Far West competed up to 1.40m as a 7 years old and is fully approved with the Selle Français Stud-Book. Far West's sire is the BWP Ambassador stallion Orlando (Heartbreaker / Darco / Gibramino). In sport, Orlando had great success with riders Dirk Demeerman and Darrah Kerrins which began during his young horse years in Europe.

Far West's dam, Taquine Line, is by the famous Utah van Erpekom.
