ABOUT
Colestus x Chanti’s Champion x Heartbreaker x Baloubet du Rouet
This genetic gem is closely related to the legendary Explosion W!
Her sire, Colestus, is becoming a true legend in sport horse breeding. His offspring include Greya (Kent Farrington), winner of the WBFSH World Breeding Jumping Championships; Chuck Marienshof (Gilles Thomas), winner of GCT Grand Prix classes in Shanghai and Madrid; Cellagon Cascais (Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann); Colestus Cambridge (Katharina Rhomberg); Korbach van de Renger (Charlotte Jacobs); Colonello (Johan-Sebastian Gulliksen); Dexter (Lance Whitehouse); and many other horses competing successfully on the international circuit.
Her dam, Charina MB W, is a daughter of Zarina III, who is proving to be a mare of exceptional breeding quality.
Zarina III has already produced the nine-year-old Iron Dames Michael Jackson W, competing successfully at 1.55 m level. Recently, he achieved victories in Valkenswaard and Munich with Sophie Hinners. With Richard Vogel, he also claimed multiple victories in Tryon and Wellington last winter.
Her approved stallion son Liamant W VDL is competing at 1.45 m level with Siebe Leemans and is now continuing his career with Marriet Smit-Hoekstra.
The young Narina I W (by Thunder van de Zuuthoeve), ridden by Tom Schewe, is already competing successfully at 1.45 m level. She has won in Lier and Oliva, with second-place finishes in Riesenbeck and Kronenberg. As a six-year-old, she finished sixth in the World Championship Final in Lanaken.
The KWPN-approved stallion Rising Blue is also a son of Zarina III. He won the 2025 KWPN Stallion Competition.
Zarina III’s half-brother Explosion W is a true legend with Ben Maher. His remarkable career includes Olympic Champion at Tokyo 2020, individual silver and team bronze at the European Championships in Rotterdam, victory in the GCT Super Grand Prix of Prague, and wins in the GCT Grand Prix classes of London, Rome and New York, alongside numerous other top international results.
Her great-granddam Untouchable also competed at the highest level of the sport with Leon Thijssen.
