Trakehner, Gelding, 4 years, 16.3 hh, Chestnut-Red

Listing Overview

Verhoeven is a striking three-year-old gelding from the renowned Hämelschenburger mare line, the same family that produced Grand Prix competitor Van Deyk and multiple other licensed stallions successful through the levels in dressage, jumping, and eventing. Just lightly started under saddle following his January 2025 gelding, he combines an athletic, long-lined build with three solid fundamental gaits and a sensitive yet cooperative nature. His bloodlines trace through Vilja de Julmond to a deep bench of performance horses including Peter Thomsen's eventing partner Vilano and S-level dressage competitor Valpiano, giving him the genetic foundation serious dressage buyers look for in a young prospect. Raised in a herd environment despite being kept as a stallion through age three, he brings the kind of level-headed sociability that makes these early training months rewarding rather than stressful.
