For Gribaldi

Biography

The ub ZZ-Licht dressage debut in 2016 of For Gribaldi, ridden by Dinja van Liere, culminated in an impressive victory that immediately confirmed his exceptional talent as a Grand Prix prospect. Van Liere praised the stallion’s rideability and natural ability: “For Gribaldi performs demanding exercises such as flying changes and half pirouettes with remarkable ease.” For Gribaldi quickly qualified for the prestigious Pavo Cup final for six-year-old dressage horses, finishing an excellent 6th place among elite competition. Judge Monique Peutz commented: “A very attractive horse with a beautiful model. His lightness is remarkable and he is extremely pleasant to ride.” For Gribaldi is widely regarded as a potential successor to the legendary Gribaldi, one of the most influential dressage sires in modern breeding. The similarities are striking: a willing character, an outstanding walk, and exceptional talent for collection. His dam line further enhances his breeding value, featuring four consecutive generations awarded Keur, Kroon, and Preferent predicates within the KWPN studbook. Dam Kladaula was crowned Utrecht Champion as a three-year-old, while both granddam Ladaula and great-granddam Daula achieved national championship titles — a rare and highly sought-after maternal lineage in Dutch dressage breeding. With proven sport performance, elite bloodlines, and promising progeny results, For Gribaldi positions himself as a top KWPN dressage stallion and a valuable asset for breeders aiming for Grand Prix potential.
