This beautiful and well sized black Ferro son has everything to become a real top horse: perfect model, three fantastic gaits, good in jumping, flexibility and world inheritance. Dressage, jumping and cross-country: he can do anything.

His father, the black Ferro, is undoubtedly the best dressage stallion of recent years. With Coby Van Baalen he gained innumerable international victories and Olympic silver. His oldest children already perform at Grand Prix level meanwhile, both in dressage and jumping.

Mother Oreal comes from the famous Blesse stock and is a guarantee for performance and beauty. Mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were national mare champions. A lot of good jumpers and dressage horses come from this stock. Mother Oreal already gave a lot of top jumpers and dressage horses at a young age: Roxane (Ria Loots), Sandro (Rita Philippaerts), Turbo (Philippaerts), Vasco (Wilfried Mondelaers) and Warkant (Wilfied Mondelaers).
Warkant is Turbo van ‘t Gestelhof’s half brother, tested stallion in Belgium (BWP) and Zangersheide and a well performing stallion with Ludo Philippaerts.

At the age of three he gained a splendid 3rd place in Germany’s hardest stallion contest. Here Warkant proved to be a many-sided sports stallion: cross index 148 (1st place), dressage index 133 (2nd place), jumping index 118 (6th place). Step: 8,7 – trot: 8 – gallop: 8 – riding: 9 – jumping: 9. Because of his beautiful model and his enormous talent for sports, Warkant is approved for life in Germany.

As a four year old horse Warkant performed exceptionally well and many-sided. With 16 victories in dressage he had the best score of all dressage stallions in 2003 in Belgium, under amateur horseman Wilfried Mondelaers. Furthermore he proved his talent for jumping once again: 2nd in the international jumping competition for 4 year old horses in Ochtrup (Germany) and best 4 year old tested BWP stallion in the stallion contest at the Mechelen Jumping.
