It's Amor

11. February 2007

I have to admit that when we bought Amor last autumn I had not heard of his sire. But when Kay told me that Harm reckoned Rousseau would be the next big thing I knew better than to question it. A few google efforts later I had learned that Rousseau was a stunning young promising Ferro offspring.

So although my knowledge of Dutch bloodlines is not that great at least I know when to take a good advice. And the way things have turned out it looks like it was good advice indeed. Last year the champion of the KWPN stallion licensing was Wamberto, a big bay Rousseau/Voltaire. And this year it was Zagreb, another Rousseau (Jazz) that won. This little beauty was then sold at the KWPN Select Sale Auction for 430.000 euro! The funny thing is that the buyer was Blue Hors stud.

So although our little prospect is currently going through the ugly growing stages that most two year olds do, judging by the family connections he should turn out pretty decent. By next spring we should have a fair idea of what we have got on our hands, which is terribly exciting…

In the meantime I found Andreas’ ride on Matine from WEG on YouTube. Seeing it I am so upset I did not go to Aachen, I clearly should have taken Kay's advice on that as well...
You have got to give it to Andreas, he is bloody good! What can I say… just enjoy!
