PVO Foals & Embryos | Summer Sale III 2026
Implanted Embryo Comme Il Faut X Mystique
Comme Il FautEmerald van't Ruytershof
The uncle Domino (s.Thunder van de Zuuthoeve) won the individual final class at 1.60m in Las Vegas on 19 April 2015. In the overall World Cup Final standings he finished fifth. In June that year he jumped a double clear round in the 1.60m Nations Cup at St. Gallen. Audrey Coulter rode him at 1.60m in 2016 and Jos Verlooy in 2017.
He is out of the granddam Queen d’Azur Middelstede, an Elite mare carrying the E-label. She produced twenty foals, two of which HorseTelex lists at 1.60m. The second is the uncle Torinto van de Middelstede. Behind them come the uncle Newton van de Middelstede at 1.45m and the aunt La Princesse van de Middelstede at 1.40m. The dam Mystique van de Middelstede competed up to 1.50m herself and is a daughter of Emerald van ‘t Ruytershof, who jumped 1.60m under Harrie Smolders.
The cross is deliberately repeated here, because all three of Mystique van de Middelstede’s embryos are by Comme il Faut. He won a 1.55m at Chantilly on 13 July 2018 and was ridden at 1.60m by Marcus Ehning. This implanted embryo is a filly.
