It doesn’t get much better than this

Capital’s Harton van de Berghoeve Z was the top seller at the 2019 Zangersheide Auction, going for 76 000 Euros. His bloodlines see a combination of the top foundation stallions, Heartbreaker and Diamant de Semilly.

Harton is sired by Heartbreaker, who passed away last year, after competing at the very top level of the sport, and producing many offspring who continue to do the same. In the 2014 World Equestrian Games there were three sons and 15 grandsons of Heartbreaker, all demonstrating his trademark blood and agility. One of Heartbreaker’s very well-known sons, Halifax van Kluizebos is the father of Capital’s Hermes.

Hiamant van’t Roosakker’s damline goes back to the formidable mother of Grand Prix competitors, Usha van’t Roosakker via Atoucha van’t Roosakker.  Hiamant van’t Roosakker is also the full sister to 1.50m showjumper Gatoucha van’t Roosakker (sold for EUR 570,000 as a broodmare) and half-sister to 1.60m jumper Electra van’t Roosakker. Being the daughter of the recently deceased elite foundation stallion Diamant de Semilly, who was the leader of the WBFSH in both 2015 and 2016, her inherited talent is immense.  Diamant de Semilly has produced many excellent stallions like Emerald van’t Ruytershof, Quickly de Kreisker, Don VHP Z, Dominator 2000 Z and Mumbai, as well as broodmares. He is known for giving his offspring a huge amount of scope and they are widely described as being ‘natural born winners’.
