Negro

Biography

Sire, Ferro, is a proven top stallion. For many years he was the mainstay of the Dutch dressage team and sire of many Grand Prix dressage horses. Negro’s mother is out of a top dam-line that, via the international stallions Variant and Gondelier (keur) and the predicate-rich mares Fewrie (keur IBOP AA 92) Mewrie (keur pref prest sport) and Geerie (ster pref prest.), vouches for sport, build, power, desire to work and quality. Negro scores extremely high with a high reliability on the index (150 – 95%). Almost half of his offspring are registered as sport horses and the first of them are already competing at the highest international level. Showpiece is of course the ‘golden’ horse Valegro under Charlotte Dujardin, perhaps the best Grand Prix ever. There are also Exquis Spargo, Taikoen, Slegro, Numberto, Nintendo, Netto, Tigro, Taison, Validus, Vainqueur, Tigro, Tegro, Unico G, Vorst, Amazing, Alfranco, Zoë, Bufranco, Bailey, Willem-Alexander , Elegance etc. Negro-offspring are (inter)nationally very sought after. Negro’s progeny is valued for his cooperative character, willingness to learn, desire to work, balance and of course Negro’s top trademark: the superb hind leg action and the great ability to switch and collect. Negro’s progeny are making furore everywhere, with champions, approved stallions and high-profile daughters in USA, England, Scandinavia etc. Inimitably, the powerful and positive influence of Negro’s genetics, is also becoming increasingly more significant and more strongly valued as “maternal sire”.
