| Born 2003 Friesian stallion
Inbreeding coefficient: 2.54%.
Stam line: 32 9th generation
His sire, Remmelt, is a dressage champion and done very well in dressage and carriage. His dam Alpentraum has been shown to first level dressage, made 2nd premie ster, and has some daughters coming up to try for ster. Alpentraum is a 1/2 sister to Bold Contender (mare showing in grand prix). Ljibbe has the lineage and attitude to go far. He will make an awesome dressage stallion as well as being a Sauteur, uphill conformation, good feet, natural movement, and out in the field he already does passage and pirouette.
This boy is very sweet and personable. Ljibbe already has great extensions and a nice flowing action. He is very intelligent and seems to learn things very quickly. This young stallion already is performing liberty exercises with other stallions and geldings. Even at this early stage in Training he is having a good start at every kind of lateral movement, yeilding to pressure in almost all directions (will lay down shortly), beginner Piaffe and Passage in hand. This young Sauteur will be playing with the airs soon!
Judge at keuring in Michigan asked that he be brought back as a 2-3 year old to try for an approved stallion. He has a very good dam line: S (dam), sp,sp, m, mp. Both these lines are very good in carriage and dressage.
Ljibbe has been bred for Performance and now is being trained for it. His abilities will allow him to do high school movements in Kindergarten just playing around. He is a joy to be with.
At the rate he is progressing in his training demonstrating his keen natural ability in play he will go to Texas this fall for FPZV stallion testing and approval.
