19. LADY MARMALADE

She’s the epitome of harmony: and that’s one of the reasons why she was selected for the auction collection.

Lady Marmalade is a spectacularly talented, elegant looking and super-careful five-year-old chestnut mare. Her natural beauty and charisma never fail to captivate. Her concentration in the ring is remarkable. This, coupled with a near-perfect technique, a positive and forward-going attitude and a real talent for jumping, makes her very special sport horse. Compactly built, Lady Marmalade is a mare with just the kind of quality that you’d look for in a performance horse and she is also a dream to ride. All of these attributes make her the perfect choice for an ambitious junior or amateur rider.

Hotspot boasts an impressive pedigree that includes the exceptional sires Hors la Loi, Nabab de Reve and For Pleasure. His dam, Hermione de la Pomme, as well as the second and third dams, were all successful international show jumping horses. Hotspot is also Mathis van Asten’s international horse with multiple placings in very big classes this year and winner of the VHO Trophy 2023. The damsire Diamant de Semilly made his name as a competition horse and established himself as a genuine legend in the world of horse breeding. Diamant de Semilly was sired by Le Tot de Semilly, the horse that won team gold at the WEG and came second in the European Championships with Eric Levallois, as well being placed on numerous occasions over the most challenging of courses. As a sire, Diamant de Semilly’s reputation outshines his sporting achievements and he has produced numerous exceptionally successful jumping horses. Top breeding stallion Mr. Blue is an enriching addition to this pedigree.

Young Lady Marmalade has a lot of competition experience, including her first international placings in youngster tours.

Lady Marmalade’s career is already mapped out and she’s going to do her new rider proud.
