Olympic
Ferro Not Competing in 2002/2003 World Cup Series
 Holland's
favorite KWPN breeding stallion, Olympic Ferro, will
not be participating in the World Cup Series 2002/2003.
Owners Lamers and Van der Goor decided to give Ferro's
breeding career priority. This forces Van Baalen to
cancel her entry for the first World Cup qualifier in
Dusseldorf. "Ferro is in quarantaine right now,"
Adriaan van der Goor explained. "When we freeze
semen for export out of Europe he has to be in quarantaine
for at least four weeks, so we can't show him anyway."
Ferro's
owners, however, are leaving the option open for Ferro
to compete in the last qualifiers of the World Cup series
if they were to find a way of combining his breeding
with the sport. "The stallion is fit," van
der Goor claimed and the Dutch press still believes
in Ferro's qualities for the upcoming show season, despite
his fiasco performance at the World Equestrian Games
in Jerez.
