Ferro is like Volatis said not the halfbrother of your mare. Only when they come out of the same dam. You can find "Man o War" in every pedigree where Pericles is in and that's a lot. Your mare is the dam of the AES licensed stallion Unison R by Democraat.

Ulft was indeed a good stallion.
I have some information about him for you.

Performance 1981
He was in good condition upon arrival and remained that way throughout the test. Good humored, friendly stallion. He is impertinent, obedient and especially attentive. He is honest and happy and sometimes headstrong. He is very supple and has much power. Even though he is headstrong he is fun to ride. He remains nicely collected in all three gaits. He did not want to work very hard in the beginning of the test and had a difficult mouth at that time. The walk is strong, big, elastic and regular. The trot has good suspension. The canter is brilliant with a lot of balance and regularity. He jumps well; he has a lot of technique and good scope. He should put more effort into jumping. Sometimes he tenses during the jumping, which in turn makes for a tense jump. In the cross-country he collects himself, the gallop stays too round. He works more on the basis of his power than on suppleness. He is good in front of the sled. He really enjoys the work. His ears are playful, he really likes to go. He is very willing to work and it is easy for him. He has very much talent for dressage, much talent for jumping and more than sufficient talent for cross-country. He is rather busy in his stall. Sometimes he puts his front feet in his feed trough.

Foal report
Offspring 1983 (foals)
This stallion showed a collection of very well developed foals with strong rumps. The foals appear to be good riding type, the selected foals more so. In general they are the picture of breeding horses. The foals out of mares with thoroughbred blood are a little more refined. The head is well formed, hard and lean, sometimes a little long. The neck has a good topline and also has good shape and shows a nice, long poll. The wither has sufficient length but is not totally developed. The shoulder length and placement are good with a good connection to the rump. The back is sometimes a bit long but otherwise shows good connections; the loins are also well connected. The croup is long, wide and muscled with a long hamstring. The picked foals could have a wider croup. The build and stance of the foreleg are good with a developed knee. The hindleg is often a little long and cow hocked. The hock could be finished more tightly. The quality of the legs could be a little more appealing in general, meaning they could be a little leaner. The walk is more than good, easy and scopey with a hindquarter than comes underneath well. The trot is very good with a hindquarter that comes underneath well and a lot of balance.
Shown: 23 foals out of 104 breedings.

Approval term 1990
First approved for a term of three years on the basis of:
a. the approval of 6 stallions, of which 4 still service the breeding program;
b. the fact, as determined by the keuring reports, that the stallion has a positive influence on conformation of his offspring: 174 studbook mares of which 77 became ster and 13 keur
c. the fact, as determined by linear scoring, that the stallion has a positive influence on the trot of his offspring
d. the fact, as determined by the index, that the offspring can perform well in dressage, witness the 121 points with an already reasonably good reliability.

Keur 1995
With high reliability (both 91%) this stallion scored 110 pints for jumping and 122 points for dressage. That fact, combined with the observation that he has produced six approved sons as well as a high percentage of star and keur mares, was the deciding factor for the keur predicate. An important contribution was the fact that the stallion has at least four offspring at Grand Prix level and three right under that level. Moreover he has two international jumpers under his auspices. He scores high as a conformation sire in regards to scope and suppleness.
 
As a progenator he has become known , or rather the bloodline has become known to be powerful and he is one of the highest ranked breeding stallions on the KWPN breding index for both dressage and jumping stallions.
Saying that the Ulft line is a talent at jumping but can be very querky. They are a little on the spooky side and will not forgive mistakes and a lot of the Ferro's take some riding!!
i have 3 generations of Ferro a son [graded shb and champion of his grading] , grandson line bred,Osmium xnegro] and great grandson colt, by Special D]. i like them but the Ulft in them is attributed with their 'sharpness' and sometimes interesting ways!!!!
 
Thats odd because i had an old horse when living in holland a few years ago by farn and he was really cool and so was his full brother'
and he is another horse with huge influence in breeding as well as having a very high index.
It does just go to prove that opinions are just that... opinions!!
I was told it was the Ulft line that had the problem as he was a talented jumper but spooky and inconsistent and this followed largley with the young stock.
Not unlike Pilot in the German book, no doupt of his jumping influence but not the easiest in terms of temperatment.
