Direct offspring of KWPN showjumping champion Menoor

This talented Raissa van de Beekermark is the very first offspring of the mare Menoor – a mare with a truly modern top sport profile. Menoor won the KWPN Championships for six-year-old showjumpers in 2023 and was subsequently sold for an impressive €250,000 in the Dutch Sport Horse Sales. Under Sanna Backlund she has already proven her qualities at international 1.35m level this year. Menoor herself is a granddaughter of the Grand Prix mare Noor, ridden by Carry Huis in ’t Veld, who produced the international 1.45/1.50m horses Dame Blanche and Hypnotic (formerly Tae Bo). Noor is also a half-sister to Yann Candele’s Grand Prix horse Mustique and thus closely related to the 1.45/1.50m jumping stallion Bustique. Sire Comme Il Faut ranks among the very best stallions in the world, being the sire of, among others, Olympic champion Checker 47.

Raissa is a beautiful, generous-framed mare with a very appealing type and modern look. During our selection she impressed with her jump: quick off the ground, excellent use of the shoulder and with plenty of scope. On top of that she carries an exceptional, high-performance damline, making her extremely interesting for both sport and breeding. She is saddle broken and ready to be produced further. A highly commercial young mare with textbook bloodlines, strong damline and clear potential for the higher levels of the sport.
