FPZV Elite Preferent Stallion
(Naen 264 x Anne 5638 Star)

Aswyn van de Pluum was foaled in the Netherlands on May 10, 1981. From there he was exported to Germany where he was registered and approved as a breeding stallion in 1987 by a joint KFPS Dutch and FPZV German Approval Committee after he completed and passed the 50-day Stallion Performance Test.

He was the Stallion Performance Test Champion in 1987. Aswyn van de Pluum holds the distinction of being the only jointly approved KFPS & FPZV Friesian breeding stallion in the history of both Dutch & German registries. Aswyn has a record of over 165 duly registered, premium offspring (KFPS + FPZV).

In 1989, Aswyn sired the FPZV Champion Friesian Colt and Filly in Germany and continued his success as a breeding sire in 1993, 1994, 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2008 by siring the FPZV Champion Friesian Colt in North America.
Two of his get, in October of 1997, successfully completed the 50-day Stallion Performance Test (conformation, performance, and temperament) for approval as breeding stallions. Son “Foster v.V.” achieved his approval here in the US and his son “Woodstock” in Germany.
Years 2000, 2001 and 2003, found three of his sons passing the “Stallion Keuring” for approval, and two 3 year old Aswyn daughters received ‘Prel. Star’ status.

And in January 2002, Aswyn’s 7 year old daughter ‘Josephine de Mona’ passed the MPT and received the prestigious title ‘Model Mare.’
Aswyn’s sons ‘Van de Pluum’ and ‘Romeo de Rosa’ completed and successfully passed the 50-day Stallion Performance Test in March 2003 for approval as breeding stallions. And in 2004, WEF’s own ‘Wyn de Pluum v.V.’ received approved Stallion status. Also in 2004, two of Aswyn’s daughters received Star status.

As of today, Aswyn van de Pluum has sired five FPZV approved breeding Stallions! Rightfully, he was awarded the prestigious ‘Preferent Stallion’ status in March 2003 and was entered into the ‘Elite’ Stallion book. He has also received the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for his outstanding Progeny Record.

In September 2009, we lost our beloved Aswyn to old age.  He was 28 1/2 years old and had lived to be the oldest Friesian on record.  Aswyn van de Pluum’s contribution to the Friesian breed has been one of tremendous influence and we have been so very proud to have had him as the honorable patriarch of WEF.   But more importantly, he was our loyal and loving friend who will be remembered in our hearts forever.

We have frozen semen on Aswyn and plan on utilizing it in the future to continue his long-standing tradition of siring the best of the best in Friesian foals.
