Gorgeous, elegant Fantastic moving 2008 reg. KWPN colt by Goodtimes (Nimmerdor-Caletto I-Wahnfried.) with all European pedigree. Superb front end. Dutch Times is super athletic w/ 3 great gaits. Full sibling to 2 premium foals. Dam is by Michellino (Michelangelo) and has 1/2 brother competing in INT'L dressage in Switzerland. Top show horse prospect that moves well enough for upper level dressage & is bred to jump too!

Photos below of Dutch at his new home in New Jersey, and a hilarious story that illustrates the personality of the Alino Queen x Goodtimes foals...

<<Hi Lauren, Dutch is doing really great! He has grown so much. I will try to get some whole body pictures now that the weather is better. He has relaxed alot and is so friendly. Every time I arrive and he sees me he comes right on over. He actually does this for anybody. Kind of nice that I do not have to schlep through the mud to get him. He is very people oriented. He loves kids. The kids usually pick out the pasture but he is constantly cantering behind them and knocking over their wheelbarrow. I had to stop that because he is way too BIG! He loves to be groomed, picks his feet up decently, let's me clean his sheath when he is in the mood and he actually ties! That is pretty darn good. He can still be a pickle about the spray but I continue to be a nag about it. I have a funny story about Dutch. We have some wild turkeys that come into the pasture on a daily basis. Dutch hides and waits for them to get further into the field. And then he explodes full tilt at the turkeys. You see turkeys flying and freaking out everywhere. It is absolutely hilarious. But what is more amazing is how he waits and plans his attack. This horse is so bold. The other story about Dutch is that one day I worked on leading him in the round pen. The other horses were out in the field. After leading him around the round pen I decided to turn him out in it. It is a fairly large round pen and stands about 5.5 feet high. After I stepped out of the pen he decided he did not want to be alone and I could see him sizing up the fence. The bugger took a good try and actually got his front end over it but did not get the hind end over. When I stepped back in the pen he very calmly walked out with me. I think the bugger is going to be quite the jumper. I have never in my life seen a horse this age analyze the fence and actually attempt it. I have seen the smaller pasture fences but this pen is high! Hope all is well with you. Tell me do they allow auditors at the stallion testing. If they do give me the details I might be interested in coming to see?? Christina
