Lauderdale ROF is a lovely Friesian Sporthorse colt, foaled April 22nd, 2009.

Lauderdale ROF's sire is the Elite Book Friesian Sporthorse stallion Lexington. Lexington has been highly successful, proving himself as a dressage horse, with numerous year-end awards, and being featured in an article about Friesian Sporthorses. He is also one of the only Friesian Sporthorse stallions in the US to be fully Approved for Breeding.

Lauderdale ROF's dam is the Friesian Sporthorse mare Koloa. Koloa is by the imported Friesian stallion Pieter fan Lutke Peinjum, who is the sire of numerous successful Friesian Sporthorses, including the 2006 FSH Horse of the Year.

Lauderdale is a lovely colt. He has good conformation, strong hindquarters, good bone, a lovely neck, and three nice gaits which even at this young age demonstrate power and natural balance. We expect Lauderdale would be especially talented as a dressage horse, like his sire. He also has a friendly, curious attitude, and seems to be very level-headed.

Lauderdale ROF is a full brother to Lennox ROF, who was also bred by us. Lennox was foaled in 2007, and was sold even before he was weaned. He was purchased as an FEI dressage prospect. We were so happy with Lennox that we actually repeated the breeding in hopes of a filly to add to our small broodmare herd, but although we got the quality we were aiming for, we got it in the form of another colt!

We expect Lauderdale to mature around 16.1+ hands. His sire is 16 hands, and his dam is 16.1 hands, and while all logic would have him maturing around 16.1, his full brother Lennox already looks like he is going to be taller than that estimate by at least an inch or two, based on reports we've gotten from his owner. We also expect Lauderdale to be black, since both of his parents are homozygous black. His odd coloring now is not unusual for true black foals.

Lauderdale ROF is registered with the Friesian Sporthorse Association (FSA.)

Price negotiable to the right person/situation, we would especially like to see this

lovely colt go to a show home.
