Sire

Senator VDL

Senator VDL was bred at the world famous VDL Stud in Holland. On both sides of his family, he has very potent jumping blood: Corland, Cor de la Bryere, Landgraf, Voltaire and Nimmerdor.

Senator VDL is producing foals with correct conformation, lovely heads and a strong topline and hindquaters. The progeny out competing are scopey and careful, both in showjumping and eventing. Senator VDL is sire of the top New Zealand eventing horse, Balmoral Sensation, who was placed 5th at the Badminton Horse Trials 2016 and 6th at the Rio Olympics.

Senator VDL had multiple wins and placings throughout his jumping career including winning the Norwood Gold Cup at the Horse of the Year Show. He competed through to when he was an 9yo, when he was retired due to injury.

Senator VDL has an enviable pedigree on both sides of his family. His dam is Falonie by Voltaire (Team Nijhof) out of a Nimmerdor mare. She is the sister of two international showjumpers Charly and Gyltaire. Gyltaire, also by Voltaire, a full relation to Falonie, was ridden internationally by Michael Whitaker.

Senator VDL’s dam, grand dam and great grand dam are all “keur” mares. Keur is a very high ranking predicate that is only awarded to quality mares that have produced satisfactory offspring and have passed selection performance tests. On his dam’s side, he has the famous sires, Voltaire and Nimmerdor which are preferent stallions. A very high honor for sires that are bestowed as famous progenitors.

Sire Corland was bred from two of the most influential sires in global jumper breeding: The French stallion Cor de la Bryere and the Holstein stallion Landgraf I. He descends from the famous Holstein dam-line 104a, this lineage has produced numerous stallions and International sport horses. He had lots of influence in breeding based at VDL Stud in the Netherlands and was one of their top breeding stallions.

Dam

Noelle MVNZ

Due to a paddock injury, this mare is unable to compete.

Noelle’s dam Sereedom VDL herself was a top jumper winning and placing at 1.50m level. Sereedom VDL was imported into New Zealand from VDL stud in Holland in 2002.

She is out of the Holsteiner Stamm 4294 and is related in the second generation to the stallion Cormint.

Sereedom’s sire Indoctro (VDL Stud) was Champion of his stallion test in 1993 and had many wins and placings in his International career.

Indoctro has more than 10 approved sons including Orame and No Limit, who were both Champions of their stallion test.

He has also produced a number of champion mares and foals.

In 2006, at 16 years of age, Indoctro was awarded the much coveted title of ‘Preferent” by the KWPN. In the USA Indoctro was honoured as the USEF jump sire of the year. He is ranked as one of the best jumping sires of the world!

WVE Arctic Light
An athletic mare, that has substance, mover and sensibility. She is a real trier and enjoys the small amount of work that we have done with her. She is light on her feet, particularly over a fence. She catches your eye when she is in the ring. A serious prospect for the future.
