pedigree: succeeded at the highest levels of international sport

Pedigree: Hardrock Z × Pegase van’t Ruytershof × Harley VDL 
Hip Hop Linden is a colt bred from the combination of two highly influential mare families in European sport horse breeding – the families of Care Blanche Z and Quasibelle du Seigneur. His pedigree is built upon horses that have succeeded at the highest levels of international sport, combined with a maternal line that has produced Grand Prix horses and renowned breeding stallions for generations.

SIRE 
The sire of this colt is Hardrock Z, a proven jumping stallion by the legendary Heartbreaker. At international level, he competed successfully up to 1.60 m, including appearances at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro under Emanuele Andrade.
Hardrock Z is respected for passing on scope, power, carefulness, and a strong competitive mindset, qualities that have made him a valued sire in modern showjumping breeding.

DAM 
The dam of Hip Hop Linden is a daughter of Pegase van’t Ruytershof, one of the most promising representatives of the famous van’t Ruytershof family. Combined with Harley VDL, she contributes additional strength, carefulness, and proven sport horse quality to the pedigree.
This combination represents bloodlines that have been successfully present in the pedigrees of international showjumping horses for many years, bringing together performance genetics from some of Europe’s most influential breeding programs.

DAMLINE 
The greatest strength of Hip Hop Linden’s pedigree lies within his exceptional maternal family. The colt descends directly from the famous Quasibelle du Seigneur, one of the most influential mares in modern showjumping breeding.
This remarkable family has produced numerous top-level performers, including Glock’s London, multiple medalist at the world’s most prestigious championships, as well as Oak Grove’s Heartfelt and Ambasador Z.
For generations, the Quasibelle du Seigneur family has consistently transmitted the qualities most valued in showjumping sport: courage, intelligence, carefulness, and exceptional jumping ability. Combined with the proven performance genetics of Hardrock Z, Pegase van’t Ruytershof, and Harley VDL, Hip Hop Linden offers an exciting blend of elite sport bloodlines and long-term breeding value.
