In addition, Valegro was European Champion, World Cup winner, World Champion, holder of the World Record in the Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and the Grand Prix Freestyle, 2014 KWPN Horse of the Year and has had a very succesfull dressage career.

Negro was winner of the Dutch stallion competition in 2000. In 2001 he competed at the World Championships in Verden, Germany and was the best 6-year-old Dutch horse.  He has successfully completed in small tour level and of his four starts, he won three times.  At his first start, he won convincingly with a score of 72.50%, a super debut, showing his unparalleled dressage talent.  In 2012 Negro was awarded "Preferent" by the KWPN.

Sire, Ferro is a top-class breeding stallion that competed at all the international Championships for the Dutch dressage Team. Negro's dam descends from a top dam line, combining the international stallions "Variant" and "Gondelier (keur)" with the top mares Fewrie (preferent, IBOP AA 92) and Mewrie, (keur, preferent, prestatie, sport) and Geerie (ster, preferent, prestatie) who stand for sport, model, strength and great quality.
