Nasdaq stood at the renowned New Trend Farm in Fort Johnson, New York. He was imported from Germany by John and Judy Miller of New Trend. The Millers were dazzled by Nasdaq's tremendous movement. He is sired by Nastral, the great German stallion. Nastral was National Champion in 1993 and has sired many champions. Nasdaq's dam is Wanja, full sister to Akelei, dam of Amadeus. Sadly, Nasdaq died on August 21, 2006 after suffering from an unknown illness. The entire Haflinger world will miss Nasdaq. His babies seemed to float on air.
