Final Dream, NRPS Performance Test Winner, is "One in a Million" to Trio of Owners

Stallion at Stud

Final Dream, the 4-year old stallion that achieved a record score in the 2025 NRPS Stallion Performance Test, is in shared hands of an international owners' trio who describe the bay as a "one in a million" horse.

With a career planned for the big sport, Final Dream is based with Diederik van Silfhout in The Netherlands to manage the horse's future path.

Performance Dam Line

The tall 176 cm standing Final Dream is a 2021 born KWPN stallion by Fontaine out of Kenna NL (by Johnson x Florencio x Painters Row xx). He is bred Ap Flierman in partnership with Team Nijhof.

Originally named Radel NL, the bright bay gelding is out of a proven performance dam line, the Bella-line (mare line 50).

His full sister Perrin NL was named "ster" mare at the mare inspection in Geesteren in 2023, scoring the highest total of 85 points at this inspection. She was invited to the 2023 KWPN Elite Mare Show in Ermelo. The full brother of dam Kenna NL is the AES and KWPN licensed stallion Firestone who is competing in the international youth classes with Johana Vasaryova (CZE).

With Diederik at the NRPS Performance Test

Owned by Dutch duo Diederik van Silfhout and Paul Jansen in partnership with Anna Polera's company SportWarmbloods, Final Dream was invited to the 2024-2025 NRPS Stallion Performance test after a successful home licensing in April 2024.

The licensing committee at the time stated that Final Dream is an "appealing, youthful stallion with a beautiful type and lovely temperament. He walks with much power and in trot his self carriage and incredibly strong and good hindleg stand out." He scored 85 points for his gaits and 80 for conformation.

High Scorer of the 2025 NRPS Performance Test

Under the careful training of former Dutch team rider Diederik van Silfhout, Final Dream began his first training as a dressage horse in preparation of the NRPS Stallion Performance Test.

He concluded the test as the winner with the highest score of 93 points. Final Dream earned 9 for walk and trot, 9.5 for canter, self carriage, willingness to work and potential as a dressage horse. In addition he got a 10 for his rideability.

The testing committee stated that Final Dream is a "very appealing stallion who stands out with his attitude, rideability and ability to collected and extend. Final Dream showed a very consistent and strong performance in which he displayed his good attitude and qualities time and again. Final Dream gives a very constant image, makes smooth transitions, and shows a lot of talent to collect."

The committee praised the horse's high quality basic gaits. "The walk is diligent, with good ground cover, lots of
body use, and clear in the four-beat rhythm. In trot Final Dream has a very nice leg technique with a lot of self carriage and a very strong use of the hind leg. The canter has a very nice, uphill silhouette, has very much power, and a very good uphill jump."

"One In a Million"

Final Dream will remain in training with Diederik van Silfhout as he will be prepared for a career in sport. He will be offered to the breeders upon request.

Co-owner Anna Polera is thrilled to have such a talented high performance hopeful in her string of horses at SportWarmbloods.

"We purchased him last year before he was under saddle," said Polera. "When we saw the horse we knew directly that he is a one-in-a million when it comes to quality and character. You couldn’t miss that he is an outstanding horse. He's a very complete horse in movement, character and conformation."

Final Dream's sport career will have priority over breeding, but he will stand at stud in 2025.

"Diederik will compete him and we have plans for big sport," Anna smiled.
