Sweet and smooth mare (June 2023), bred with a view to higher work.
Sire Colorit Z was carefully chosen. A stallion with power and balance but also a soft character and striking looks. Apart from a fine canter, good jumping manners and comfortable balance, his offspring have one thing in common, according to Zangersheide; that they are loved all over the world and praised for their unconditional dedication.
Along the dam’s side, the spunk comes from grandsire Zirocco Blue VDL. The stallion already has more than 82 offspring jumping at 1.55m/1.60m level. Zirocco Blue himself was among the best in the world as a sport horse: under Jur Vrieling, the Mr. Blue son wrote many Grand Prix, World Cups and Nations Cups to his name.
The dam did not compete due to an unfortunate injury at 4 years old (not congenital). Videos of her free jumping at 3 years old are available, search on YouTube: Givenchy Van Het Heerehof. She is currently still being ridden recreationally.
Chichi Blue is well-behaved. You can brush and groom her with confidence. From day 1, she was put inside and outside with her mother on a halter and rope and worked with her every day. Now she is stabled with one peer and gets many hours outside every day.
Chichi Blue is a horse with a lot of potential, with spunk in it but sweet to handle. Films of free jumping can be requested.
