Esmeraldo, the son of the internationally highly successful Emerald van ́t Ruytershof out of a dam of Caretino / Lord / Landgraf not only catches the eye with his extraordinary drawing. Staphan Haarhoff, the Holstein breeding director, described this exceptional young stallion as extremely typey, with an impressive attachment and outstanding quality at the jump.
Esmeraldo not only received top marks in jumping at his licensing, but also in the evaluation of movement and breed type. He can also confirm his talent under saddle: As the outstanding winner, he can finish the aptitude test with an overall score of 8.93. The evaluation committee awarded the score of 9.0 and better four times. The canter was rated with a 9.0; rideability with a 9.2 and jumping facility as well as willingness to perform even with a score of 9.3.
Even at the age of 4, he confirmed this result on the occasion of his sports test. The judges awarded an 8.8 for his rideability, an 8.5 each for the canter and jumping, an 8.6 for the overall impression.
A complete stallion that combines the best characteristics of the Holstein horse.
Esmeraldo's first crop of foals has fulfilled all expectations: with a very broad mare base, he can uniformly put his stamp on his offspring. Correct, with harmonious lines, a good attachment, ultra-modern and equipped with a bit of colour, his offspring score as winners at foal shows and price peaks at auctions all over Europe.
