LIGHTNING STAR OF BG

He is light-footed, careful and clears big fences with ease. The three-year-old Lightning Star of BG is truly a horse for the future. 

His sire, Landino VDL, is a nine-year-old stallion competing internationally at 1.35m level with Wesley ter Harmsel. He is a son of Stakkato Gold, also the sire of Marcus Ehning’s top horse Stargold (winner of the 2023 Aachen Grand Prix). Landino VDL is bred out of the same keur-prestatie mare as Aksai Chin VDL (1.60m GP) and is closely related to the 1.60m GP stallions Bubalu VDL, Pessoa VDL and Montreal VDL. 

Dam Van Leslie is a granddaughter of Olympic stallion Animo through Romantico II. This line also produced the 1.50m level showjumping horse Leaf.
