The Grand Prix stallion Baltic has earned the Preferent predicate with the KWPN, placing him among the new generation of influential sire stallions. Baltic is a son of the, prematurely deceased, Grand Prix jumper Quaprice. The ‘Keur’ stallion Jus de Pomme (double Gold winner at the Atlanta Olympics) is sire to many Grand Prix jumpers. The line then continues with the proven sires Wellington, Orthos, Joost and Rigoletto.

Baltic’s dam is the ‘Ster, Preferent and Prestatie’ mare Nellandra. Nellandra is a full sister to the Grand Prix jumper Mellandra. Baltic is the full brother of Ben Maher’s  Grand Prix Don Vito and  related to top jumpers like Cuplandra, Wilandro, Winning Good, et cetera who descend from the same dam line.

Palmares

As a 3-year-old, Baltic was the KWPN Stallion Testing Champion. As a 7-year-old, Baltic finished 6th in the Dutch Championships (VION Cup) and 3rd in the KWPN Stallion Competition. James Billington trained Baltic VDL to the international 1.60m-level. Multiple great results  have been booked, he became 5th in the GP of Leszno, 7th in de GP De Wolden and 7th in de GP Wierden.

After this, Baltic VDL took several international wins in 2018 and 2019, among those are the 1.50m rubric in Oldenburg. Baltic also placed himself for Redefin, Poznan, Stuttgart, Valkenswaard, Rotterdam en St Tropez.
