SPIRAEA

https://www.paardenveilingonline.com/en/auction/Spiraea-DEFENDER-VDS-Z-x-MR-BLUE-

The pedigree of this promising Spiraea combines Defender VDS Z with the lineage of multiple Grand Prix winner Sterrehof’s Calimero (s.Quidam de Revel), ridden by Marc Houtzager. Through the influential sires Mr. Blue, Arpeggio, and Dollar du Murier, this line traces back to the renowned Libero H daughter Maifa. Besides producing the European Championship horse Sterrehof’s Calimero, Maifa also foaled the top-level performer Zilverstar VDL (s.Cardento), ridden by Martín Rodríguez Vanni. Additionally, she is the full sister of the 1.50m-level competing KWPN-approved stallion Ustinov. Sire Defender VDS Z is excelling at 1.40m level and has made a strong start in breeding. Dam Kamelia has already produced the NMK mare Paulownia (s.Grandorado TN), who jumped to 85 points as a three-year-old.
