Prestige VDL Sold to New Zealand
August 26, 2007
 The KWPN licensed stallion Prestige VDL has been sold
to New Zealand. The bay stallion by Silvano N x Goodtimes
has been sold to Lisa Blackbourn and will arrive down
under at the end of September, where he will stand
at stud immediately. Blackbourn will also focus on
the stallion's dressage career as she has planned to
compete him at FEI level.
"I will start competing
him at Prix St Georges level once we have formed
a partnership with the goal of starting him GP by the
end of 2008.
He is an incredibly talented horse, especially for the Grand Prix movements,
and his character is exceptional. He really wants to
work
for
you. I feel very honored to own such a fantastic horse,"
Blackbourn told Eurodressage.
Prestige VDL
is approved for the Dutch and Swedish warmblood society
and was formerly owned by VDL Stud and ridden by Edward
Gal. In 2004 he won the KWPN Stallion Competition and
then moved to Gal for FEI level training. The now 10-year
old stallion competed only a few times at Prix
St
Georges
level under Gal.
