About Hemerald

Emerald – A Top Global Stallion and Living Legend in Sport and Breeding Emerald’s sire, Emerald, is one of the world’s best stallions and topped 3 of 5 Hippomund showjumping rankings in 2020! He combines the finest Holsteiner bloodlines with some of France’s best, uniting two of the world’s top stallions in both sport and breeding. His sire, Diamant de Semilly, who claimed individual gold at the World Championships in Jerez, ranks number one in the WBFS stallion rankings. Emerald’s maternal grandsire is Jos Lansink’s legendary Olympic stallion Carthago Z, known for producing numerous world-class performers and a powerful influence on the dam line. Emerald is already a living legend in both breeding and sport, praised by many, including our own Chef d’Equipe Sylve Söderstrand, as one of the world’s most complete horses. He is highly sought after worldwide for breeding and simultaneously delivers an outstanding sport career with top results at 5-star 160 cm level under Dutch rider Harry Smolders. Highlights include a silver medal at the 2016 World Cup Final in Gothenburg and nomination for the Rio Olympics by the Dutch Olympic Committee. See the link to his profile and video further down the page. The pedigree boasts more top jumpers: his maternal grandsire Ultimo, by Phin Phin – Burggraaf, was a top-level competitor who, after a successful career in Dutch breeding and sport, was exported to China. Although Ultimo only stood in the Netherlands for a few years, he ranks an impressive 6th in the KWPN index for progeny sport success. Emerald’s progeny have already proven exceptional! He passes on his fierce attitude and work ethic, incredible scope, and a fantastic, expressive canter. His offspring stand out with great charisma and often striking markings, making them easily recognizable in the crowd.
