La Belle van Sombeke

The story of the Dam line of La Belle van Sombeke reads like a fairy tale. A fairy tale that is based in particular on the genetic roots of her father's side. Her father Goliath Z by Graf Gotthard, a breeding product from the century mare Heureka, who is also the grandmother of the no less famous Ratina Z (with Ludger Beerbaum), gave this line everything that made the descendants of La Belle van Sombeke so extraordinary. Almost all offspring have proven themselves in sport and are equally impressive due to their constant hereditary power well beyond the fourth generation.

From movement, strength and good reflexes to scope and rideability, this dam line has everything that makes a top sport horse. Offspring from this line are known for their gentleness in handling, but with enormous jumping potential and the will to win when it counts - an ideal mixture for the ambitious sport or leisure rider.

More than half of La Belle van Sombeke's offspring are or were successful in sport, four of them even at the international 1.60m level. One of them Ta Belle van Sombeke, who won countless grand and national prizes under Jos Lansink. Ta Belles Glock's London (Gerco Schröder, NLD), Taran de la Pomme (m. Karline de Brabander, BEL), Golden Hawk (m. Shane Breen, IRL) and A Pikachu de Muze (m. Billy Twomey, IRL ) are four sons who were both licensed sires and world-class jumper on highest international level. Daughter Beauty-Belle van’t Roosakker (by Nabab de Reve) shows the same breeding qualities. Your children and grandchildren almost all end up on the big stage without exception. Mumbai (by Diamant de Semilly x Nabab de Reve x Chin Chin), who already took part in the Olympic Games in Tokyo with his rider Christian Kukuk at the age of nine and finished fourth in the individual ranking at the European Championships in Riesenbeck, deserves special mention.

The consistency of pairing with the best stallions in the world shows how successful Belgian show jumping breeding works, which focuses on proven performance. This makes the La Belle van Sombeke dam line a guarantor for a successful sports career.

The mating with Kannan brought the daughter Ba Belle (also Ba Belle vant’t Roosakker), who also succeeded at 1.60m level. Later paired with Diamant de Semilly there was Ratina Kervec, the mother of our Jingle Star Kervec. Ratina Kervec was already used for breeding during her sports career, which also went up to 1.60m level under top rider Julien Epaillard. The dream pairing with Quick Star is already showing remarkable results. Jingle Star's full brother, Cuick Star Kervec, born in 2012, has already won international 1.60m courses under his rider Shane Breen (IRL). The daughter Babelle Kervec (by Quabrice Bois Margot), who was born in 2011, is also successful at 1.45m level and has offspring who have already started with the sport.

Other well-known offspring from this dam line include Wabelle de Muze (with Damien Haeltermann, BEL), Oak Grove's Heartfelt (with Harm Lahde, DEU), Quabelle (with Blythe Karolyi, USA), Casimir de la Pomme (with Alexandros Fourlis, GRC), Arac du Seigneur Z (with Angelique Rüsen and Christian Ahlmann, both DEU), Taran de la Pomme (with Karline de Brabander, BEL), Walkure van Sombeke (with Wilm Vermeir, BEL), and VDL Groep Eureka (with Maikel van der Vleuten, NLD).
