20. ROYAL AFFAIR

Hunter? Show jumper?

Both ways, this mare has royal blood running through her veins!

Despite her tender age, this powerfully built sport horse has excellent manners under the saddle and an unimpeachable character. There aren’t many other horses with Royal Affair’s unblemished character, courage and intelligence. Always light mouthed and responsive, she has a powerful take-off and a super bascule over jumps. Every round looks harmonious: her canter is smooth and even, and her confidence and love of jumping are obvious. She’s perfect for any show jumper or hunter class rider.

Royal Affair has plenty of competition experience and placings, including 1.05m young horse class wins and placings in 1.15m young horse classes.

Royal Affair has a very royal pedigree, but no hint of an affair. In fact, she is the product of a perfectly planned combination of finest performance horse genes. Nathan van de Heffinck is a pleasure to watch. He’s an athletic horse with plenty of scope and an impressive technique. His sire H&M Tornesch hit the headlines with Swedish rider Malin Baryard-Johnsson: in 2011 and 2015 they won the European Championships and in 2011, 2013 and 2014 they competed in the World Cup finals. For many years they were the most successful horse and rider duo in Sweden, celebrating numerous placings in Nations Cups, World Cup classes and Grand Prixs.

Damsire Toulon is a coveted sire with very interesting bloodlines. His sire Heartbreaker is an exceptional competition horse and, as a breeding stallion, he produces world class offspring that do his name proud.

Successful relatives:

Texas (Penelope Leprevost), Hot Stuff (Abdulrahman Alrajh), Crimson (Malin Baryard-Johnsson), Turmalin (Emelie Hugoson-Feldt), Visconti du Telman (Kevin Staut), Kiana van het Herdershof (Daniel Deusser), Living the Dream und Vancouver de Lanlore (Pius Schwizer) , PSG Final (Cian O’Connor), High Valley (Bertram Allen), Cherbourg (Jonathan Gordon), Horizon de Regor (Pieter Clevens)

Royal Affair - an exciting mix of show jumper and hunter!

She’s pure majesty!
