VDL Mette

As a three-year-old, VDL Mette already demonstrated her exceptional qualities by claiming the championship title at the Dutch Mare Championship. The remarkable abilities she showcased during free jumping at that time proved to be a perfect indicator of her potential as a sport horse. VDL Mette is an athletic mare that jumps with a very quick take off, is very careful, has a great technique and has athletic scope. VDL Mette is a winner in the ring and is an eyecatcher too! Sire: As a young horse, sire Etoulon VDL already impressed with his remarkable jumping technique and reflexes. He continued his outstanding performances in international classes with multiple placings on 1.50m level with Jur Vrieling. Equally impressive are Etoulon VDL’s breeding achievements, with his oldest offspring excelling at the highest levels, such as Jordan Molga M, Ebanking, Opaline de W&S, and Lexington. Dam: Dam Fresia van Olivia VDL, combines the influential sire Cardento with a strong French damline. As a three-year-old, she earned high marks at the mare inspection and again in the mare performance test. Damline: VDL Mette traces back in the third generation to the full sister of the renowned French sire Papillon Rouge, who competed at the highest level under Xavier Leredde. Great-granddam Olivia Rouge has produced the 1.50m-level stallion Dragon Rouge, and from this direct branch also originates top-level showjumpers such as Quartz Rouge, Cincaba Rouge, and Nathan des Hayettes.
