The eye-catching black stallion, Jayson, offers a pedigree filled with top performers that will catch any dressage breeder’s attention. His sire, Johnson, had an impressive career including the World Equestrian Games, Olympics and European championships. As a sire, Johnson is proving equally impressive and currently is No. 1 in the world on the WBFSH Dressage Sire rankings, ahead of his sire, the influential stallion, Jazz, who has ranked in the top five of the WBFSH Dressage Sire rankings for more than 10 years. Jayson’s dam, Zamora B, has already produced two approved sons and an Elite and Ster daughter. Zamora’s oldest offspring, Esperanto, successfully moved up to Grand Prix in 2023, after winning the USDF Region 1 finals at Intermediare I in 2021. Zamora’s sire is the revered stallion, Negro. An impressive FEI competitor himself, he has an incredible record for siring Grand Prix horses, including Olympic and World Cup champion, Valegro, and two-time World Young Horse champion, Kjento. Jayson convincingly won his NRPS Stallion Performance Test and went on to complete the KWPN Short-Term Performance Test, earning multiple scores of 8.0 or above and 9.0s for rideability and attitude. Jayson placed sixth in the PAVO Cup Finals in 2018 and 11th in 2019. He was also an alternate for the WBFSH Young Horse Championships. The KWPN recommends Jayson to breeders looking to add size, rideability and impulsion to the gaits. The performance careers of his offspring will be exciting to follow in the coming years.
