16h, black, Elite Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix dressage stallion

Approved  FSA (Friesian Sporthorse Association (Gold Elite))



Lexington is a beautiful and well-bred Elite Book Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix dressage
stallion, with a pedigree full of proven sport bloodlines on both sides.  He is an expressive
mover, with three good gaits, a wonderful friendly personality,and unbeatable trainability.
He blends the beauty and temperament of the Friesian with the stamina
and athleticism of the Thoroughbred.

Lexington has been DNA tested as homozygous black (E/E, a/a), meaning his
foals will be black or bay (or possibly grey, only if bred to a grey mare),
but he cannot sire chestnut foals. 

Lexington has been very successful on the highly competitive Florida dressage
circuit, from his Training Level debut thru to his current successes at
FEI Grand Prix -- including being the USDF All-Breeds
National Champion Friesian Sporthorse at Grand Prix
in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.

FEI / Grand Prix Level Dressage Show Record

Lexington was retired from competition in 2019 after seven years competing at
Grand Prix, and being the USDF Friesian Sporthorse Grand Prix National Champion
four different times.  He began competing at the FEI level as a 7-year-old,
and in 2012 as an 8-year-old he had a fantastically successful year competing at
FEI Prix St Georges and FEI Intermediare-I; scoring in the 70's at Prix St Georges,
and with scores no lower than 63% at FEI Intermediare-1, and
consistently in the ribbons at both levels.  He wrapped up 2012 with a year-end
Prix St Georges average of 69.747%, ranked 15th for USDF
Horse of the Year 2012 and being named the USDF All-Breeds Prix St Georges
National Champion for 2012 and the FSA High Performance
National Champion for 2012.  A last minute show cancellation left Lexington
without enough Intermediare-I scores to be nationally ranked for 2013,
unfortunately, although his scores were quite good. Lexington also earned his
Gold Elite Book status in 2012, making him the first Friesian Sporthorse
stallion to have acheived Gold Elite Book status. 
Lexington made his Grand Prix debut in 2013 as a 10-year-old.   

In addition to his success with his trainer Gigha Steinman, Lexington also helped two
other riders earn their USDF Medals -- he carried one rider earn her USDF Silver Medal
Prix St Georges scores, and carried another rider to earn her USDF Gold Medal
Grand Prix scores, proving his versatility with both amateurs and professionals.

Earlier Dressage Career

Lexington has had a very successful dressage career, quickly and successfully
movingup the levels.  As a 4 year-old he scored consistently in the 70's at Training
Level,finishing the year ranked 19th in the country for USDF Dressage Horse of the
Year at Training Level (2008), and also being named the USDF All-Breeds
Champion at Training Level for the Friesian Sporthorse Association. 
As a 5-year-old Lexington competed successfully at First Level,
still scoring in the 70's, and still winning.  He finished 2009 ranked
35th for USDF Dressage Horse of the Year 2009 at First Level, and
also being named the USDF All-Breeds Champion for First Level for the
Friesian Sporthorse Association. Lexington was virtually undefeated at Training
and First Level, winning nearly every class he was in.
He was also the IFSHA 2008 Horse of the Year for Training Level
(74.6% year-end average) and the IFSHA 2009 Horse of the Year for
First Level (72.2% year-end average.)  As a 6 year-old Lexington skipped
Second Level and jumped up to Third Level, with scores to 70+%,
and still consistently in the ribbons.  Lexington wrapped up 2010 being named
USDF All-Breeds Champion at Third Level for the Friesian Sporthorse Association,
the 2010 USEF/PHR Third Level Region 3 Reserve Champion, and the FSA High
Performance Reserve Champion (with a Third Level average of 69.52%.)
As a 7 year-old Lexington debuted successfully at FEI Prix St Georges,
and wrapped up the year as the 2011 FSA High Performance National Champion.
In 2012 Lexington continued to improve on the Prix St Georges
(with scores in the 70's) and also made his Intermediare-1 debut
(with scores consistently in the 60's.)  He wrapped up 2012 ranked
15th for USDF Horse of the Year at Prix St Georges with a
year-end average of 69.747%. He was also the USDF All-Breeds
National Champion for Prix St Georges, and was named the
FSA High Performance National Champion for 2012.  Competing successfully
at Grand Prix in 2014, Lexington won yet another USDF National All-Breeds Award,
this time at Grand Prix, and repeated this victory again in 2015, 2017, and 2018.

Fantastic Temperament & Trainability

Lexington has a lovely temperament and fantastic trainability.  On the ground he is
friendly and quiet and very well behaved.  Under saddle he has an incredible work ethic
and focus, making him a joy to train.  He's smart and willing, with a disposition
amateurs and professionals would equally appreciate.
In addition to his success with his trainer Gigha Steinman, Lexington also helped
two other riders earn their USDF Medals -- he carried one rider earn her
USDF Silver Medal Prix St Georges scores, and carried another rider to earn
her USDF Gold Medal Grand Prix scores, proving his versatility
with both amateurs and professionals.

Lexington as a Sire

Lexington is also proving himself as a sire, siring a record FIVE National Champion
Friesian Sporthorses, a USDF/DSHB two-time Regional Champion (2011 & 2014),
a USDF/DSHB Regional Reserve Champion (2013), a USDF/DSHB Regional
Reserve Champion (2014), multiple USDF/DSHB Regional Qualifiers,
USDF All-Breeds Champions, USDF/DSHB Horse of the Year
Top 10 finishers, Inspection High Score Champions, and foals which are
consistently earning Bronze Elite status when presented at inspection.  Additionally,
Lauderdale ROF currently holds the record for the highest score ever awarded
to a Friesian Sporthorse at inspection, a fantastic 89.1%.
In 2013 Lexington was ranked #10 on the USEF Leading Dressage
Breeding Sires list. (Numerous photos, testimonials, video links, etc can be
seen by clicking the "Offspring Photos" link, below.)

Lexington's Pedigree

Lexington is a uniquely well-bred Friesian Sporthorse.  His sire is the imported
Friesian stallion Baron von Kolderveen, who was the highest ranked Friesian stallion
on the USEF's list of Leading Dressage Sires for 2008.   Baron's sire Reyert
is also the sire of the Grand Prix Friesian Tietse, who was the first Friesian stallion
to be approved based on performance.  Baron's grandsire Reitse was an incredibly
successful sire, and it is common to see his name in the pedigrees of
sport Friesians.  Reitse sired numerous successful dressage Friesians, including an
impressive ten approved stallion sons, including Iron Spring Farm's Grand Prix Friesian
stallion Goffert.  Baron's damsire is Peke, another successful sport
Friesian sire.  Peke was known for passing on his beautiful head and strong
hindquarters, and was the damsire of the Grand Prix Friesian stallion Fire Magic
(who is also famous as "the red Friesian".)  Also noteable is Baron's
great-grandsire Tamme, who is the sire of 5 approved Friesian stallions. 
Tamme is also the sire of the Approved Friesian Sporthorse stallion Nico,
and is the damsire of Iron Spring Farm's FEI level Friesian stallion Ulbert
There are too many successful sport Friesians in Lexington's pedigree to list them
all, but his pedigree is available below.

Lexington is out of a Thoroughbred mare by Denver Kid, and the Thoroughbred side of
his pedigree is full of famous Thoroughbreds and some of the most popular names in
Thoroughbred sporthorse breeding:  Turn-To, Hail to Reason, Northern Dancer,
Native Dancer, My Babu, Sea-Bird, Buckpasser, Nasrullah, Nearco, and Ribot,
to name a few.  These names show up in pedigrees from Theodore O'Connor (Pan Am
Games event horse) to Olympic Bonfire (Anky van Grunsven's Olympic dressage horse)
to Sea Accounts (one of the only Thoroughbred stallions to complete the 100 day test and
earn his lifetime breeding license from the RPSI) and Fappiano (USEF leading
sire of event horses 2002-2006.)

Foal Registration...

All of Lexington's foals are eligible for registration with the FSA (Friesian Sporthorse Association).
Lexington's foals are also eligible for registration with the AWS (American Warmblood
Society), as well as the myriad of Friesian crossbred registries.

This is a great opportunity to breed to one of the best known and most successful
Friesian Sporthorse stallions in the US. 
Only available via frozen semen (proven frozen semen.)

FRIESIAN & FRIESIAN CROSS MARE OWNERS: Thanks to advances in DNA testing, we have learned (2019) Lexington is a dwarfism carrier (N/D). Breeding two carriers has a 25% chance of producing a foal with dwarfism (D/D).Because dwarfism is a Friesian genetic disorder, any Friesians or Friesian Crosses being bred to Lexington must be negative for dwarfism (N/N). The test is simple and uses a hair sample. The test can be done directly thru UC Davis, or thru the Friesian Sporthorse Association. The cost is only $45. http://www.friesiansporthorseassociation.com/FriesianSporthorseDNA.html
