Ahorn's grand sire Farn, was discovered On a misty morning, 1st November 1962, a NWP committee visited the performance test in Westercelle, Germany. 

There was a 3 ½ year old Holstein stallion that met their approval, called Farn. 

They hoped that Farn, would sire fine daughters, broodmares that would help upgrade Dutch breeding. 

Farn was the sire of many fine filly’s/mares, but also he sired sons & descendants that would continue the Farn dynasty, as well as provide the sport, show jumping in particular, with a large number of potential athletes. He added his Arabian influence to improve Dutch Breeding. Farn's history runs parallel to the history of the beginning of Dutch riding horse breeding. In the early sixties one had begun to transform the heavy agricultural horse into a type with more riding-horse qualities.
