   Sire:  ORLANDO: BWP - bay - born: 1996 - 1.70 m.

Orlando is the perfect stallion with the best bloodlines of Europe. His sire Heartbreaker is presently one of the best sports horse producers in Europe. Moreover, Heartbreaker jumps successfully at Grand Prix level with Peter Geerink. In 1999 they were 4th in the Grand Prix of Aachen and they won the "Championat" of Dortmund. In 1999 Heartbreaker leads the Belgium Showjumping Index with 184,4 points. Orlando's dam is by Darco, a big money earner with his rider Ludo Phillipaerts. They won the World Cup Qualifiers of London and Hertogenbosch and they finished 6th at the World Equestrian Games of Stockholm. In show-jumping, Darco is represented by his offspring Jolly Boy, King Darco, Nistria etc. Orlando's granddam sire Gibramino is a full brother of the highly respected French breeding stallion Quastor and the international jumper Silvana B. In the fourth generation we find the essential thoroughbred influence through Alcanar xx.

\ Orlando's dam Nefista van de Ruiterboshoeve was a breeding mare but also participated successfully at the Belgian Cycle for 5 and 6 year olds and won several regional classes. Orlando's full brother Versace was approved as a sire in 2001. Orlando presented himself superbly in 2001. He won the “style” competition in Aachen twice with a score of 8,9 and 9,3! Also he had all clear rounds in the Classic Cycle for 5 year olds in Belgium. In Lanaken he won the semi final at the World Breeding Championships for Young Horses. He closed his 2001 season successfully by winning the 1.20 m. class for approved stallions in Mechelen. Various offspring of Orlando achieved high rankings at foal championships. One of his offspring was sold to Germany at the Flanders Foal Auction for a record price. The loose jumping competition in Nieuwvliet was won by a yearling from Orlando.

 \ Fransiska's dam Windsortaire was awarded "First Premium" Foal status by the BWP in 1999 and has since been fully approved as a Belgian Warmblood mare. She was a picture perfect foal and is now a lovely 16. 2 hand dark bay mare. Her temperament is equally as impressive as her conformation, movement and jumping style. She is an all around ten! Windsortaire's sire Voltaire, through his offspring, stands very high on the index for both dressage and jumping. Voltaire is the result of crossing two outstanding bloodlines, Furioso II and Gotthard. Due to his high ranking position, Voltaire was given the "keur" and "preferent" predicates at a very early age. Windsortaire's sire, Buntspecht, holds the highest all time score achieved in the BWP stallion evaluations. Windsortaire is now beginning her own career in the jumper ring.  Remarkable bloodlines are evident in her her beauty, athleticism, confidence and style.
