Nashville Star

KWPN Performance Champion

Nashville Star

Nashville Star is a powerful moving, complete stallion sired by the Olympic horse Desperados FRH. During the KWPN performance test, the elegant black stallion, bred by L. Martens & daughters from Zuidveen, lived up to all expectations. Scoring 87.5 points, he became the performance champion!

The performance jury, led by Bert Rutten, was enthusiastic about Nashville Star's performance. Rutten stated, “A chic stallion with a beautiful dressage model. He is light-footed, always forward-thinking, eager to work, has a lot of go and a very nice character.” About the walk, Rutten said, “He walks with a lot of freedom, and always with a clear and big stride. The walk is one of the key points in our breeding program, and Nashville Star is a very good example of this!” The stallion received a 9.5 for his walk. For trot and canter, Nashville Star scored an 8.5. In his comments about the trot and canter, Rutten praised his good use of the hind leg, beautiful front leg technique and his enormous ability to make transitions. The other scores were an 8.5 for suppleness, posture and balance, a 9.0 for rideability, and an 8.5 for aptitude as a dressage horse. With a total score of 87.5 points, Nashville Star was named the performance champion.

Nashville Star is being trained by Dinja van Liere. He is developing well and consistently scores high for his trot and canter at all competitions. But it is his fantastic walk that stands out the most, regularly earning him a score of 9.5.

Nashville Star is the first KWPN-approved son of Desperados FRH. This international Grand Prix stallion competed successfully under Kristina Bröring-Sprehe at the Olympic Games in both London and Rio de Janeiro. Nashville Star's dam is Ezrasijgje, a star mare by the Grand Prix keur stallion Westpoint. Further in Nashville Star's pedigree, we find the highly decorated mare Rasijgje. Rasijgje is an elite, preferent, performance, sport-(dr), PROK daughter of the stallion Montecristo, and she competed at the ZZ-Zwaar level in dressage herself. Rasijgje produced the following sport horses: the Small Tour horse Walskoning (s. Jazz), the ZZ-Licht horse Barleduc (s. Rubin Royal), as well as two Z2-classified dressage horses. Nashville Star's dam line continues with the preferent stallion Flemmingh. His daughter is the performance mare Lesijgje, who produced multiple Z-classified dressage horses in combination with the stallions Metall and Havidoff.

The foals of Nashville Star are long-lined, modern looking, and have a lot of blood expression. They move with light-footedness and a lot of self-carriage.
