With the arrival of New Pleasure VDL, the VDL Stud welcomes a young talent with proven genes.

This KWPN premium stallion was one of the eye-catchers of the KWPN Stallion Show 2021, not least because of his fantastic pedigree. In the KWPN Performance Test, New Pleasure VDL proved to be the absolute top scores with no less than 87.5 points. The impressive chestnut stallion stood out from the rest by a distance.

Sire For Pleasure jumped ridden by both Lars Nieberg and Marcus Ehning to Olympic team gold in 1996 and 2000 and became one of the most influential stallions of all time. The same goes for grandsire Diamant de Semilly, who ridden by Eric Levallois won team gold at the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Vejer de la Frontera. Great-grandsire Darco is the next big name in New Pleasure VDL’s pedigree; not to mention great-great-grandsire Quidam de Revel.

The modern chestnut stallion New Pleasure VDL is bred out of Lady-A ter Putte, who competed at 1.45m-level with Andres Vereecke. She already produced the Zangersheide approved stallions Quick Star ter Putte and Rock Star ter Putte. Lady-A ter Putte is also the full sister of the famous Elvis ter Putte.…
