Venture Key

From the direct damline of Usha van ’t Roosakker

Venture Key is a colt that stands out for his presence, power, and remarkably strong genetic foundation. His pedigree reads like a curated list of showjumping royalty: Emerald van ’t Ruytershof and Berlin represent a blend of explosiveness, attitude, and proven breeding success – a combination that promises more than just potential. Sire Emerald, the powerhouse under Harrie Smolders, earned his place at the very top of the sport with appearances at the Olympic Games, European Championships, and World Cup Finals. His offspring are making their mark worldwide, including Grand Prix horses such as Ilias van ’t Vlasmeer, Jeunesse, Kasparov DV, Igor van de Wittemoere, and El Barone 111 Z. Dam Bernusha Key SR Z is a daughter of Berlin, the fearless stallion who won team gold at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen with Gerco Schröder. Berlin is known for passing on his toughness, power, and mental strength – traits that have made him a favorite in damlines across the globe. And Bernusha’s damline leaves nothing to chance. Her great-granddam, Usha van ’t Roosakker, is one of the most influential broodmares in the world and the cornerstone of an extraordinary dynasty of international showjumpers like Cella, Erco van ’t Roosakker, Babbe van ’t Roosakker, Emperio van ’t Roosakker, Geena van ’t Roosakker and Melvin vd Bisschop – all of whom have competed at the highest level. Bernusha is closely related to these top-level performers, underscoring the blend of sport and breeding value that runs deep in this line. This damline is synonymous with quality, reliability, and a true high-performance mindset.
