Iron Spring Farm's UB40 is a modern, long lined, riding type stallion with an abundance of charisma. He has a beautiful head with a large, expressive eye. His neck is long, has good position and is well muscled. The croup slopes nicely. UB40 shows tremendous power in his movement as well as expressive use of the front leg. He is a proud, confident horse. UB40 is hot and puts that energy into his work.

Before being imported in 2005, UB40 was one of the most popular young stallions in Holland . In 2004, he placed third in the Champions' Ring at the KWPN stallion licensing. His first foals received excellent scores and remarks from the judges.

In 2006 UB40 was the Winner of the DG Bar Cup at his keuring with a score of 81.5%. In 2007 he was #1 KWPN-NA FEI 6 year old. Son Cinco de Mayo ISF was named winner of Weanling Colts at Dressage at Devon and Centerline HF was named USDF Horse of the Year, Dressage Sport Horse Breeding for Colts and Geldings. UB40 is nominated to the International Jumper and Dressage Futurity.

He has a pure walk with plenty of reach. He shows very good self carriage and his trot is powerful and expressive while staying balanced. His canter is beautiful and very uphill with reach and balance. It’s very easy for UB40 to extend & collect again. He’s fun to ride and work is easy for this very intelligent, inquisitive and friendly stallion. He is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to produce dressage prospects and improve movement.

UB40’s sire, Olivi, was the Reserve Champion of his Championship Keuring for Dressage horses at the KWPN stallion show in 1998. Olivi is by Jazz, 2006 KWPN Horse of the Year. Currently he competes at Grand Prix under Tineke Bartels. Jazz is by the great Olympic Cocktail, a dressage stallion with exceptional talent, who was competed by Anky van Grunsven at Grand Prix level. He won several Grand Prix, Grand Prix Specials, Musical Kurs and World Cup Qualifiers. Olivi’s dam is Halla Utopia by Aktion. The popular white stallion Aktion is known for his rideability and achieved much success with the Hungarian Gyuala Dallos. UB40s dam is Kilucienne by Michelangelo. She competed through Z2 and is from a mare line having Keur, Preferent and Prestatie predicates awarded.
