Valentijn Ġ x Joyride HvH
Responsive
Proud
Finicky

Introducing our magnificent Vedro HvH. Vedro entered competition in 23.1 shown under Mina Vogt as a junior. Within his first season of competition, Vedro earned both his Champion and Grand Champion titles. Vedro is highly responsive to his rider's every command and takes pride in his agile movements. With his striking chestnut coat and powerful build, he exudes confidence and strength in every jump. This stallion boasts a pedigree of champions and has already sired many successful offspring in the show jumping arena. For those seeking to add exceptional grace and power to their breeding program, this stallion is the perfect choice.
Vedro HvH's sire Valentijn Ġ (Foundation x Foundation) is a 16.2hh liver chestnut Dutch Warmblood stallion of foundation lineage who holds a Dressage Federation's Platinum Medal and Warmblood Breeders Guild's Bronze Medallion.
Valentijn is every dressage rider's dream. He's got tons of impulsion, collects easily, and is very expressive through the bridle. He's an extremely hard worker and enjoys practicing complex movements like passage and canter pirouette. His one flaw is that he can be a bit finicky – he has all the buttons so wants his rider to guide him with perfect aids, every time. Around the barn, he is extremely affectionate and is always looking for human attention.
22.1-23.1 Review: Beginning his dressage career, Valentijn was champion at Training level at CCDF Herning in Denmark. Moving to First level, he was champion at the Arlington Dressage Show.

Moving to Intermediate I, he was reserbe champion at CCDF Desert Dressage before becoming a champion at Intermediate II at the Stal Gezellig July Dressage Schooling Show. Valentijn is best known for his extensive career at Grand Prix level. His vast accomplishments at the highest level of the sport are impressive to say the least. Valentijn was champion at Grand Prix at the Stal Gezellig August Dressage Schooling Show, Coniston Dressage Show, Cloud Palace Concerto, CCDF Holiday Kickoff and La Hacienda April Dressage. In addition, Valentijn was reserve champion at Grand Prix at Twilight Dressage at Maple Ridge, South American Dressage Tour in Santiago, Monster Mash Dressage Series Final, Stal Gezellig October Dressage Schooling Show, and trough the CCDF at the Canterbury Holiday Dressage and World Equestrian Centre Dressage, and in Neustadt Dosse, Hastings and Tolbert.
