This is a son of the highly successful Grand Prix showjumping stallion Dallas VDL - who brings in the valuable genes of Douglas, Heartbreaker and Mr. Blue. In breeding, Dallas VDL stands out for producing horses with great scope, push of the floor, wonderful types and the right mentality. This horse was bred out of the mare Theodelinde, who herself competed upto 1.35m level and is a daughter of the world-famous Quick Star - sire to among others Olympic champion Big star. Theodelinde is a half-sister to the famous mare Melisimo - who competed in two World Cup Finals ridden by USA's Michelle Pia. In addition, Melisimo is also the dam to Ben Maher's highly successful Robin Hood W. Theodelinde's half-brother Olibero-D jumped the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky in 2010, ridden by South Africa's Charles Luyckx. Thid damline produced even more 1.60m showjumpers, such as Dutch Amouretta (Brenda Riddell), Stranger (Keith Shore), Zonneglans (Gemma Paternoster), Ulixes (Sharon Slater), and Cupidor (Mohamed El Naggar).
