Breeding advice

FOR FEELING combines strength, suppleness, balance, incredible movement and good jumping sense in addition to his natural willingness to perform well. Bringing bone, body length and a well-set neck to the party, he better suits compact and blood-typed mares.

Offspring

Most of FOR FEELING’s offspring were born in Scandinavia. Among his best products:
- FIBONACCI 17, 2015 European Team Silver and individual 8th in Aachen and 2016 Olympic Team Bronze in Rio with M. MICHAEALS BEERBAUM
- FIDJI ISLAND, 5*GP winner with K. OFFEL
- CANDY FLIP, CSI 4* for Sweden
- FOR FEELING STAR, CSI 3* for Lithuania
- FLORIDA LADY IXES, CSI 3*, European Children Championships
- KATERINA, placed in CSI YH for Hungary
- BUSHWACKER, Lanaken 5yo World Championships in 2018
 

Unsurprisingly, he inherited excellent movement from his dam line and is therefore also a very valuable dressage sire. He notably produced FOR MY LOVE, StG/Int 1 winner and placed at international 3*level.
