Top All-Round Dressage and Sport Pony | New Forest D-Mare (Z1, Ster, Provisional Kroon)

Our "Once in a Lifetime" New Forest D-pony Proud Princess. After 6 unforgettable and extremely successful years – with a recent highlight being a brilliant 5th place at the Dutch Championship (NK Hippiade M2 with 67,833%) – it is time for our rider to move on to horses. We are therefore looking for a fantastic new 5-star home for this exceptional top mare.

Passport Name: KTC’s Proud

Sport Name: Proud Princess

Pedigree: s. Reecamp’s Eclips x d.s. Molenaar’s Golden King (Dam: KCT’s Celesta, Preferent, Prestatie)

Born: 21-03-2016 (10 years old)

Height at Withers: D-pony (1,43m)

Sport Career & Championship Titles

Proud has been fully trained by ourselves from green under saddle to an established Z1 dressage level. This has always been done under weekly professional guidance, giving her a very correct, honest, and dressage-oriented foundation.

• NK Hippiade 2026: 5th place M2/DE at the Dutch Championship in Ermelo.

• Championship Titles: Multiple Brabant Champion and Dutch Champion at the Hippiade (teams of four). Recently finished 3rd individually at the Brabant Championships in the M2 class!

• Individual Success: 4x District Champion of District de Baronie and multiple times delegated to the Brabant Championships (B, L1, L2, M1, M2).

• Show Experience: She shone twice in a show at Horse Event and gave a demo performance at Camping Breehees. Unfamiliar terrain, large crowds, atmosphere, or applause? She loves it!

All-Round Talent with Jumping Potential

Although her focus was on dressage, she is a true all-rounder. She easily and happily pops over a fence (0.80m - 1.00m). She has never been officially shown in jumping and has always jumped recreationally, but she definitely has the aptitude, attitude, and a good jumping pedigree for it.

Predicates & Exclusive Breeding Value

Proud is entered in the studbook with the Ster predicate and was sworn in as Provisional Kroon at the Central Mare Inspection.

• The Performance Pony predicate can be applied for immediately.

• On the way to definitive Kroon: After achieving 5 win points in the Z1, she directly acquires the prestigious Kroon predicate. We currently intend to achieve these Z1 points ourselves before she is transferred.

• Top Dam Line: Daughter of the well-known mare KCT’s Celesta (Preferent, Prestatie) and half-sister of the NNFPS-approved breeding stallion KCT’s Rico. This also makes her interesting for breeding.

Character & Care

• Personality: Proud is an exceptionally sweet, affectionate, and very easy pony. She is incredibly calm to handle, and under saddle, practically anyone can just hop on and ride away. Of course, she remains a mare, so she occasionally has a little "mareish" moment, but she always remains very controllable in this. An absolute darling of a pony; you can't really explain this, you have to come and experience it yourself!

• Health: She is unshod and is a "hardy", healthy pony who has never been lame a single day or had a medical procedure. Vaccinated annually (semi-annually for Rhino) and well-behaved with the farrier, dentist, clipping, and on the trailer.

• Particularity: Recent blood work has established an increased sensitivity to mites. When you ensure the right basic management (such as good stable hygiene and targeted care), you never notice this in practice, and it never hinders her sports performance.

Practical Information

• Including: Her trusted saddle, bridle with bit, blankets, and all other accessories.

• Exams: All pre-purchase exams allowed (buyer's costs).

Match & Guidance

Because a perfect 5-star home and the right click come first for us, we offer serious interested parties all space and time. You are most welcome to come trial ride multiple times and get to know Proud extensively, so that both parties are 100% convinced this is the right choice.

We also happily remain involved after a potential purchase: if there is a need, we happily offer the new rider guidance and support during the start-up phase. Of course entirely without obligation and without further commitments, purely to ensure a fantastic and flying start for this new combination!

We would prefer Proud to go to a young rider of about 10 years old with some experience, so that she has a reliable buddy again for a number of years to build a bond with.

Price

Proud falls into the normal price range for a pony of this age, level, and experience. A good match and a 5-star place are most important to us.

Traders, riding schools, and bargain hunters do not need to apply; we are offering a well-trained sport pony with proven achievements for someone who really wants to progress in the sport.

Are you the rider who wants to celebrate new successes with this proven champion? Feel free to contact us without obligation.
