CANDIDO VAN DE ZEVEN BUNDER Z (ET)

ABOUT

His sire is the 14-year-old Candy de Nantuel, with whom Pénélope Leprevost has excelled in international showjumping. In 2023, he ranked 2^nd in a 5* 1m55 GCT/GCL class in Paris, among others, and had the Marseillaise played multiple times thanks to victories in for instance Compiègne and Saint-Tropez. He passes on qualities that he himself possesses, such as suppleness in the canter, balance and elasticity. Several of his offspring perform at the highest level, including Chagrin d’Amour (5*, Lillie Keenan) and Horizon Des Partages (5*, Nicolas Sers).

Candido van de Zeven Bunders belongs to a fantastic damline. His dam, Umira van ’t Merelsnest, is a full sister to the international showjumper Eliano van ’t Merelsnest (with whom Bart de Bruijn performed at 1m45 level) and a half-sister to the international performers Odelina and Narjis van ’t Merelsnest. Umira’s granddam is none other than Wendelina van ’t Merelsnest. She jumped outstanding (up to and including international five-star level) and is also known as a broodmare. She produced international showjumping stars such as Glasgow-W VH Merelsnest (Jur Vrieling) and Morton van ’t Merelsnest (Richard Vogel). Wendelina is a full sister to Sapphire, the two-time winner of an Olympic team golden medal.
