DEJA BLUE B’s sire Ferro was known as the ‘Black Pearl’ of the KWPN. He won team Silver at the 1998 World Equestrian Games, 1999 European Championships and the 2000 Olympic Games. Ferro and rider Coby van Baalen posted a personal best of 80+% in their kür to earn a Silver Medal at the World Cup Finals in ‘s Hertogenbosch behind Anky Van Grunsven and Bonfire. To date, Ferro has sired 10 licensed sons, including Metall, Kennedy, Rhodium, Lorenzo and Hilltop Rousseau, Silver Medalist at the FEI Young Dressage Horse Championships.  Ferro’s sire Ulft descends from the same sire line that produced Furioso II and his dam, Brenda, was by Farn who sired KWPN Stallion of the Century, Nimmerdor.

DEJA BLUE B’s dam Song Sung Blue B has already produced two BWP licensed stallions—Deja Blue B and Blue Bayou B (by Simsalabim) and a Premium, performance tested daughter Apollonia B. • Song Sung Blue B’s sire Branco was the first stallion in the U.S. to be fully licensed as a Belgian Warmblood breeding stallion. Recently deceased, Branco was a grandson of the legendary jumper sire Ramiro (aka G Ramiro Z), considered the most influential jumper sire of the last 50 years and sire of Olympic Medalists Ratina Z, Royal Kaliber, etc. and countless other international competitors and licensed sons including Rebel I & II Z, Robin I & II Z, Ronald, Raphael, Damiro, Ramino, Armstrong, Zeoliet, etc.
