Sires - Navarone

Only KWPN Approved son of 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist Jus de Pomme


Jus de Pomme is the only stallion who won two Golden Medals at the Olympic Games


Navarone, son of the legendary Jus de Pommes, also comes with the blood of other famous bloodlines, G. Ramiro Z, Alme, Abgar xx and Armstrong, the full brother to the Oldenburg approved stallion Rolando.  The dam Terma also produced the approved son of Aram, Faram.   Terma goes back to the grandsire of Rigoletto who is very famous in the Dutch breeding as a foundations sire.  Navarone's dams sire Armstrong received a 9 in free jumping and 9.5 for sheer perfections.  He was described as very talented in both dressage and showjumping at his approval.

Navarone produces athletes that are good for dressage or jumping.  Navarone's offspring have his correct conformation, gorgeous head, suppleness and powerful gaits along with a temperament and willingness to match.  This is an athletic beautiful stallion!  We enjoy having him at our farm as he is just a pleasure to be around.  He loves people.  His trainability is just so easy anyone could ride him.  With his athletic abilities and trainability, he is a winner!
