Nico Witte talks about Wynton in The Horse Magazine...
Dutch Dressage Dealer,
Nico Witte spoke with Chris Hector and Roz Neave in an article
in the April 2010 edition of The Horse Magazine about Wynton,
the sire of Ellington.
Nico Witte purchased a half share in Jazz as a foal and
only sold his share a few years ago. Nico is the proud owner
of Wynton.
Below is an extract from the article 'Going Dutch: our in depth
report from the KWPN Stallion Show' on what he had to say about
Wynton.
Who do you think will prove to be the best son of Jazz as a breeding
stallion?
'At this moment it is Wynton. He is a black Jazz out of a Matador mare -
that's the stallion with Kyra Kyrkland, then comes Rubinstein and Welt
As - Welt As is the sire of Bonfire from Anky. I think at the moment he
is the best approved Jazz son in Holland. He was the winner at the
Stallion Show, the winner of the 70 day test, and up to now he won all
the stallion competitions, and in the normal sport, he is scoring 70/71%
in his tests. He is a very talented horse. I have ten yearlings from
Wynton and they are all black and beautiful with unbelievable hindlegs,
and an easy character...we had a prize giving a few months ago and there
were 14 horses on the line, 5000 people started clapping, 13 horses ran
away and Wynton stood like a statue, that is very good especially for a
Jazz.'
