Malaysia

The international Grand Prix horse Fredensdals Fountain has been sold to Malaysia as a schoolmaster and 2026 Asian Games hopeful.

Fredendals Fountain is a 15-year old Danish warmblood gelding by Furstenball out of Gioia (by Stedinger x Michelangelo). He is bred by Linda Falensteen and Martin Strange

Licensed Stallion

Under the care of Michael Sogaard and Kristian Wold, the grey was licensed as a stallion at the 2013 Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in Herning. He passed the 10-day observation test but not the 35-day test and lost his licensed status.

He briefly stood up for stud but was gelded to be focused on sport. His most successful offspring in sport is Michael Sogaard's small tour horse Lord Fountain (out of a Gribaldi dam).
