Sunrise stands out with his excellent technique and athletic scope, and comes from the second crop of the successful breeding stallion Landino VDL. This blood-typed son of Stakkato Gold already sired the KWPN-approved premium stallion Raikkonen VDL. Dam Jatendrie VDL previously produced the NMK mare Ojatendrie VDL, who earned 90 points for both technique and scope at the mare inspection. Granddam Fatendri VDL is a half-sister to the World Cup showjumper Easton VDL, as well as to the 1.40m-level horses Jupilot VDL , Mister X VDL and the stallion Impressive VDL. In the sireline, the strongly influential Olympic stallion Cardento and Quaprice contribute their proven performance genetics. Sunrise originates from a successful branch of Holsteiner line 8763, which has produced outstanding 1.50/1.60m horses such as For Cento, Quinta 106, Cocodrillo, Quidman Denfer, Quebello D, Prestigious, and Quilana Denfer. Sunrise was one of the most striking stallions in the KWPN autumn performance test. He made a strong impression with his excellent technique, carefulness, athletic scope, and natural aptitude as a showjumper.
