At home now in Wellington
We are proud to announce that after much anticipation, on November 3rd, Clingh, son of the famous stallion Lingh, arrived in the USA. He spent the requisite 42 hours in the Miami quarantine facility before being delivered on Friday November 5 to Top O’ the Morning Farm, in Wellington Florida.
Clingh is owned by Winged Foot Stables, LLC.
“Clingh, born in February of 2007, was bred in Holland by Angenita Grande, and stabled under the exquisite care and supervision of John Maarse Stables. Clingh is out of Uguletta, daughter of the well known Digoletta mare, who had a successful career as an eventer. Clingh born jet black, later morphed into a bay colt, and now, taking after his dam, is a beautiful dappled gray. He currently stands at 16.2 hands and is still growing.
Already Clingh has distinguished himself by scoring one of the higher scores in the KWPN Keurring. Up until October, 2010, he was a still a stallion. After much consideration, his handlers in Holland and new owners, decided to geld him and bring him to the United States.
Already at just a bit over 3 ½ years of age, he is quiet, happy, forward and supple under saddle. His trainers, Grand Prix rider, Shannon Dueck and Vera Renstaedt, are going to bring him along at his own pace, hopefully showing him next season in Wellington.
Like his magnificent sire Lingh, Clingh has a light, fluid movement, with a huge over reach and great forward momentum. Aside from his innate talents, what his owners and all who come in contact with him marvel at, is his gentle disposition and intelligence.
Clingh will be spending the winter seasons in Wellington, and summers in the beautiful green countryside of Vermont. We will update you as he progresses in what is sure to be a brilliant career! “
