Vetch

Vetch was imported from the Netherlands by us in late 2024 and combines wonderful Norwegian, German and Dutch lines bringing brand new genetics to North America! 

His sire is the Norwegian born yellow dun stallion Jakobgardens Junar by Lille Ulrik. Lille Ulrik is the only approved yellow dun stallion in Norway convincing with his traditional build, overall movement scores of 8.5 (9s for trot and walk) and his very active underreaching hind legs. We also appreciate his short typey head. 

His mother is the Dutch mare Füress by the German bred grey stallion Drafur. We have been looking at Drafur and the German D- line for years and are super excited to finally have the opportunity to add his genetics to the North American gene pool. Drafur has always reminded us of our German import stallion Tsjalle and also has an easy uncomplicated disposition that he passes on to his foals. He is very willing and has good quality legs and feet. 

Füress is going back on her mother line to the influential Dutch stallions Sebastian and Toddy I. 

Vetch has convinced us with his unrelated genetics and his athleticism. We loved seeing his excellent stallion presence from a very young age as well as his confidence. We are expecting him to mature around 14.1hh/14.2hh. This combination of traits is something we find in our stallion Tsjalle, who we purchased and imported in 2017/2018 from Germany and has proven to be an excellent fit for our program. 

We are planning on breeding a limited number of mares to Vetch in 2026. He will not be available for outside mares. Stud colts will only be available with a gelding contract.
