Wagrusa H is a Star Prok KWPN mare purchased from the family Hazenburg  in Holland and imported to our farm in 2008. Wagrusa was in foal for the second time to Wittinger, the Champion of his stallion test who is also related to Wagrusa through his dam.  Wagrusa first foal from Wittinger was purchased by VDL as a stallion prospect.

Wagrusa breeder, family Hazenberg are prominent breeder in Holland who hardly ever have mares available for sale.  Their foals are very sought after and a long line of buyers are looking forward to their offspring. Thanks to Kathy from Majestic Gaits and Janko from VDL Stud in helping us facilitate this sale. Wagrusa's Ster and Prok predicates indicate  high quality being above the standard of the breed and successfully passed the same X rays required for stallion’s approval.

MARE LINE

Wagrusa's famous mare line is impressive and loaded with approved stallions, national and international level jumpers and dressage. Wagrusa siblings include; CARUSA, Keur Pref, 1989 champion of her Keuring in CK Groningen and dam of  Irusa, mother  of the 2006 Champion jumping stallion test Wittinger; GRAND STAR , CROWN, (stb name Beatle) international jumper and KWPN-NA approved stallion ; LARUSO Licensed Stallion in Hungaria and MARUSA H Keur, dam of the international jumper Ragrusa H.

Varusa is also the grand dam and great grand dam of many Keur and Preferent mares with high results at mare test , Keuring Championship and 2nd round stallion. Her sire Le Val Blanc xx is found in many mare line of international Champion such as Hamlet, sire of Hickstead, Olympic Cocktail and Falco and sire of approved stallions such as Zuidhorn, Valblank, Woldstreek and Zaïre. Zuidhorn was in the the top 20 in World Rankings for both Dressage and Show Jumping Sires and is even closer related to Varusa being as well by Le Val Blanc out of a Sinaeda mare.  Le Val Blanc is one of the throroughbred with Pericles, Lucky Boy, Uppercut and Courville who had a tremendous impact on the transformation of the KWPN. It is nice to find this stallion so close.

Champion du Lys is regarded as one of the best show jumping sires worldwide.

Champion du Lys has valuable French sport genes – his grandsire Mexico is full brother to the great stallion Furioso II, who has produced innumerable jumping and dressage horses as well as flourishing stallion lines.

The dam of Silverstone, Marthago, is a real Holstein breeding mare. She became ‘Keur’ and received in her EPTM test, three times an 8 and a 9 for jumping. Her sire Carthago Z earned a 9.5 for free jumping and a 10 for jumping talent! Carthago competed in 15 Nations Cups and was a member of the Dutch team at the Sydney Games. He finished in 11th place at the Atlanta Games with Jos Lanskinkd. With an index of 182 he headed the FN young jumping stallion ratings. Sire Capitol’s grand dam Retina was a Hamburg Jumping Derby with Fritz Thiedemann. His dam, Folia, showed great jumping potential and produced the licensed stallions Latus I and II, as well as the two Capitols, and famous daughters Kausa, Lektion (eventing) and U-Capitola (dam of Lord Capitol).

Folia’s dam, Vase, was a full sister to Romanus who competed with success with Hans Günter Winkler. The dam sire, Calando I stood at several breeding stations in Holstein before pursuing a performance career that culminated in a German Championship with Karsten Huck. Marthago also produces Chuck Z, a Zangersheide approved stallion. Then we find the Ramiro x Gotthard son, Renomee who sired more international jumping horses.
