Kartal's Emerald

Success is a family matter

Kartal's Emerald scored an 8.62 and was among the top 3 in his short predisposition test for 4-year-old stallions in Vechta 2025. Canter and rideability were rewarded with an 8.6, while jumping ability and willingness to perform were outstanding. These were emphasised several times and each scored 9.0, which was also the highest score of the day in both areas.

Kartal's Emerald is a credit to his family, with the highest level of commitment and pleasure in his daily work we look forward to a positive future for this stallion. Extremely well received by breeders, we look forward to numerous foals throughout the EU.

Kartal's Emerald, the radiant champion stallion of the 2022 Westphalian main licensing, combines successful genes from all sides and from several generations. With his four white boots and striking blaze, he cannot visually deny his sire Emerald.

Sire Emerald van het Ruytershof won silver at the World Championships for young show jumpers as a six-year-old, came second in the World Cup Final in Gothenburg and was part of the Dutch Olympic team in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 under Harrie Smolders. Dam Bella Donna was Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum's successful mare. She collected successes in World Cup show jumping, Nations Cups and at the 2012 Olympic Games in London at the age of just nine. Dam's sire Baldini II was also successful up to advanced level and is known as a strong-willed exceptional athlete. The paternal grandsire, Diamant de Semilly, earned several championship medals for France and sired many more offspring for the big international stage alongside Emerald.

Success is a family affair - that is exactly what Kartal's Emerald stands for.
