Baltic VDL, born on 20 May 2006 in the Netherlands, is a KWPN-registered showjumping stallion. His sire, Quaprice Bois Margot, was a Grand Prix jumper, and his dam, Nellandra, is noted for being 'Ster, Preferent, Prestatie' and is a full sister to the Grand Prix jumper Mellandra. Bred by Fam. E. van Ittersum in Giethoorn, he is known for both his athleticism and exceptional jumping prowess. Several studbooks, including KWPN, Hannover, Unire, BH, and SWB, have approved him. Competing internationally, Baltic VDL has shown his skills up to the 1.60m level. With riders like James Billington and Jur Vrieling, he achieved several top-five placings at prestigious events. Noteworthy achievements are his victory in the 1.50m class in Oldenburg, which earned him €2,500, and fifth in the 1.60m GP at Leszno. He accumulated over 25 international top-five placements overall. Baltic VDL, a breeding stallion of high repute, holds the 'Preferent' title from the KWPN and is renowned for siring offspring who succeed on the global stage.
