No.5 Championship Dressage Horses KWPN Stallion Show 2014

Very good KWPN Performance Test 2014

Googel is a stallion that moves with a lot of technique in his legs. He is very interestingly bred from a proven dam line that shows a lot of sport.

Pedigree:
Googel is a son of Bordeaux out of the elite mare Cadansvrouwe, a daughter of the GP stallion Johnson. Granddam Dansvrouw carries the elite, preferent, and performance predicate. This is a daughter of Kommandeur. Dansvrouw is mother of several sport horses: three third level dressage horses from Jazz (2x) and Trento B, a Z2-dressage horse from Candyboy, a Z1-dressage horse from Blanc Rivage xx, Elcaro, and Future. She also produced a 1.35 m jumping horse from Kennedy and two 1.30 m jumping horses from Casco and Lancet. Dansvrouw comes from the star, preferent, performance mare Landsvrouwe, a daughter of the preferent stallion Folio. Landsfolde is dam of the GP dressage horse Casanova (s.Kommandeur), an LT by Uniform, a third level dressage horse by Blanc Rivage xx, and a Z2 by Saluut. This strong performance line also produced the GP dressage horses Winston (s. Gribaldi) and Undercover (s. Ferro) ridden by Edward Gal.
