Athletic stallion
Brend 413 was bred as Bert-Jan van de Strubbenhof, a son of Brandus 345 Sport Preferent and Meta van de Strubbenhof Ster (Doeke 287), of pedigree 34. His breeder is Dagelet from Schipborg. Brend 413 comes from a sporting stock, and the stallion himself became ZZ-Zwaar in dressage, a remarkable achievement some 16 years ago. In America he was praised for his character and the stallion did good publicity for Friesian horses in dressage with Mary Alice Malone winning several championship titles with the stallion. His qualities as a studbook stallion also lie in his athletic talents.
