Emerald van't Ruytershof. The chestnut stallion with his golden mane, 4 white legs and white spot under his belly is undeniably a striking appearance

His charisma, endless talent and scope, his winners mentality and above all his striking appearance make him not only the favorite of everyone in the stable but also an absolute public’s favorite ... He has the innate X-factor and has grown over the years into a real superstar in the showjumping world.

After years of performing at the highest level with his rider Harrie Smolders, Emerald's progency is proving that he is one of the best sires in the World.

SIRE: Diamant de Semilly is the sire of this extraodinary stallion. Diamant de Semilly was an exceptional showjumper himself and is a proven sire !

This was followed by countless victories at the highest level, with wins in 2013 in the Nations Cup in both Aachen and Gijon, in 2015 they won the Nations Cup in Falsterbo and the World Cup leg in Washington… In the World Cup final in Gothenburg of 2016 they became 2nd, after which they participated in the Olympic Games in Rio and won the Nations Cup in Rotterdam.

After his brilliant career, Emerald retired at the beginning of 2019, to fully focus from then on on breeding. Due to his impressive palmares and qualities as a stallion, and his many successful offspring, Emerald is one of the absolute top favorites among breeders.
