"Windstar" was imported into the United States from Holland by Genesis Farm in December of 2007.
Windstar is sired by the Dutch Selection Champion, Windspiel. Windspiel is not only a champion horse himself but is known throughout Holland as a producer of champions. His offspring top shows throughout the country. Windstar’s dam, ‘Maira Van de Wortel’, has been judged Youth Champion in Holland among other selection titles. She is sired by the famous stallion ‘Amsterdam’, who was World Reserve Champion Stallion, who in turn was sired by the great renown stallion, ‘Amadeus’, the World Champion. Maira Van de Wortel’s dam, ‘Mira Van de Wortel’, was a National Champion in Holland and also is a STER mare in Holland (which is a special title only given to mares who produce a certain number of high classified offspring).
Windstar was judged 1-A as a weanling, being named Champion Foal at the first and only show that he attended in Holland.
Windstar’s first show here in the United States was the AHR National Futurity in Danville, Indiana. At the AHR National Futurity, Windstar won 1st place in the 2-year-old stallion division and went on to be named the Reserve Champion 2-year-old. At the Stallion Liberty that same week, Windstar showcased his explosive movement and animation. Windstar will be attending the GLHA Futurity later this fall and we look forward to his placement at this show.
With powerful movement, exceptional type and correctnesss, packaged into a world-class pedigree, we look forward to what Windstar has to offer as a future herd sire standing at Genesis Farm.
Windstar will be available to a limited number of outside mares in 2009. He will join our stallion line-up with Arno van het Nieshof and Alfa of Genesis. We anticipate that this young stallion will make a name for himself and leave his mark on the haflinger breed, just as his stable-mates Arno and Alfa have. Please contact Genesis Farm as early as possible for breeding contract details.
