This is an excerpt from Majestic Gaits' Kathy Hickerson's e-mail updat:
Farrington, Navarone and Schroeder approved Belgian Warmblood (BWP)_
This was the first time we took the Dutch stallion Farrington (Wellington x Doruto) off the farm since he was imported 3 years ago. Phil Silva from
Ten Broeck farm trailered him for us and handled that day. Phil was thrilled at how easy Farrington was to trailer and handle. As many of you know, Farrington broke his hind leg in a tragic stall accident as a 5 year old and is the only KWPN stallion to received his Keur status on his offspring alone. He
produces top horses that easily go Grand Prix in Dressage. I think Phil knows why, now, and he was very surprised at his big movement and his front legs way out in front oh him during the trot. Even with his slight handicap behind, he moves uphill and with power. I always think about Farrington, had he not broke his leg as a youngster, he would have been an Olympic horse for sure, but I would not have had him at my farm. Farrington received his BWP approval with the highest score of the 3 stallions; an 83. The judges noted "still a good mover". He received for Topline, head, neck
and frame a 9, legs, shoulder and hindquarter 7.5, walk 8, trot 9.5, overall impression 9.5. Farrington is 21 years old this year and he looks the same as when he was young. Thanks to VDL Stud for giving us and everyone the opportunity to have him here for fresh cooled breedings. I think
everyone who has had one of his offspring/foals knows how special he is as a sire.
