Sidney ISF is an attractive 16.2hh 2022 KWPN-NA gelding sired by Cum Laude, out of the successful FEI dressage mare La Belladonna CF, Sport, by Hofrat. Designated First Premium at his KWPN-NA keuring as a foal, this modern young sporthorse has continued to develop in a positive direction. He is long-lined with good type, tons of expression, and ample energy and balance in his gaits. Inquisitive and people-oriented by nature, Sidney thrives with a consistent program and has already started introduction to desensitization work. In the barn, he is good for clipping, bathing, and regular veterinary and farrier visits. With a pedigree proven in FEI-level Dressage, Sidney should be a fun prospect for a confident Amateur or Professional to develop for the future. Located and available to be seen in Coatesville, PA, with radiographs available.

Sire Cum Laude, a son of the international Grand Prix horse Apache, Preferent, is now making a name for himself as a top breeding stallion in North America after enjoying success in the performance rings of Europe. Under Vai Bruntink, Cum Laude was developed through the young horse classes up to the CDI3* level, including winning his CDI small tour debut at the World Championships for Young Horses with a 71.618% in the Prix St. Georges. The Cum Laude offspring have been well-received at their keurings, with multiple Elite daughters and First Premium foals to his credit, and the son No Worries SL being selected for the second-round viewing of the KWPN stallion show. Cum Laude passes on his very good type, workmanlike attitude, and top gaits under saddle.

La Belladonna CF had wins at the Intermediate II and Grand Prix level with scores to 70+%, including at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, FL. Her sire Hofrat is a son of the internationally successful Grand Prix horse Gribaldi, who is also known as the sire of the renowned Totilas. Hofrat himself was successful to Grand Prix and has sired a number of FEI horses, including the noted sire and Grand Prix horse Hotline. La Belladonna is out of the Donnerhall daughter La Donnarina, a full sibling to the KWPN approved Grand Prix stallion Don Primaire and herself a producer of multiple performance horses.
