Pinacolada van Seldsum

Description

Pinacolada van Seldum, an athletic representative of the Balia damline

In the stallion performance test of the KWPN, the remarkable Pinacolada van Seldsum emerged as the highest-scoring three-year-old showjumping stallion. With a score of 9 for his quick reflexes and six times an 8.5, he reached a striking total of 86 points. He impresses with his work ethic, light-footed canter, use of his body, and athletic scope. Moreover, he is a dream to ride. Last year, Pinacolada van Seldsum and Joy Lammers won the Stal Hendrix-competition, finished second in the KWPN Van Santvoort Makelaars Cup, and was one of the top-performing five-year-old stallions in the stallion competition.

His talents are fully explained when we look at his origins. He bears a striking resemblance to his equally impressive sire Dominator Z, who already triumphed in various 5*-Grand Prixs under Christian Ahlmann. In breeding, this son of Diamant de Semilly is building a strong reputation, with offspring like D’Aganix 2000 Z, Defender VDS Z and Querido VG Z. On the dam’s side, Pinacolada represents the solid Balia damline, and he is a grandson of the international 1.50m-level performing mare Bybalia SMH, ridden by Michel Hendrix and Jeffrey Fields. Consequently, dam I-Nabalia SMH is not only a half-sister to the international 1.50m-level competing Frybalia SMH of Michael Pender but also to the international 1.45m-level showjumper Gin Gin Balia SMH. In the second generation, the progenitor of Grand Prix horses Namelus R contributes his genes, having produced top horses like Tripple X III, H&M Christian K, Brego R’n B and Inflame Go.

The well-developed Pinacolada van Seldsum is a significant prospect for both sport and breeding. His first offspring will be born in 2025.
