No fewer than 15 offspring of VDL stallions will compete at the World Jumping Championships in Aachen this week. A fantastic representation of VDL bloodlines at the very highest level of international showjumping.
Among the competitors is the VDL Stud-bred Equine America Harwich VDL (Arezzo VDL x Darco). Together with Johan-Sebastian Gulliksen, he will represent Norway. VDL Quintin (Quaprice x Emilion), bred by Dennis van Tilburg, will also compete in Aachen, representing the Czech Republic with Vaclav Stanek.
Harwich VDL and VDL Quintin are also two fantastic references for the WEF Sport Horse Auction. Both horses were sold as young talents through the auction to their current owners and have since developed into horses competing at the very highest level.
