Scope never gets old and that is something that the world-famous For Pleasure undeniably passes on to his offspring. For Friendship VDL is a typical son of For Pleasure; light-footed, athletic ability and good reflexes. At the stallion show of the Hannoveran Verband, For Friendship VDL therefore gained a positive result and was awarded as Premium Stallion.

Sire For Pleasure belonged to the world’s best showjumpers with both Lars Nieberg and later Marcus Ehning and twice won a gold team medal at the Olympic Games; both in Atlanta ’96 and in Sidney ’00. In breeding, For Pleasure is at least as impressive, thinking of offspring like Fit For Fun of Luciana Diniz, Flora de Mariposa of Pénélope Leprévost, Barron of Lucy Davis, Funky Fred of Marcus Ehning and many others. The grandsire of For Friendship VDL is Stakkato Gold and this Hannoverian bred stallion showed off his great value in breeding the last years. Stakkato Gold combines the genes of the foundation sire Stakkato with the genes of the 1.50m-showjumping mare Wertherroesschen – a daughter of Werther out of a Libero H-mare. In breeding, Stakkato Gold stands out by passing on his fantastic way of jumping and reflexes to his offspring and many of them have made their appearances at international Grand Prix-level.

For Friendship VDL’s granddam Zaphira is a daughter of the famous Zeus and jumped herself up to 1.50m-level. Further on, For Friendship VDL’s pedigree is completed by the influential sire Raphael.
