Performance test report
Exterior:
Nirvano is a well-developed, long-legged, and upwardly built stallion with a strong dressage conformation. His head is expressive. The neck is very well-proportioned in length with a light head-neck connection. The neck has a good shape and length with sufficient musculature. The shoulder is well-positioned and of good length. The withers are sufficiently developed and well-extended. The back is well-proportioned and adequately muscled. The loins have sufficient musculature and are well-connected. The croup is slightly sloping, of sufficient length, and adequately muscled. The thigh muscle has sufficient length. The foreleg is correctly positioned from both the side and front views. The hind leg is slightly sickle-hocked. The pasterns, both front and hind, are of good length and correctly positioned. The foundation is slightly fine in build but of strong quality. The hooves are well-developed, slightly narrow in shape, and of good quality. The heels are well-developed.
Pedigree:
Premium stallion Nirvano is the first KWPN-approved son of performance champion For Ferrero, a son of For Romance, who was twice crowned Oldenburg champion stallion. For Ferrero is currently competing successfully at ZZ-Zwaar level. Nirvano’s dam is Hitricia, a ster and PROK mare by the stallion Charmeur, who performed at the international Grand Prix level under Madeleine Witte-Vrees. Nirvano’s granddam, Dujardin, is a daughter of the preferent dressage sire Vivaldi and holds the elite, sport-(dressage), IBOP-(dressage), and PROK predicates. Dujardin has also competed at ZZ-Licht level in the sport. Nirvano’s dam line continues with Itricia, a preferent performance mare by Wolfgang. Itricia is the dam of the Small Tour horse Apart (by United), the international 1.60m showjumper Channel (by Rascin), the Z-level driving dressage horse Gracieuze (by Charmeur), and the 1.35m showjumper Nando (by Ircolando). Additionally, Itricia is the grandmother and great-grandmother of numerous successful jumping and dressage horses competing in the sport.
Performance test report:
Nirvano is an honest and cooperative stallion with a good work ethic and strong willingness to move forward. His walk has a good rhythm, is sufficiently active, and well-grounded. His trot is light-footed, has good reach, and features excellent leg technique. His canter has a good jump, strong balance, and exceptional self-carriage. The stallion moves with great lightness, very good posture, and strong balance. As a dressage horse, Nirvano shows great potential and gives his rider a good feeling.
Stable behavior:
An honest, reliable stallion, easy to handle, and calm in the stable. During the performance test, it was noted that Nirvano crib-bites.
Veterinary report:
During the performance test, the stallion received one physiotherapy treatment due to slight stiffness, which had a positive effect. In the first week of the test, he was given preventive medication for his stomach.
