6-28-02, KWPN registered stallion, 16.3 hands, black, with Olympic potential like sire and dam. One Dutch keuring inspector stated that Verro Dello is, "The best moving Olympic Ferro in the US!" He is approved (RPSI Book 2) to attend the next 30-day stallion performance test.  Verro Dello could easily qualify in dressage, is very comfortable, carries himself in a soft round frame with expressive gaits, has a steady calm brain (even when with beginner and child riders), and has a balanced "10" canter and "9" walk.  He is honest to fences with a quiet hunter pace. He is very fertile, producing quality foals, and could easily be a prospect for either grand prix dressage or an easy amatuer-owner hunter if gelded.

He sired the champion of the three-year-old stallions at s'Hertogenbosch in 2000, and has nine young stallions in the second round there in 2001. Olympic Ferro can be relied upon to produce beautiful, typy, talented offspring of the highest quality. Fantastic toplines and an elegant look characterize his get. In addition to their dressage excellence, Olympic Ferro's offspring also make good jumpers.
