Pion Passed Away
January 30, 2003
 Yesterday
evening, the white sire Pion, one of the foundation
stallion of the KWPN Dutch Warmblood Society, passed
away in his stall at Joop van Uytert's stallion station.
Bred by Mrs L. Geertzema, Pion was by Abgar xx out of
an Epigoon dam. He was 29 years old.
"Pion was the foundation stallion of our stallion
station," Joop van Uytert Junior said. "My
father gave up his contracter's business to devote himself
to the horse business and make a new living out of the
stallion Pion. I always thought that Pion would become
35 or so. He was so tough and in shape. Unfortunately,
he didn't make it."
Pion sired a large collection of licensed sons and
successful sport horses. His approved offspring was
Aktion, Argus and Democraat. He sired Grand Prix dressage
horses Aktion, Allure, Remember and Duphar and Prix
St Georges horses Picasso, Conquestador, Cosmos, I'm
A Star, Inovation and Pione. He also passed on good
show jumping qualities to international horses such
as Hermann's Paledo, Adora, Diamond Forever and Endeavour.
