What a showdown in the individual Olympic show jumping final! Each and every one quality horses and phenomenal riders who wanted to seize Olympic medals. But as always, there can only be one winner: Explosion W and Ben Maher. 

He lives up to his name on all fronts and fulfilled his role brilliantly as the top favorite for the individual medals. Best of all, you can have the next Explosion W in your stable! In the very first edition of the Exclusive KWPN Jumping Foal Auction, his nephew Reaction W van 't Studutch is part of the collection. Besides the fact that the dam of Reaction is a half-sister to Explosion W, she is combined with the dominant Chacco-Blue. He is also the sire of Explosion W and many other top horses. No fewer than four of his offspring were taking part in the Olympics.

And how about Maikel van der Vleuten's amazing performance with his Beauville Z? In this collection you can also find offspring of Bustique. This stallion is making considerable progress as a breeding sire and immediately delivered a bronze Olympic medalist out of his first crop. In addition to the blood of Bustique, Ronan d'n Hop carries the blood of Guidam, Burggraaf and Voltaire and is a half-brother of the 1.60m horse Demilion W (s.Emilion). Ronan d’n Hop is coming out of the famous Zottie/Lottie damline.

Emerald van 't Ruytershof daughter Rouelette ES is also of good descent. In addition to her Olympic sire, her dam is the 1.50m horse A.Vaantje R (s.Carinjo), who was successful under the saddle of Wout-Jan van der Schans. And she has already proven to be valuable in breeding too. She produced the 1.60m horse Ideal (by Andiamo) and the 1.40m horse Idiaal Special H.J. (by Falaise de Muze). The Grand Prix horses Robin Hood R (s.Calvados) and Ulrike R (s.Ikoon) are also coming from this dam line.

And what about the legendary Olympic mare Ratina Z? She can be traced to the direct dam-line of Riva Style VK. This daughter of Cornet Obolensky has the full sister to Ratina Z as het great-granddam. This dam-line is full of top 1.60m jumping horses as Gemma W (by Luidam) and Chamir Z (by Chellano Z). 

Competed twice at the Olympics, Olympic team silver, European team gold and team gold at the World Equestrian Games; Verdi TN is for sure one of the most successful jumping horses at all times. His daughter Reverie has earned his looks and also carries the valuable blood of Spartacus and Carthago Z.
