The three-year-old Wonderboy van de Donkhoeve is a true blood-type horse who puts in effort and shows carefulness at the jump.
Sire Costello T Z jumped as a 7-yr-old his first international 1.45m courses with Guy Beyers and performed at 1.40m level last year with Helena Beyers. With Comme il Faut and Toulon in the pedigree the expectations are very high. His dam is a half-sister of the 1.60m Grand Prix horse Myra under Lieven Devos (BEL).
Dam is Galina vd Donkhoeve (Glennfiddich). Granddam Jalina van de Donkhoeve is a daughter of top sire Kashmir Van Schuttershof and the 1.40m level showjumping mare Ramona van de Gaver (Chin Chin).
Ramona, a half-sister of VDL Fakir (1.60m Grand Prix), gave the 1.60m Grand Prix horses Utopia van de Donkhoeve and Ovidius vd Donkhoeve, as well as the approved stallion Wizard van de Donkhoeve (1.45m level). Utopia is also the granddam of Jessica Springsteen’s top horse Don Juan van de Donkhoeve (1.70m GP).
Ramona is also the granddam of Belano vd Wijnhoeve (1.60m GP), Farao of Heritage (1.60m GP), Allegro van de Donkhoeve (1.60m GP), Passion vd Donkhoeve (1.55m GP) and the 1.50m level horses Bon Aventura ODTH Z and Quando van den Heuvel. From the same family come the approved stallions Impress-K van ’t Kattenheye Z (1.65m GP) and Sherlock (1.60m GP)
