FLEMMINGH Preferent
Lacapo x Carneval

Flemmingh carries all of the great Holstein jumping names on his pedigree. His breeding combines the blood of the French import Cor de la Bryere with the Holsteiner Farnese, plus a double dose of Thoroughbred via Ladykiller xx. Flemmingh has been given ¨Preferent¨ status by the KWPN. This is the highest rating that a stallion can receive in Holland, indicating the highest quality and contribution to Dutch breeding.

When famed Dutch breeder, Weipke van de Lageweg, bought the bay jumper colt Flemmingh, he could not have known that the stallion would form the foundation of a whole new dressage line! Flemmingh placed 3rd in his performance test in 1990, scoring three 9s out of a possible 10, including a 9 for jumping. Flemmingh was described as having ¨fine movements, an active, roomy walk, a rich trot and a good canter. He is a careful jumper with a lot of talent. He showed to be a willing worker and never seemed to tire¨. In the jury report, Flemmingh was described as having sufficient talent in dressage and a lot of promise as a jumper. His first promotional photo showed Flemmingh over a jump. Soon the jump shot was gone and the emphasis was on Flemmingh, the dressage sire -- and with good reason.

Flemmingh has five approved sons. The show performances of his offspring have shown them to be truly world class. Sons Krack C and Lingh have both been key members of the Dutch National Team, with many international wins between them. Up To Date was champion of the FEI 5-year olds in the USA, as well as son Regent who won gold for the U.S. at the Pan American games in 2007. Flemmingh is the sire of many champion ster and keur mares, as well as numerous first premium foals.

The foals of Flemmingh are very much in demand by dressage riders, trainers and dealers because they are very eager learners, like to work and move easily.
