ENZO OF THE BOOKYARD

A new show jumping stallion, in whom international performance bloodlines from all generations meet outstanding sporting talent. Bøgegårdens Enzo is by Emerald van Ruytershof and out of the top international mare Caprice de Dieu. His damsire is Eurocommerce Berlin. This combination of the most successful bloodlines of that era in international show jumping is unique. The sire is Emerald van Ruytershof. This son of Diamant de Semilly was very successful in international show jumping for several years under Harrie Smolders. Emerald managed to pass this success on to his offspring, making the chestnut stallion highly sought after worldwide. In particular, Emerald's son Igor, who won several important 5-star Grand Prix events with the Belgian rider Jos Verlooy and most recently the Mandato with Christian Ahlmann, is an outstanding horse. The dam of Bøgegårdens Enzo is the show jumping mare Caprice de Dieu. She competed internationally at the 160cm level with Michael Aabo, taking first place in Grand Prix competitions in Uggerhalne, Neustadt Dosse, and Lanaken. Caprice de Dieu also produced two S-level show jumpers: So What by Sandro Boy and Caspar by Chacco-Blue. Her dam is the top international stallion Eurocommerce Berlin. This son of Cassini, who has not yet produced any offspring, won two World Championship titles and one European Championship title with the Dutch rider Gerco Schröder. On the third maternal side is Chellano Z, a son of the influential stallion Contender and a full sister of Corrado. This stallion died at only ten years old but significantly shaped European show jumping breeding in just a few years. The maternal line originates from a high-performing Hanoverian line, with the exceptional mare Carol (herself a Grand Prix dressage and S-level show jumping horse) as her dam.
