Pedigree :

Cardento  Capitol I 
B-Estelle 
Vantiels Esprit (Elite, Prest, Sport-(Spr), PROK)  Baloubet du Rouet 
Esprit (Ster, Prestatie) 
Carrera VDL Maastricht, J. Vrieling (NED)

Carrera is a striking and interestingly bred horse from a combination of two Olympic stallions.
Sire, Cardento, won three Silver medals under Peter Eriksson at the Olympics, the World Championship and the European Championship. As a sire Cardento is a producer of international jumping offspring who participate at European and World Championships and the Olympic Games.
Grand sire, Baloubet du Rouet, was Olympic Champion with Rodrigo Pessoa; a three-time winner of World Cup Finals; and also claimed the winner’s sash in several GP’s and World Cup Qualifiers. Baloubet du Rouet is also famous as the sire of VDL Bubalu, Palloubet d’Halong and Chaman among others. Continuing in the line is Nurzeus, a stallion that sired many good jumpers such as Midnight Madness, Zippo, Ennio, etc.
Carrera’s dam is an international 1.45m jumper, and is a half-sister to the famous international jumper stallion Tinka’s Boy, winner of many GP’s and World Cup Qualifiers plus the final with Markus Fuchs.

Palmares

Carrera shone under Jur Vrieling with whom he was successful at the highest level. Carrera started strong with the winning of the Grand Prix Vestfold. Before he won the Grand Prix of Wolden, a 1.50m class in Bonheiden and in Oldenburg. With the Dutch team Carrera won the Nations Cup in Drammen. Carrera unfortunately had to end his career prematurely due to an injury.

Offspring

The Grand Prix stallion Carrera combines the genetics of Cardento and Baloubet du Rouet with the damline of the legendary showjumper Tinka’s Boy. Along with his outstanding pedigree, Carrera passes his great jumping qualities on to his offspring.
His offspring stand out for their jumping technique and athleticism, already performing at the highest level. Jup won the Grand Prix of London, while the talented Lena VDL placed second in the GP of Ocala. Cadillac Z claimed silver at the Junior European Championships and was previously crowned Dutch Junior Champion. In 2024, Kallmar VDL achieved no fewer than nine international victories, and Carabella vd Neyen Z triumphed in Maastricht. These and many other successful offspring underline Carrera’s potential as a top sire.
