Wantino van ’t Merelsnest is a three-year-old gelding with a world-class pedigree. He is a son of Kannan, combined with bloodlines from Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve, Darco, and Hedjaz – all sires with proven success at the highest levels of the sport. His dam, Perina van ’t Merelsnest, competed at 1.40m level. His granddam, Wedelina van ’t Merelsnest, jumped at 1.50m and is the full sister of none other than Qarco van ’t Merelsnest (1.60m) and Sapphire van ’t Merelsnest (1.65m, McLain Ward). This dam line is bursting with international talent, producing numerous top-level sport horses across generations. Wantino presents himself as a modern sport horse with strong basic gaits: a balanced canter and a powerful, active trot. In free jumping, he shows striking carefulness and clear scope. He also carries many of Kannan’s trademark qualities – horses that often take their time to mature but reward their rider with steady, impressive progress. For those looking to invest in a talented young jumper with a rare and proven pedigree, Wantino van ’t Merelsnest is truly a promise for the future.
