Wizard - ( Joline x Darwin) foaled 2003 |

Joline |
Wizard is an '0 3 rich dark brown gelding
currently over 16.2h and growing. He is well balanced and elegant and his movement
is supple and bright. His dam Joline earned her Keur status with the KWPNand had three superior foals in Holland before
being imported to the USA. She is the grandam of KWPN stallion, Scandic, by her Elite daugher Noraline. Joline has now had four foals here at Windhover
farm, with Wizard being the first as a result of a cross with KWPN star Darwin.
Darwin is well known for producing winners in both the jumping arena as well
as in dressage, where he is a leading sire in both disciplines in the KWPN
breeding value stats, and with the USDF. The reasons for his offspring's many successes
are due to his passing along excellent conformation and movement, but
perhaps the most important is an incredibly friendly temperment and a strong willingness
to work. This combination can only lead to easy trainabilty and long
term soundness of mind and body. Wizard, no exception, is a solid character
and is just a delight to handle and should follow his siblings along the
path to success in whatever area lead. Wizard has had the recent good fortune to be purchased by FEI rider Rebecca Cleveland of Birmingham, Al. He will no doubt recieve excellent care and training as he begins his new life and career with her. |
