Tuxedo ISF is an attractive 2023 KWPN-NA reg. Dutch warmblood gelding sired by Cum Laude and out of the accomplished Elite/Sport mare Ballerina Ceroon, by Oscar. Tuxedo was awarded First Premium, Champion Foal, and High Score of the Day at his KWPN-NA keuring and ended the year by being named Reserve Champion Dressage Foal for the 2023 KWPN-NA keuring tour. At Dressage at Devon 2023, he won the Colts of Current Year class, was Reserve Champion Foal, and Champion of the East Coast USDF Current Year Foal Final. He also won the KWPN IBC class against all ages with an 83.950%! Tuxedo has good looks, correct gaits with nice balance and suspension, and currently measures at 15.3H (expected to finish around 16.1H).

Tuxedo has been introduced to lunging and wearing tack and should be a fun horse for an Amateur or Professional to start in a regular program this Spring. He is good to work around in the barn with a solid understanding of clipping, bathing, and regular veterinary and farrier work. Located and available to be seen in Coatesville, PA, radiographs available.

Sire Cum Laude, a son of the international Grand Prix horse Apache, Preferent, is now making a name for himself as a top breeding stallion in North America after enjoying success in the performance rings of Europe. Under Vai Bruntink, Cum Laude was developed through the young horse classes up to the CDI3* level, including winning his CDI small tour debut at the World Championships for Young Horses with a 71.618% in the Prix St. Georges. The Cum Laude offspring have been well received at their keurings, with several Elite daughters and First Premium foals to his credit, as well as the son No Worries SL being selected for the second-round viewing of the KWPN stallion show. Cum Laude passes on his very good type, workmanlike attitude and top gaits under saddle.

Dam Ballerina Ceroon, a full sister to the approved KWPN stallion Uphill, is from the distinguished Family van Norel breeding program in Holland. She finished a very strong IBOP as a three-year-old in 2009 with an overall 85.5% and subsequently competed up to the Z2 Level (Third/Fourth Level) in Europe. Ballerina reached the half finals of the PAVO Cup in 2010 and 2011 and also placed 5th at the National Mare Show in Ermelo. Ballerina has produced numerous First Premium foals, breed show winners, and top riding horses for the ISF breeding program.
