This embryo combines young talent with widely proven performance genes; sire Lord Europe is a a premium awarded stallion in both Hanover and Denmark, and dam O.Bertje is one of the leading mares in Dutch dressage breeding.

O.Bertje produced top dressage horses in all aspects of sport and breeding. Her son Tango is approved by the KWPN and later performed at Grand Prix level with Hans Peter Minderhoud, as did his full brother Bonzanjo who was successful with Diederik van Silfhout. O.Bertje’s daughters Zhara-Obertje and D.Obertje became KWPN National Mare Champion in 2007 and 2011 respectively. Zhara-Obertje subsequently performed at Small Tour level, as did O.Bertje’s other offspring Ferrari and Compas. O.Bertje is also grandam of the Small Tour horses Iago and Hemingway and of the approved stallions Jheronimus and Happy Feet. Grandam Cordola stood at the basis of the Grand Prix dressage horses Equinova’s Wendel and Chigali.

Sire Lord Europe brings the genes of the famous Lord Leatherdale together with the Jazz son Boston. As a 2-year old Lord Europe already made a smashing impression at the Hanoverian Stallion Licensing, where he was awarded premium and sold to Joop van Uytert, Andreas Helgstrand and Paul Schockemöhle. Later, Lord Europe lived up to his high expectations at the Danish Stallion Show and also passed the performance test.
