23-year-old Leuns Field's Lord registered as NWR Studbook stallion

At the end of the first viewing of the NWR stallions at the Central Welsh Stallion Show today in Ermelo, the 23-year-old NWR stallion Leuns Veld's Lord was entered directly into the studbook.

Leuns Veld's Lord (by Vita Nova's Celesto) has more than proven himself as a sire and has already passed a German performance test. Partly for this reason and based on his own sport performance, the jury was able to approve him directly for the studbook.

Proven stallion

Lord came before the judges in the last group of the day and was allowed to pass the ‘man with the hat’ without a problem. Jury chairman Elbert Koelewijn then took up the microphone to explain that Lord would be entered immediately. “A proven stallion who has kept himself well. He still looks great and also showed very well here. He was already approved by the veterinarian today, which is why we can enter him right now.”

Leuns Veld's Lord is a breeding product of former ‘Breeder of the Year’ Anton Peeters. Lord's dam is the crown, elite mare Sonhof's Sabine (by Silvertop's Rico). The bay, 1.48m stallion is owned by Sweden's Karin Levin-Angergard. The years before Lord moved to Sweden, he was actively used and promoted by Ronald Vrolijken of Coelenhage Stables.
