🌿 Mareline Legacy of Poseidon

Poseidon, a 2024 bay tobiano Zangersheide stallion, stands as a living embodiment of his elite maternal heritage. His damline is steeped in generations of purpose-bred Warmbloods, hand-selected for excellence in both show jumping and dressage. With bloodlines tracing back to legendary sires like Samber, Corleone, Gribaldi, and Libero H, Poseidon’s maternal family has consistently produced athletes that excel at the national and international levels — from 1.60m jumpers to Advanced Medium dressage competitors.

Poseidons Dam ´Ëvita E Bella Van De Withoeve Z´(by Eddy Wally)  is a 2011 Zangersheide who herself competed at the 1.20m level. After proving herself in the jumper ring and exhibiting extraordinary rideability, she started her broodmare career at age 7.

🔷 Top-Level Show Jumpers from Poseidon’s Mareline

▪ SAYDOON VAN DE HAAIPANDER (by Kashmir van Schuttershof)A powerful 1.60m international Grand Prix competitor, Saydoon represents the highest tier of modern sport. With unmatched carefulness, scope, and ring presence, he exemplifies the athletic legacy carried through this line. His performances at elite venues reflect the exceptional class this mareline is capable of producing.

▪ URICH D (by Andiamo)A 1.45m level jumper, Urich is a testament to this damline’s consistent ability to generate sport horses that compete at the international level. Andiamo, a cornerstone of European jumping pedigrees, adds further strength and elasticity to the lineage.

▪ GRAPPA (by Bodinus)PROK and sport-predicate approved, Grappa has successfully shown to the 1.40m level, bringing together power and carefulness — hallmarks of Bodinus descendants. Her proven record in the ring showcases the damline’s suitability for high-level sport.

▪ TWO STEP (by Corland)Jumping to 1.30m while also earning accolades in dressage, Two Step illustrates the dual-discipline versatility within the line. Corland’s influence is evident in the consistent, scopey jump and kind disposition seen across Poseidon’s close relatives.

▪ CHIP (by Whitesnake)PROK-approved and successful at 1.30m, Chip is a modern sport type with strong limbs, a quick front end, and elegance — echoing the refined movement and confirmation that typifies this family.

▪ GREATFULL (by Congress)A standout athlete who reached the 1.50m international level. With boldness, reach, and agility, Greatfull is one of the most accomplished jumpers to descend from this lineage, cementing the damline’s place among Europe’s performance elite.

 

🔷 Dual Talent: Dressage Success Within the Mareline

▪ PEARL (by Gribaldi)A registered dressage mare competing to Medium Level, Pearl brings refinement, softness, and balance to this maternal legacy. Gribaldi, one of the most important modern sires in dressage, passes along his signature elegance and elasticity — traits reflected strongly in Poseidon’s type.

▪ VALENCIA COBRA (by Ferro)This sport-predicate approved mare competed through Level 3 Medium dressage. Ferro’s influence adds strength and engagement from behind, ensuring the line maintains balance between athleticism and trainability — perfect for FEI-focused breeding programs.

▪ ORIENT (by Junior STV)Registered at the Advanced Medium level, Orient adds dressage specialization to Poseidon’s genetic portfolio, offering breeders a rare combination of jumping power and dressage aptitude.

 

🔷 Foundation Mares: A Pedigree Built on Icons

Poseidon’s maternal strength is built upon a series of foundational mares that have continued to influence the Warmblood breeding world:

▪ MAMA LEONE (by Corleone x Caletto I x Samber)A cornerstone of this line, Mama Leone combines the unmistakable elegance and color of Samber — the first tobiano stallion approved by the KWPN — with the legendary jumping power of Caletto I. This unique combination delivers brilliance in both form and function, contributing both eye-catching presence and true athletic ability.

▪ AVONDSTER (by Samber)Known for injecting chrome, charisma, and scope into generations of offspring, Avondster reflects Samber’s lasting legacy — a stallion known for producing competitive eventers, jumpers, and dressage horses with strong minds and flashy style.

▪ ROYAL TOUCH (by Libero H)Libero H is one of the most influential sires in jumping history. Royal Touch carries his legacy, offering quick reflexes, modern technique, and carefulness over fences — a valuable addition to this damline’s already powerful foundation.

▪ OSHMIRA & WINTSOR (both by Hamlet)Hamlet, sire of Olympic gold medalist Hickstead, passes on a powerful canter, explosive jump, and uncompromising competitiveness. These mares’ success at the 1.30m level reinforces the line’s global relevance and continued sport production
