The 26 year old Keur stallion Ulft (Le Mexico keur x Pia keur pref. (Pericles xx pref. x Waldo)) passed away 25/01/05

The stallion was bred by B. Huirne from Groenlo (NL.) Ulft was the sire of, amongst others, the international dressage horses Blue Horse Utopia, Caesar, Disney 032, Intervet Baltimore, Gullit and naturally the world-famous stallion Olympic Ferro. Besides Ferro, Ulft was the sire of the approved stallions Boston, Conveyer, Dublin, Dukaat, Fairplay and was the sire's sire of Juventus. He was also the sire of Habibi, the horse ridden in 1998 by Marlies van Baalen to the European Juniors Championship.

To a somewhat lesser extent Ulft also contributed to jumper breeding. The full brothers Groetz (under Eric van der Vleuten) and Hyppophae (George Remmen) were bred out of Renata la Silla. Hyppophae (now known as Fine Line) competes at Grand Prix with Jonathan Millar.

For the last 11 years Ulft has stood at the farm of Agnes Dalemans. Over the last few years Ulft has enjoyed his retirement.
