Herald III

"Blood will tell" and Herald's sire, the Thoroughbred stallion Heraldik xx continues to 'speak' through his offspring in show jumping (Herald with Hoyo de Monterey), in dressage (H-Ekwador), but most notably in Eventing. A popular choice in France, Herald III represents a very promising opportunity for bringing back blood in show jumping horses without losing the aptitude. Herald III is also a exceptional choice for breeders of eventing horses. He passes on his elegance and superior locomotion.

Herald was very successful under several riders: Pilar Lucrecia Cordon Muro, Markus Beerbaum, Eric Lamaze and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum placing very well. Since 2008 his achievements include: Vice-champion of Spain with P. Lucrecia Cordon Milo; Winner of the GP CSI3* of Vejer de la Frontera; GP CSI3* of St-Lô; Nations Cup at the CSIO5* of Barcelona; 3rd of the Nations Cup CSIO5* in Roma; 4th of the GP World cup 1m60 CSI5*-W of Mâlines; 4th of the Nations Cup CSIO5* in Lumen; 10th at the CSI5*-W of Vigo; 7th at the CSI4* of Gijon; 8th at the CSI4* of la Corogne and Vejer de la Frontera; 10th at the CSIO5* of Lumen. Performing at the highest levels for over than 8 years, and with his interesting and proven family, we believe Herald can be an asset for breeding bringing the optimum blend of blood and sport.

A show-jumper himself, the Czech-bred Heraldik xx has held the 'WBFSH Leading Sires-Eventing' first position since 2009 (no. 2 in 2008) particularly through his top offspring - Halunke FBW, RF Tabasco, FRH Butts Abraxxas. We also find other top thoroughbred stallions in Herald's pedigree: Ladykiller xx, Manometer xx, Cottage Son xx and Anblick xx.
Also Herald's damline is strong: Herald's half-brother Coolman jumped in Grand Prix's and World Cups under Pius Schwizer. Dam Alassia also gave international jumper Merlin. Granddam Sasskia brought the famous Falke, who was ridden so successfully by Gerhard Wiltfang. This damline has also brought Larimar, Carlot, and Elastic Dream.
