Edward Blue is a five-year-old gelding who has already attracted attention with a victory in a young horse jumping class (1.00 m). Even at this early stage of his career, he combines exceptional talent, outstanding rideability and the kind of character every rider hopes to find in a young sport horse.
One of Edward Blue’s most remarkable qualities is his kind, relaxed and balanced temperament. He is a horse that brings joy every day and, thanks to his uncomplicated nature, appeals equally to professionals and ambitious amateurs. At the jumps, he demonstrates excellent judgement and an almost effortless technique. His quick reflexes, carefulness and seemingly unlimited scope suggest a very exciting future ahead. Quality, attitude and rideability come together here in an exceptionally attractive package.
His movement is equally impressive. Three harmonious gaits, a naturally balanced canter and automatic flying changes make him a comfortable and straightforward horse to ride and develop further. His willingness to perform, combined with his natural rideability, gives riders confidence and creates an enjoyable partnership from the very beginning.
His sire, Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN, is one of the most influential showjumping sires in the world today. The son of Clinton and Toulon competed successfully at the highest international level under Willem Greve and has established himself among the leading sires in international breeding rankings. Outstanding offspring such as Killer Queen VDM, Electric Blue P, Jeunesse, Geneve R, Grandorado TN and Highway M TN underline his exceptional breeding value.
The dam line is equally impressive. Edward Blue is out of a daughter of the unforgettable Chacco-Blue, one of the most influential jumping sires of all time. Particularly noteworthy is the direct connection to the mare Widine by Domino, who is also the granddam of the renowned sire Chacoon Blue.
Further generations feature proven performance blood through Domino, Winston, Almhügel III and Agram. The fourth dam, Akelei Z, is a full sister to the Olympic Team Gold Medal winner Askan, ridden by Gerd Wiltfang. This dam line traces directly to the highly influential Hanoverian mare family 33/Agenda, one of Germany’s most successful performance families. No fewer than 25 licensed stallions and numerous international showjumpers originate from this line, including Aramis Z, Askan, Don Ramiro, Gavi and Sao Paulo.
Edward Blue combines proven talent, exceptional rideability and a pedigree packed with international performance genetics. A modern sport horse with all the ingredients for a successful future in showjumping.
