It is with great sadness that we heard this evening, December 5th, 2012, of the passing of approved stallion Leffert 306 Preferent (Tame 276 x Oepke 266).

The 26 year old stallion was renowned for his influence on the Friesian breed, siring 5 approved sons, 12 approved grandsons and 3 approved great-grandsons. He was particularly known for passing on his dressage talent, classic Friesian type, and beautiful front end. Leffert himself was accomplished in dressage and was awarded the Sport predicate, as well as achieving the prestigious Preferent title in 2005 for his considerable genetic contribution to the breed. He was twice crowned champion of the Stallion Show in Leewarden, and was honored last year for his 25th birthday.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Leffert’s lifetime owner Marcus Doller. He will be greatly missed.
