Lexington Elite Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix stallion

Lexington is a beautiful and well-bred Elite Book Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix dressage

stallion, with a pedigree full of proven sport bloodlines on both sides. He is an expressive

mover, with three good gaits, a wonderful friendly personality,and unbeatable trainability.

He blends the beauty and temperament of the Friesian with the stamina

and athleticism of the Thoroughbred.

Lexington has been DNA tested as homozygous black (E/E, a/a), meaning his

foals will be black or bay (or possibly grey, only if bred to a grey mare),

but he cannot sire chestnut foals.

Lexington has been very successful on the highly competitive Florida dressage

circuit, from his Training Level debut thru to his current successes at

FEI Grand Prix -- including being the USDF All-Breeds

National Champion Friesian Sporthorse at Grand Prix

in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.

FEI / Grand Prix Level Dressage Show Record

Lexington was retired from competition in 2019 after seven years competing at

Grand Prix, and being the USDF Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix National Champion

four different times. He began competing at the FEI level as a 7-year-old,

and in 2012 as an 8-year-old he had a fantastically successful year competing at

FEI Prix St Georges and FEI Intermediare-I; scoring in the 70's at Prix St Georges,

and with scores no lower than 63% at FEI Intermediare-1, and

consistently in the ribbons at both levels. He wrapped up 2012 with a year-end

Prix St Georges average of 69.747%, ranked 15th for USDF

Horse of the Year 2012 and being named the USDF All-Breeds Prix St Georges

National Champion for 2012 and the FSA High Performance

National Champion for 2012. A last minute show cancellation left Lexington

without enough Intermediare-I scores to be nationally ranked for 2013,

unfortunately, although his scores were quite good. Lexington also earned his

Gold Elite Book status in 2012, making him the first Friesian Sporthorse

stallion to have acheived Gold Elite Book status.

Lexington made his Grand Prix debut in 2013 as a 10-year-old.

In addition to his success with his trainer Gigha Steinman, Lexington also helped two

other riders earn their USDF Medals -- he carried one rider earn her USDF Silver Medal

Prix St Georges scores, and carried another rider to earn her USDF Gold Medal

Grand Prix scores, proving his versatility with both amateurs and professionals.

Earlier Dressage Career

Lexington has had a very successful dressage career, quickly and successfully

movingup the levels. As a 4 year-old he scored consistently in the 70's at Training

Level,finishing the year ranked 19th in the country for USDF Dressage Horse of the

Year at Training Level (2008), and also being named the USDF All-Breeds

Champion at Training Level for the Friesian Sporthorse Association.

As a 5-year-old Lexington competed successfully at First Level,

still scoring in the 70's, and still winning. He finished 2009 ranked

35th for USDF Dressage Horse of the Year 2009 at First Level, and

also being named the USDF All-Breeds Champion for First Level for the

Friesian Sporthorse Association. Lexington was virtually undefeated at Training

and First Level, winning nearly every class he was in.

He was also the IFSHA 2008 Horse of the Year for Training Level

(74.6% year-end average) and the IFSHA 2009 Horse of the Year for

First Level (72.2% year-end average.) As a 6 year-old Lexington skipped

Second Level and jumped up to Third Level, with scores to 70+%,

and still consistently in the ribbons. Lexington wrapped up 2010 being named

USDF All-Breeds Champion at Third Level for the Friesian Sporthorse Association,

the 2010 USEF/PHR Third Level Region 3 Reserve Champion, and the FSA High

Performance Reserve Champion (with a Third Level average of 69.52%.)

As a 7 year-old Lexington debuted successfully at FEI Prix St Georges,

and wrapped up the year as the 2011 FSA High Performance National Champion.

In 2012 Lexington continued to improve on the Prix St Georges

(with scores in the 70's) and also made his Intermediare-1 debut

(with scores consistently in the 60's.) He wrapped up 2012 ranked

15th for USDF Horse of the Year at Prix St Georges with a

year-end average of 69.747%. He was also the USDF All-Breeds

National Champion for Prix St Georges, and was named the

FSA High Performance National Champion for 2012. Competing successfully

at Grand Prix in 2014, Lexington won yet another USDF National All-Breeds Award,

this time at Grand Prix, and repeated this victory again in 2015, 2017, and 2018.

Fantastic Temperament & Trainability

Lexington has a lovely temperament and fantastic trainability. On the ground he is

friendly and quiet and very well behaved. Under saddle he has an incredible work ethic

and focus, making him a joy to train. He's smart and willing, with a disposition

amateurs and professionals would equally appreciate.

In addition to his success with his trainer Gigha Steinman, Lexington also helped

two other riders earn their USDF Medals -- he carried one rider earn her

USDF Silver Medal Prix St Georges scores, and carried another rider to earn

her USDF Gold Medal Grand Prix scores, proving his versatility

with both amateurs and professionals.

Lexington as a Sire

Lexington is also proving himself as a sire, siring a record FIVE National Champion

Friesian Sporthorses, a USDF/DSHB two-time Regional Champion (2011 & 2014),

a USDF/DSHB Regional Reserve Champion (2013), a USDF/DSHB Regional

Reserve Champion (2014), multiple USDF/DSHB Regional Qualifiers,

USDF All-Breeds Champions, USDF/DSHB Horse of the Year

Top 10 finishers, Inspection High Score Champions, and foals which are

consistently earning Bronze Elite status when presented at inspection. Additionally,

Lauderdale ROF currently holds the record for the highest score ever awarded

to a Friesian Sporthorse at inspection, a fantastic 89.1%.

In 2013 Lexington was ranked #10 on the USEF Leading Dressage

Breeding Sires list. (Numerous photos, testimonials, video links, etc can be

seen by clicking the "Offspring Photos" link, below.)

Lexington's Pedigree

Lexington is a uniquely well-bred Friesian Sporthorse. His sire is the imported

Friesian stallion Baron von Kolderveen, who was the highest ranked Friesian stallion

on the USEF's list of Leading Dressage Sires for 2008. Baron's sire Reyert

is also the sire of the Grand Prix Friesian Tietse, who was the first Friesian stallion

to be approved based on performance. Baron's grandsire Reitse was an incredibly

successful sire, and it is common to see his name in the pedigrees of

sport Friesians. Reitse sired numerous successful dressage Friesians, including an

impressive ten approved stallion sons, including Iron Spring Farm's Grand Prix Friesian

stallion Goffert. Baron's damsire is Peke, another successful sport

Friesian sire. Peke was known for passing on his beautiful head and strong

hindquarters, and was the damsire of the Grand Prix Friesian stallion Fire Magic

(who is also famous as "the red Friesian".) Also noteable is Baron's

great-grandsire Tamme, who is the sire of 5 approved Friesian stallions.

Tamme is also the sire of the Approved Friesian Sporthorse stallion Nico,

and is the damsire of Iron Spring Farm's FEI level Friesian stallion Ulbert.

There are too many successful sport Friesians in Lexington's pedigree to list them

all, but his pedigree is available below.

Lexington is out of a Thoroughbred mare by Denver Kid, and the Thoroughbred side of

his pedigree is full of famous Thoroughbreds and some of the most popular names in

Thoroughbred sporthorse breeding: Turn-To, Hail to Reason, Northern Dancer,

Native Dancer, My Babu, Sea-Bird, Buckpasser, Nasrullah, Nearco, and Ribot,

to name a few. These names show up in pedigrees from Theodore O'Connor (Pan Am

Games event horse) to Olympic Bonfire (Anky van Grunsven's Olympic dressage horse)

to Sea Accounts (one of the only Thoroughbred stallions to complete the 100 day test and

earn his lifetime breeding license from the RPSI) and Fappiano (USEF leading

sire of event horses 2002-2006.)

Foal Registration...

All of Lexington's foals are eligible for registration with the FSA (Friesian Sporthorse Association).

Lexington's foals are also eligible for registration with the AWS (American Warmblood

Society), as well as the myriad of Friesian crossbred registries.

This is a great opportunity to breed to one of the best known and most successful

Friesian Sporthorse stallions in the US.

Only available via frozen semen (proven frozen semen.)
