Australian businessman Clyde Wunderwald acquired the Westfalian licensed stallion Lord of Loxley (by Lord Sinclair x Landadel) for Australian Grand Prix rider Brett Parbery. The bay stallion will be Parbery's hope for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Last week Parbery competed Victory Salute in the 2010 World Cup Finals in 's Hertogenbosch and the Australian will be in Europe until the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky. The former rodeo rider is staying at Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud's equestrian facility in Harskamp, The Netherlands.
Wunderwald owns many talented dressage horses which are competed by various Australian dressage riders. He discovered Rozzie Ryan's Donna Carrera, Le Beau and Weltman and he used to own Heath Ryan's Olympic horse Greenoaks Dundee (which sold to Bernd Schopf in Germany).
Lord of Loxley was the reserve Westfalian licensing champion in 2002. Under Heiner Schiergen he finished fourth at the 2005 Bundeschampionate. Lord of Loxley will stand at stud at De Ijzeren Man in Weert, The Netherlands, during the 2010 breeding season.
Adri Gordijn, owner of the De Ijzeren Man, also sold his licensed stallion Leonardo da Vinci. The 7-year old dark bay Lauries Crusador xx x Davignon x Don Juan was purchased by Kim Whitelegg from Auckland, New Zealand.
