From Willem van Nassau's breeder: Arnold Wemmenhove, Netherlands:
In our family we have always bred KWPN horses, breeding for dressage, and also breeding for jumping. In our latter years, we have been a breeding farm for Friesian horses and not been so engaged in breeding Dutch Warmbloods. During the riding of our Friesian stallion, I saw more and more that I wanted to represent not just the pleasure horse, but the dressage horse, the Friesian especially suitable with their willing personalities. I have researched over and over bloodlines of successful production. Thus I found within very many Northern KWPN mare lines between 1880 -1925, some Friesian Stallions used them. It was the basis to lay ground work with the present KWPN breeding farms and whose bloodlines have major success. Thus I concluded to go back and and interbreed.

Whenever you crossbreed, you can lose the pretty black color, charisma, hair and feathering of the Friesian horse. Thus I concluded the final product was UNIQUE-- black or Black & white-Pinto. I wanted to work with pinto with sport genes, line 007. This was the motherline with the unique approved Black & White KWPN stallion Samber , sire with great approved stallions worldwide. I then spoke with the breeder of SAMBER (the Family Smilda) and who had on their farm, a black and white pinto mare, straight out of the line with TINA D, the mother of SAMBER. I bought this Pinto mare PEPPER. Willem is 50% Friesian and he has also 22% English thoroughbred within his blood. This hot blood is directly desired for achievement and sternness. The Arab Friesian contains Arabian blood only, I have been convinced to remain with the English thoroughbred for the future, since Olympic horses have not shown much success with Arabian blood horses. The thoroughbred winning achievements is being sought after. The present day KWPN sport horse breeding farms is being crossed with many thoroughbreds.
