Necessity was born in 1995. "Tessa" was presented, approved and branded KWPN as a four year old and started her career as a jumper. She is by the direct son of Ramiro Z, Rolando. Rolando is a full brother to KWPN approved stallion, Armstrong, who won the jumping test of his stallion inspection in Holland and Rolondo is a 3/4 brother to the late Zeoliet, a premiere sire of both dressage and jumping horses. Necessity's paternal grandmother is Terma, a keur preferent prestatie mare, one of the world's elite mares. Necessity is out of our foundation KWPN mare, Ursula who competed until age 14 at the Grand Prix level in jumping.
Tessa passed away on a sunny day in Feb. 2011. She is buried on our farm next to her dam, Ursula.
