SPRINGSTEEN

ABOUT

Springsteen is a gelding foaled in 2022, by Diarado out of a Breitling LS damsire. A horse with unlimited scope and blood, plenty of go and very comfortable; the rider was enthusiastic about him. He is broken to saddle, uses his hindquarters well, has a good canter and balance and jumps with good technique, plenty of push off the ground and gets off the floor quickly, careful. Friendly, draws in well towards the fence. A horse for many riders, suitable from amateur to professional.

Achieved high scores in the VSN qualifying round and qualified for the final. He received an 8 for canter, technique and push-off, and in the final she earned the highest score of all horses for scope with an 8.8. She ultimately finished 5th among all VSN horses in the Netherlands.

Sire Diarado jumped 1.50m himself and is a son of the world-famous Diamant de Semilly (1.60m); he was the undisputed champion stallion of the 2007 Holsteiner licensing with a 10.0 for free-jumping and is one of the sought-after showjumping sires, with over a hundred internationally approved sons. Well-known offspring include:
JL Dublin (European Championship gold and Olympic team gold in eventing, under Tom McEwen)
Dicas (1.60m, under Margie Goldstein-Engle)

Damsire Breitling LS jumped 1.60m and comes from Quintero la Silla x Armonia la Silla; both parents competed at top sport themselves under Rolf-Goran Bengtsson.

The damline includes among others Dukato 9 (1.35m). A blood-rich, careful showjumper with plenty of scope, suitable for a broad group of riders.
