Smooth Criminal

Smooth Criminal is a three-year-old stallion who commands attention with his strength, presence, and remarkable jumping quality. He is sired by the iconic Emerald van ’t Ruytershof, and it shows—in his color, mindset, and athletic talent. On the dam’s side, the pedigree is equally impressive. His dam is the full sister of the legendary Argento, the top mount of John Whitaker, who earned over 1.5 million dollars in prize money. Argento secured major wins including the GCT Chantilly (2018), *CSIO5 St. Tropez (2016), and *CSIO5 Rome (2015), to name just a few. The granddam, Flora May, produced not only Argento but also Arakan, who competed at 1.60m level with Louise Lovergrove. This damline is rich in performance, consistently producing horses for the highest level of the sport. Under saddle and in free jumping, Smooth Criminal clearly carries the stamp of Emerald: excellent use of the back, focused expression over the fence, and a beautiful, athletic technique. He reads the jumps well, uses his body with precision, and shows the kind of power that suggests he’ll handle bigger courses with ease. For those seeking a stallion with an exceptional pedigree, modern type, and all the raw talent needed for top-level sport, Smooth Criminal is a standout choice.
