About HH Azur

HH Azur is a dark brown sBs showjumping broodmare foaled in 2006, by Thunder van de Zuuthoeve out of a Sir Lui dam.

Currently, there is limited information available on HH Azur's offspring succeeding in the competitive showjumping scene at high levels. However, it is noted that an embryo from HH Azur, sired by the famous stallion Cornet Obolensky, fetched €76,000 in a Flanders Embryo Auction, showcasing the high market interest and potential for excellence in her progeny [https://horsenetwork.com/2023/06/pedigree-stories-hh-azur/].

Own record: HH Azur, a distinguished Belgian Warmblood mare (sBs), was foaled in 2006 and boasts an exceptional pedigree. Sired by Thunder van de Zuuthoeve and out of the mare Sion Van De Zuuthoeve, her bloodlines combine showjumping excellence and versatility. Sion Van De Zuuthoeve, originally bred for dressage, added unique qualities to Azur's genetic makeup, enhancing her jumping capabilities. She was bred by Nathalie Beaufort and has become one of the preeminent figures in showjumping history, managed and owned by Double H Farm in partnership with François Mathy. HH Azur gained her fame through her vigilant performance on the international showjumping circuit, primarily under the adept horsemanship of McLain Ward. She has competed and triumphed in several prestigious competitions, including a 9th place individual finish and a team silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Her career highlight came with her victory at the Longines FEI World Cup Jumping Final in 2017, illustrating her competitive prowess. With numerous Grand Prix wins, including those in Lugano and at the Rolex Grand Prix, HH Azur's career spanned until her retirement in 2023, accruing notable earnings of €4 million in prize money.
