Mother is the Global Champions Tour winner Fit For Fun

Victorious in show jumping competitions for young horses

The extremely talented son of the stamp stallion Eldorado van de Zeshoek out of the Global Champions Tour winner Fit For Fun has mastered his entry into the competition scene brilliantly. Under Leonie Bußmann-Wöhle, he won and placed in show jumping tests for young horses in classes A and L with scores up to 8.6.

The first foals presented themselves in a sporty, correct and self-confident manner – and thus just right to be able to conquer the big courses around the globe.

The sire Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN is one of the evergreens of show jumping horse breeding and is currently in eleventh place in the WBFSH ranking of the world’s best show jumping sires. The Belgian licensing winner was victorious up to 1.60 metres in the 1.60 metre show jumping competition under Willem Greve/NED and placed in Nations Cups. He has long been allowed to bear the title of Ambassador of BWP breeding. The son of Clinton, whose dam Bijou Orai collected successes in the 1.60 metre course under Olivier Perreau, produced numerous important offspring, including the European Championship team fourth and individual seventh Eddy Blue/Darragh Kenny/IRL, the multiple winner in Grand Prix and Nations Cups, Killer Queen VDM/Daniel Deußer, the Olympic seventh, World Championship sixth and European Championship team bronze winner, Elektric Blue P/Max Kühner/AUT, as well as other 1.60 metre jumpers, such as Grandorado TN N.O.P. and Highway TN N.O.P./both Willem Greve/NED, Kaspar R/Harrie Smolders/NED, El Balou OLD/David O’Brian/IRL and Elwikke/Maikel van der Vleuten/NED.

The dam is none other than the Global Champions Tour winner Fit for Fun/Luciana Diniz/BRA. The pair won the Grand Prix of Doha/QAT, St. Gallen/SUI, Basel/SUI and Rotterdam/NED and placed second twice in the Grand Prix of Aachen and once in Calgary/CAN. At the Olympic Games in Rio/BRA, Fit for Fun finished ninth in the individual, took part in the World Cup final in Lyon/FRA in 2014 and at the European Championships in 2015 and 2017. Fit For Fun became a four-time stallion dam: in addition to Especial For Fun Z, Camargo (by Canturo)/Luciana Diniz/BRA, who was born before her sports career and was successful up to 1.60 m show jumping, as well as the serial winner in junior show jumping, Vino For Fun (by Verdi TN), and Dark For Fun (by Diamant de Semilly).

The collection of titles of the dam’s sire For Pleasure is long. He won team gold at the Olympic Games twice: in 1996 in Atlanta/USA with Lars Nieberg in the saddle, in 2000 in Sydney/AUS under Marcus Ehning. The chestnut stallion secured team team gold three times: 1997 in Mannheim with Lars Nieberg, 1999 in Mannheim and 2003 in Hickstead/GBR with Marcus Ehning. Individual bronze was won at the European Championships in Donaueschingen in 2003. For Pleasure also deserves a special position as a sire. The Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2000 sired over 120 licensed sons and soon 100 offspring with successes in the most difficult show jumping competitions in the world, such as Funcky Fred/Marcus Ehning, VDL Groep Beauty/Leopold van Asten/NED, My Pleasure/Juan Ortiz/VEN, Coral Reef Follow Me II/Mandy Porter/USA and Epleaser van ‘t Heike/Christian Ahlmann.

His granddam Fetzi produced the licensed Darco For Fun Z (by Darco), who was victorious up to 1.45 metres in show jumping, the 1.60 metre show jumper Flight of Ikarus (by For Pleasure)/Kai Schäfer and the international eventing horse RR Simple (by For Pleasure)/Dani Sussmann/USA. The Fetzi daughter (by Cador), who herself was placed up to 1.20 metres in show jumping, produced the two licensed stallions Double One and Diamant de Cador (both by Diamant de Plaisir).

The third dam Esta produced the advanced (S) level show jumper Carlchen (by Cento). Her full brother Europking was licensed.

Hanoverian line of Wilkür, from which also the stallions Amoroso I, II and III (by Augustinus xx).
