey was her last and youngest offspring.
