BROODMARE - ELITE VAN DE PADENBORRE

PEDIGREE HIGHLIGHTS

ELITE VAN DE PADENBORRE, DAM OF THE OUTSTANDING SHOWJUMPERS LAS VEGAS VD PADENBORRE AND RIESLING VAN DE GAATHOEVE

Is breeding gambling? Certainly not when you buy Elite van de Padenborre and breed with her. She is a genetic pearl, bred to breed top performers. Do we need to introduce her sire? Eric Levallois experienced numerous highlights with Diamant de Semilly, such as team gold and individual 9^th at the World Equestrian Games in Jerez de la Frontera (2002) and team silver at the European Championship in Donaueschingen (2003). His successful offspring in the international showjumping scene earned him 3rd place in the WBFSH sire ranking. And what about Elite’s dam, Butterfly van de Padenborre? She jumped at 1m40 to 1m45 level and is a half-sister to several international top showjumpers, such as Ohio, Val T’Horens, Winchester and Fox Trot van de Padenborre, all representatives of BWP lineage 21.

Elite van de Padenborre lives up to her name. She was ex aequo winner in the final of the Belgian Championship for 4-year-olds in Gesves. As a broodmare she has already presented her business card several times. Her son Las Vegas VD Padenborre achieved several top ten places during 5* competitions (1m50 to 1m55 level) and another son of hers, Riesling van de Gaathoeve, was approved as a stallion by BWP, won the final of the BvB for 7-year-olds last year and ranked 8^th at the World Championship in Lanaken, in partnership with Pieter Kenis.

Elite van de Padenborre is in foal to the promising Taboe van het Molenhof (BWP dam line 33), who was sold during the BWP Online Foal Auction and is a half-brother to the international performers Balou and Quasimodo van het Molenhof.
