This beautiful colt was born on Easter sunday, that's why we named him 'Passion'.
With international top dressage stallions like Jazz, May Sherif, Bordeaux and Ferro in his pedigree, Passion has all that it takes for a promising dressage horse.
His dam line originates from KWPN breeding family 1633.
With a dressage index of 165 (KWPN table 2013), granddam Vidora was in the top 200 of best KWPN dressage mares in her category. Passion's great great granddam Rolanda gave the small tour dressage horse Flying Dutchman (by Zevenster), and also the Grand Prix dressage horse Privaldi (by Gribaldi), which holds the 236th position on the WBFSH-list of dressage horses (2012). A full sister of Rolanda's dam Joliza gave the international GP show jumping mare Ferina (by Ramiro).
Passion's dam Latoya Dora is a halfsister to KWPN approved stallion Joyride EH.
Latoya Dora's dam's sire Jazz has sucessfully shown Grand Prix with two different riders, and more and more of his offspring reach the highest levels in international Grand Prix, like Parzival with Adelinde Cornelissen and many more. Jazz holds the first position on the WBFSH list of dressage stallions.
From Passion's dam side he also carries the world famous Doruto blood in the 5th generation.
Grand sire Ferdeaux is developing very well as a breeding stallion as well as a sportshorse. He was reserve champion of the Pavo-cup for 5 year olds, he won the stallion competition in Roosendaal and he was champion of the stallion competition finals (M class) in 's Hertogenbosch in 2016. He was praised for his strong hindleg and his impressive frontleg usage. During stallion approval he got a 9 of his trot and a 9 for his canter. He shows lots of talent for collected work (piaffe/passage).
In july 2017 Ferdeaux qualified for the World Championships of young dressage horses by winning the preselection finals of the 7 year olds. Ferdeaux already has 4 approved sons: licensing champion Las Vegas (KWPN ), Jarville (KWPN), Jerveaux (KWPN) and Matideaux (AES).
Ferdeaux's grandsire Olympic Ferro is one of KWPN's foundation stallions, having more than 10 licensed sons, of which Kennedy, Rousseau, Rhodium and Negro (sire of Valegro!) are the most famous.
Passion's great grandsire
Bordeaux won his licensing and his performance test in 2009 and was high placed in the PAVO cup final in 2010. In 2012, ridden by Eva Möller, he was 4th in the finals of the World Championships of 6 year old dressage horses in Verden. In the winter of 2012/2013 he qualified, as a result of his outstanding wins at the KWPN stallion competitions, for the finals of his age group in 's-Hertogenbosch. He was the favourite and won the competition with a clear margin. In 2014 he won international competitions up to Prix St George; in 2015 he achieved his first high placings in Grand Prix classes. With a FN breeding value of 166 points, he is part of the top group of dressage sires in Germany. Bordeaux is bred from one of the most successful damlines in the world: he combines the best of Holstein, Oldenburg, Westphalia and Trakhener genes, he is a direct descendent of Angelo XX's daughter Adone, whose son Rembrandt is a 4 times Olympic gold medal winner. Adone is also a full sister to Olympic gold medal winner Ahlerich, and Olympic silver medal winner Amon. Bordeaux is approved by KWPN, Oldenburg, Rheinland, Westfalen and Hannover. Bordeaux was decorated KEUR at the KWPN stallion show in 2020.

Passion's sire Deparon US's bloodlines combine a double Donnerhall in the sire's side with English thouroughbred on the dam side. During the Bundeschampionat final, Deparon US placed fourth. Deparon shows very strong power from his hind legs, which makes collected work easy for him. Deparon is approved in Oldenburg, Hannover and Mecklenburg.

Passion received the D-OC predicate with a DNA score of 101.
