Akiro van het Hippo-Lux

BWP Elite Foal Auction offers you the unique opportunity to buy a son of BWP ambassador Emerald van ’t Ruytershof out of the coveted BWP dam line 22. Emerald was successful at the highest level, including victories in Nations Cups, 5* Grands Prix and participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. He has not only proven himself in top-class showjumping, but also consistently produces successful showjumpers. Just think of Igor (gold in team and individual bronze at the European Championship in Rotterdam 2019, Jos Verlooy), 5* GP winner Imerald van ’t Voorhof, Kasper van het Hellehof (5*, McLain Ward) and Nice van ’t Zorgvliet (5*, Christian Kukuk). Thanks in part to them and a long list of other great performers, Emerald is in 12^th place in the WBFSH sire ranking.

Akiro also inherited a high dose of performance blood from his dam’s side. His dam, Kiara de la Pomme, is by BWP ambassador Nabab de Rêve (9^th in the most recent WBFSH ranking of the best showjumping horse suppliers in the world) out of Eluna van de Dwerse Hagen. Not only Eluna’s sire (BWP ambassador Querlybet Hero), but also her dam, Withney VD Dwerse Hagen, performed brilliantly in the international showjumping scene. Under the saddle of Patrik Spits, Withney performed very well in 5* World Cup classes, Grands Prix and Nations Cups. Withney’s offspring include Veneto DH Z (performed at 1m45 to 1m50 level), Jillonse Dwerse Hagen and Jonsaunier Dwerse Hagen. Cordula de Laubry makes also part of this BWP dam line 22, a performance line that guarantees showjumping horses for the highest level.
