Valentula Eickenrode

Akarad Hero Z x Cardento x Heartbreaker Filly, bay, KWPN, 14-05-2025 Performance-bred from a damline full of Grand Prix horses and proven sires Valentula Eickenrode is an eye-catching filly foal with a pedigree rooted in power, mentality, and international sport. Her dam, Kalorata Eickenrode, brings the valuable genes of leading sires Cardento and Heartbreaker. Her eldest offspring is making waves in international competitions and she is also a sister to the 1.50m horse Jignipes Eickenrode, formerly ridden by John Whitaker and currently successful with Dennis van den Brink. This strong performance line also produced the legendary stallion Lord Z (John Whitaker/Franke Sloothaak), Olympic silver medallist In Style (Ian Miller) and Grand Prix horses Anytime and Atlantic VDL. Sire Akarad Hero Z was succesful at five-star Grand Prix and Nations Cup level under Pieter Clemens, and his first offspring are now making their mark in sport. This comes as no surprise, given his exceptional pedigree: Aganix du Seigneur out of top mare China Touch Hero, infusing the influential blood of Chin Chin, Caretino and Landgraf I. He passes on power, quick reflexes and balance – qualities that perfectly complement the classic power of Cardento and the winning mentality of Heartbreaker. Valentula Eickenrode is a modern sport mare in the making, with sharpness, scope, and a damline built for top-level sport and breeding.
