ROF Broodmares Friesian Sporthorses & Warmbloods

"Proud breeder and promoter of the Friesian Sporthorse."

We're very proud of the small group of quality Friesian Sporthorse and Warmblood mares we've chosen for our own breeding program. We realize a quality mare is as important as a quality stallion. Each of our special mares was chosen for their movement, conformation, temperament, pedigree, and potential to produce quality sporthorse foals, with a special emphasis on dressage. We then carefully select Approved Warmblood and Friesian Sporthorse stallions, to ensure top quality foals. Our diligence in pairing quality mares with quality Approved stallions is one of the things which makes our breeding program stand out, and has made River Oaks Farm one of the most respected Friesian Sporthorse breeding programs in the country.

All of our foals are registered and DNA'ed with the Friesian Sporthorse Association (FSA)

Natasha -- Dutch Warmblood

1995 Dutch Warmblood, 16.2 hands, chestnut mare. Natasha was acquired by

River Oaks Farm in 2009. She is a lovely Dutch mare -- the treasured "old style"

Warmblood, with great bone and powerful gaits.

Natasha has a star-studded, proven sport pedigree. Natasha's sire was Jacobean,

by the famous Dutch Preferent stallion Roemer. Roemer was a Grand Prix dressage

horse and Grand Prix jumper, and stood at Iron Spring Farm until his death in 1996.

Roemer can be found in the pedigrees of 2012 Olympic Dressage Silver Medalist

"Parzival" (Jazz/ Ulft/ Roemer) and Edward Gal's Grand Prix horse

"Glock Undercover" (Ferro/ Donnerhall/ Roemer),

pedigree of "Uthopia" who finished 5th in the 2012 Olympics for dressage.

Jacobean's dam (Natasha's grand-dam) was a Ster mare by Saluut,

sire of famous jumpers including Saluut II.

Natasha's dam was a Ster mare by Consul, another of the illustrious stallions

of Iron Spring Farm. Consul competed thru Fourth Level dressage, as well as

show jumping in the Netherlands. He was retired due to injury,

but went on to more than prove himself as a sire.

Natasha was purchased as a broodmare, and was never started under saddle.

She had one full sibling, a 17.3 hand gelding named One Hundred Proof

(Jacobean x Jazzmine.) As a 3-year-old, One Hundred Proof finished

7th out of 28 horses at Devon in the Suitable to be a Dressage Horse class for

3 and 4 year olds, and went on to win or place in every class he was

in thru Third Level, including qualifying for ABIG's and BLM's at

Training, First, and Second Level. He was schooling

FEI Prix St Georges when he sadly died at age 10 of colic.

Natasha has produced three National Champion Friesian Sporthorses

when paired with the Elite FSA Grand Prix dressage stallion Lexington.

Natasha's first foal (Lancaster ROF, by Lexington) earned his

Bronze Elite Book status via inspection in 2010, and was also the

Overall Inspection Champion with an impressive 80.4, and was the

2010 FSA National Inspection & In-hand Champion. Natasha's second foal

(Lily ROF, by Lexington) also earned her Bronze Elite Book status, was the

Overall Inspection Champion at her inspection, and was also named the

USDF DSHB Southeast Region Champion "Foals of 2011" and was the

2011 FSA National Inspection & In-hand Champion, with scores in the 80's.

Natasha's fourth foal (Lisbon ROF, by Lexington) won multiple

Champion & Reserve Champion titles at USDF DSHB competitions

in 2013 and qualified for Regional Championships, where she was the

2013 Region III Reserve Champion. Lisbon ROF also finished

8th for USDF Horse of the Year Dressage Sport Horse Breeding "Fillies"

2013, was the USDF/FSA All-Breeds DSHB Filly Champion 2013,

and was the 2013 FSA National Inspection & In-hand Champion.
