Talented 4-year-old Hermès mare

Talented 4-year-old dressage mare from an exceptional damline with many predicates and proven sport performances. An interesting mare for both the ambitious sport rider and breeding!

Name: Sunseeker VV (PROK, D-OC)
Sire: Hermes
Dam's sire: Prestige VDL
Year of birth: 2022
Studbook: KWPN
Height at withers: approx. 1.65 – 1.67 m
Colour: Dark bay

Sunseeker VV is a true prospect for the future. She is being trained at L/M level. She has three high-quality paces with plenty of suppleness, balance, and excellent body usage. Under saddle, she demonstrates great talent for the higher-level dressage work.

Her dam Affidavit (ELITE, IBOP (80), PREFERENT, PRESTATIE, PROK), by Prestige VDL (Grand Prix) x Krack C (Grand Prix), is an exceptional mare. During the studbook inspection she achieved impressive scores: conformation 7.5, movement 8.5, walk 8.0, trot 8.5, canter 9.0, and posture 8.5.

In addition, Affidavit passed her IBOP test with 80 points, including a 9.0 for the canter. For posture and balance, rideability, trainability, and talent as a dressage horse, she received multiple 8.0s.

The damline has also amply proven itself. Among others, we find:

Florentina v/d Waalshoeve by Valdez – ELITE, SPORT (Z2), PROK
Hatrick CC Tarpania by Astrix – ELITE, EPTM, SPORT (ZZ-Licht)
* Joint Venture CC by Charmeur – ELITE, IBOP 80, D-OC

The sire of Sunseeker VV, Hermes, hardly needs any introduction. He performed for years at the highest Grand Prix level, achieving among other things a 4th place at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, two World Championship bronze medals (2022), and became Dutch Grand Prix Champion in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

Hermes' sire Easy Game has also amply proven his worth as a sire. Among others, he is the sire of Olympic and European Champion TSF Dalera BB and of Hermes.

Talent literally runs through Sunseeker VV's veins, which she displays daily under saddle. She is willing to work, honest, and possesses high quality, attitude, and talent for upper-level dressage.

Sunseeker was born, reared, and fully trained by us. Her complete history is therefore known. She is friendly to deal with, easy to handle, and shows a good work ethic. Well-behaved with the farrier and familiar with aqua training.

Due to her age, quality, and training level, we are looking for an ambitious rider who has experience with continuing the training of young horses. Sunseeker is not suitable for a beginner rider or someone without experience with young horses.

X-ray approved including neck and back (30-10-2024).

Asking price: €23.750,00 incl. VAT
