Here we have a young stallion who has been carefully produced and prepared for a career as a competitor and a sire. In only a handful of outings in the show ring, he qualified for both CHAPS and BSPA championships in both 2004 and 2005. He was presented for grading with ECHA in September 2007 where he passed and was graded premium stallion and entered into stallion book 1. He also had to do a 1 day ridden performance test where he had the 2nd highest score behind an advanced dressage stallion. He had to be ridden by 2 riders, 1 of whom had sat on him only on 2 occasions before the day, and the other who had never sat on him until the day of grading. He responded in a calm and relaxed manner, where nothing phased him and we feel this is due to his impeccable temperament and manner. He is showing serious promise under saddle and his competition career will start the latter end of 2008, a little later than expected due to no fault of his own.

Vagebont, or Nemo as he is known as at home, combines some of the finest coloured bloodlines available in Holland. The famous Samber, who needs no introduction, is on his dam line and Mecenas, a fabulous Polish Warmblood with almost pure Trakehner and Anglo Arab lines, as his sire. Mecenas was approved for breeding with the NRPS in Holland, and was a successful advanced dressage horse. Sadly Mecenas died all too soon, but he left many elegant, big moving, athletic offspring in Holland and all over the world. Nemo's dam Lista, is a proven broodmare who is the dam of a ster mare in her own right. Her dam was by the prolific Afrikaner xx, whose blood is found in many successful dressage and jumping horses.

We believe we are offering here, a very versatile young stallion who convinces with his athleticism, his very correct and expressive paces and his scope over fences, along with his very amenable and willing temperament. The combination of modern and elegant blood via Mecenas and the proven performance blood via his dam, will make him a great choice for a variety of mares.
