Sport and Genetics in Balance

A stunning filly by none other than the “one to watch” in the WBFSH ranking, Eldorado van de Zeshoek. This impressive Clinton son not only shone in sport himself, but more importantly, left an indelible mark on modern breeding. His offspring include international stars such as Killer Queen, Grand Prix Aachen winner, and Highway TN, Rolex Grand Prix winner in Den Bosch with Willem Greve.

Everything starts with a solid foundation – and that is exactly what Essentiel offers: the key qualities every modern sport horse requires.

On the dam’s side, we find Diabeau by Hidalgo, a full sister to the 1m60 jumper Impresario van de Heffinck. Another close relative, half-sister Jaylo van ’t Oosteindeken, competed successfully up to 1m45 with French rider Hervé Monta. The younger siblings from this line, including Celebrity, Konventina van ’t Ooievaarsnest, and Rolex by Hidalgo, are already showing promise for the future.

Further up the damline, the strength of the pedigree becomes even more evident. Highlights include Cluysenaer PNI, the BWP-approved stallion who reached 1m60 level with Harrie Smolders, as well as Echo van het Neerenbosch, another BWP-approved stallion, alongside his half-siblings Jappeloupe van het Neerenbosch and Okidoki van de Renthoeve. Jappeloupe competed at the very top of the sport, while Okidoki performed at 1m45 level under Brazilian colors.

With such a powerful blend of proven genetics and international sport performance, Essentiel represents a rare opportunity for breeders and riders alike.
