Pedigree Details

Sire

Dark Pleasure was a successful Prix St. Georges and Intermediate I horse known for his good temperament and character. He’s also the sire of two Approved stallions. Dark Pleasure features major Grand Prix talent in his bloodlines, stemming from double Ferro, Preferent. Ferro, a beautiful black stallion, was Team Silver medalist at the 1998 World Equestrian Games, 1999 European Championships and the 2000 Olympics. Ferro was recognized for his athletic ability, a quality he passes on through the generations, including numerous Approved stallions, top-notch mares and Grand Prix offspring.

Dam

Kaiman’s mother is the Elite/Preferent mare Franciska. She earned the IBOP Dressage and D-OC predicates, indicating success in the riding test and passing the DNA test for OCD and/or good radiographs.

Franciska is a daughter of Grand Prix legend Gribaldi, Elite/Preferent. Gribaldi, another gorgeous black stallion, was champion of the 1995 Trakehner licensing before being imported to the Netherlands where he was champion of the KWPN Stallion Performance Test. He continued on as the Pavo Cup Reserve Champion as a four-year-old and through Grand Prix with Edward Gal.

Gribaldi is widely recognized for his impact on sporthorse breeding. His most famous son is the immortal Totilas. Gribaldi is also the sire of Painted Black, Peter Pan, BMC Pasternak, Game Boy, Rosenprinz D, 300 Star mares and many more exceptional horses.

Franciska is a granddaughter of Grand Prix standout Krack C, an important damsire. One example is the spectacular Apache (by UB40, Keur).

Franciska is a full sister of the small tour horse Eye Catcher and a half-sister to Geronimo, who’s competing at the ZZ-Zwaar level. The Approved KWPN stallions Redford and Foundation come from the same family.
