Excerpt: https://www.horsemagazine.com/thm/2014/10/gribaldi/Dutch stallion owners Mr de Jong and Joop van Uytert purchased Gribaldi after he had been proclaimed champion at the 1995 Trakehner Licensing in Neumünster. Standing in Holland, Gribaldi was approved for the KWPN, Oldenburg and the Danish Warmblood society. He benefitted from a massive and glossy advertising and publicity campaign – although his progeny were also doing a pretty good job of promoting him at the same time with many of them starring in young horse classes.Gribaldi was also doing his bit, at the age of four he won the stallion class in s’Hertogenbosch and took reserve champion honours in the Pavo Cup for four-year-old dressage horses. Later he was competing at Grand Prix level with Edward Gal with considerable success. The combination won the 2004 Zwolle International Stallion Show Kür with 73.70% and the Kür at the CHIO Rotterdam.Gribaldi was proclaimed Elite Stallion by the Trakehner society in 2003 and in 2005, based on the performance of his 6- and 7-year old offspring, the KWPN decided to proclaim Gribaldi a Keur Stallion. In order to become a KWPN Keur stallion, a sire has to have a sport index of more than 140 points with a reliability of 75%, and has to be passing superior conformation on to the offspring. In 2008 Gribaldi was proclaimed Trakehner stallion of the year.
