Tjalbert 460

Tjalbert 460 is one of Iron Spring Farm’s most popular stallions. He has great conformation, outstanding movement and a sweet personality. He earned good scores and dressage championships in the Netherlands while demonstrating an incredible work ethic and love for his job. His victories included a championship at the Friesian Indoor Dressage Championships.

Tjalbert has a powerful walk with nice reach, a balanced and supple trot, and an uphill canter. His elastic gaits, sound mind and superb conformation make him an ideal stallion. He also has good legs and large hooves—qualities he passes on to his offspring. 

Proven Sport Bloodlines

Tjalbert descends from Beart 411, Sport /Pref and Jasper 366, Sport/Pref, a line known for exceptional movement and jet black coats. Tjalbert’s dam, Grevinne fan Lutke Peinjum, Star/Pref./Prest./Crown Jewel, is from stam line 50. This line features many Star and Preferent mares. Tjalbert is free from Wessel bloodlines and therefore is a valuable asset to many breeding programs.
