Copperfield VDL (VDL Cardento x Toulon)
With thirteen highly talented showjumping horses from the 2022 crop, Trigon Auctions rounds off the year with an outstanding final selection. Once again, the Van de Lageweg family, Frederik De Backer and Stal Tops present a collection whose potential is unmistakable. These horses are on the cusp of their sporting careers and possess all the qualities needed to progress to the higher levels. Bidding is open from 1 to 10 December.
Guided by a deep understanding of what top sport requires, the Trigon Auctions team has assembled a compelling collection of future performers. Among the highlights are offspring of Zirocco Blue VDL, Carrera, Diamant de Semilly, Chin Chin and Cardento, all set to go under the virtual hammer.
Strong genes combined
Stitch (Diamant x Cornet Obolensky) - Son of the two of the top 5 ranked sires worldwide from the well known top producing Sina line.
The collection consists of twelve geldings and one stallion. Each horse meets the high standards that may be expected of future top performers. Genetically they have every opportunity to follow in the footsteps of renowned relatives. The Cardento son Copperfield VDL, for example, was bred out of the WEG competing mare HH Donnatella, who was placed in several Grand Prix and World Cup competitions. HH Donnatella is also the half-sister of former WBFSH ranking leader Tobago Z.
