With the approval of Norton VDL and Nebraska VDL, the ‘Keur’ awarded stallion Baltic VDL now has four sons approved by the KWPN.
The charming grey Norton VDL was chosen as one of the premium stallions at the KWPN Stallion Show and stood out for his excellent jumping technique and great conformation. In the KWPN Performance Test the Corland grandson caught the eye again and was approved with 81 points.

Norton VDL's sire Baltic VDL himself jumped at Grand Prix level with Jur Vrieling and James Billington and secured many international victories. In breeding he earned the ‘Keur’ predicate at an early age and offspring like Leonie Jei (Martin Fuchs), Floyo VDL (Richard Vogel), Farona (Daniel Coyle), Foot Loose MFS (Pedro Junquiera Muylaert) and Gerardo-E (Guido Grimaldi) are performing at the highest level.

Norton's dam Wyrusa H already proved herself in breeding; she produced the 1.40m showjumpers Cyruso and Jiwyrusa H and also the international 1.60m showjumper Cat Ninja - successful with Andrew Kocher and now Jacqueline Steffens.

Via top sires Corland and Indoctro the pedigree of Norton VDL goes back to the Nimmerdor-daughter Irusa. She produced, among others, the KWPN approved stallion Wittinger VDL, who ridden by Amanda Flint is still very successful in the United States. Furthermore,

Norton VDL is closely related to Grand Prix showjumpers like Davarusa (Petronella Andersson), Kimber (Darren Finkelman), HBF Delmar (James Smith), Chandelier (Brahim Aadnan), Saruso H (Wouter Devos) and Taruso H (Jennifer Pedersen).
