Pedigree
Performance
At his Stallion Performance Test Negro was Reserve Champion overall, earning exceptional praise for his canter which scored an 8.5. Negro won his KWPN Stallion Show competitions and was the highest placed Dutch horse at the 2001 FEI Young Horse Championships. By age 7 he was winning at Prix St. Georges and showed remarkable talent for all the Grand Prix work. Olympic rider Anne Van Olst calls him ‘the best horse I ever rode’ and the impact of his influence as both a sire and damsire has built the foundation for the success of Van Olst Horses in breeding and international sport.
Offspring
Sire of Olympic, World Equestrian Games, and World Cup winner Valego and WBFSH 6 & 7-Year Old World Champion Kjento; as well as numerous FEI dressage horses, Negro repeatedly confirms his value as a sire of top dressage talent. Negro offspring have proven time and again they have the talent for the FEI work and are winning at the FEI levels with professionals, amateurs, and young riders. An exceptional canter, active hindleg, and talent for collection are consistent across his offspring. Due to the world-class quality of his offspring, Negro has been awarded Preferant status by the KWPN and was the 2017 KWPN Stallion of the Year.
