Thor is a homebred out of our incredibly well bred KWPN mare Mjirina M.

He is sired by world renowned showjumping stallion Arezzo VDL who has five generations of Grand Prix Jumpers from both sides; Chin Chin, Heartbreaker, Renville, Jasper and Akteur who all not only jumped at top level, but have sired grand prix jumpers as well. Arezzo VDL enjoyed an impressive career with Grand Prix wins at Helsinki, Olympia, Vestfold, Hertogenbosch and Poznan under Dutch team rider Jur Vrieling. At the 2020 KWPN Stallion Show Arezzo was awarded the predicate ‘Preferent’ for his excellence as a breeding sire.

Several offspring of Arezzo VDL are already jumping at the highest Grand Prix level. Thor’s paternal brother, VDL Edgar M, is said to currently be one of the world’s best showjumpers, winning the St. Tropez Grand Prix and competing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Another paternal brother, Emotion VDL, sold for $175,000 at the WEF Sport Horse Auction.

Thor’s dam, Mjirina M, descends from the most prestigious bloodlines in the world of showjumping including Numero Uno, Cor De La Brere, Voltaire and Nimmerdor. His granddam Njirina M, was a top broodmare for Stal Hendrix and was awarded the prestigious KWPN gradings of “Preferent” and “Prestatie”, status only awarded to mares proven to deliver offspring with good conformation and the necessary proven talent for the sport.

Thor’s maternal grandsire, Entertainer, is a proven 1.60m showjumper and KWPN licensed stallion who’s dam line includes 1.60m showjumpers and 4* event horses. At just 13 years of age he has already produced 7 offspring competing at 1.45m+ and two international eventers.
