Unveiled below: Horses available through the exclusive Tops International Auction.

Duke of ‘S Heerwillems Z, 2018, stallion

2018 | 167cm | Diamant De Semilly x Van Gogh

The very powerful Duke of ‘S Heerwillems Z is a dream horse in every way. His gorgeous looks make heads turn, his jump is top class and his ride most comfortable. He’s had successful outings in the Belgian Stallion Competition and this year at the age of 6, he was one of the most discussed horses during the spring tour in Oliva. 

This horse is a classic ride making a great horse for a lot of riders with big ambitions. He is sired by the well know Diamant De Semilly. His mother Venus is sired by the incredible Van Gogh who was an amazing horse that won the Global Champions Tour Grand Prix with Marco Kutscher in Valkenswaard and a lot of other Grand Prix’s. Duke of ‘S Heerwillems is for sure one for the big sport.

Ratina-Linn van het Netehof, 2017, mare

2017 | 164cm | Chaccon Blue x Diamant de Semilly

There’s blue skies ahead for Ratina-Linn van het Lindehof. As a 7-year-old she is careful and has successfully jumped 1.35m classes. The ‘Linn’ in her name stands for her mother, L’innocence van het Meulenhof, a former Belgian young horse champion and now successful Grand Prix horse with Jeroen De Winter. L’innocence is a sister of the great Olympic stallion and sire Emerald of Harrie Smolders, Diamanthina of Constant van Paesschen and Illusionata of Niels Bruynseels. This means Ratina-Linn is related to the 2024 Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix winning siblings, Messi van’t Ruytershof and H&M Luna van’t Ruytershof. 

The mare seems to have it all. Scope, intelligence, carefulness and smart blood. At the horseshow you can spot her from far away when her tail is flying through those blue skies, finishing the jump with her exuberant hind leg

⁠N-Crown Colonel Obolensky, 2018, gelding

2018 | 169cm | Cornet Obolensky x For Pleasure

N-Crown Colonel Obolensky is a potential 5* Grand Prix horse. You might see it in his pedigree, being sired by Cornet Obolensky and For Pleasure or in his family as he is related to Belcanto Z, the Nations Cup and Grand Prix winner of Alberto Marquez Galobardes and Michael Duffy. But you’re guaranteed to feel it once in the saddle. 

This sensitive gelding can create scope from nowhere. He has a lot of blood and a positive approach to the fence. He has shown great competitiveness in young horse competitions in Great Britain and mainland Europe. So far we can only describe him as a future Grand Prix winner.
