About Edward 28

Edward 28 is a Chestnut showjumping stallion foaled in 2005, by Embassy I out of a Fabriano dam.

Edward 28 is a Hanoverian showjumping stallion known for both his breeding legacy and competition achievements. Born in 2005, he was bred by Hans-Heinrich Dittmer in Radbruch, Germany. His ancestry features notable Hanoverian and Thoroughbred lines. His sire was Embassy I, and his dam was Fabienne, a state premium mare. During performance testing at Adelheidsdorf, Edward 28 scored 120.72 in jumping and 142.93 in dressage. Despite his aptitude in both areas, his career excelled in showjumping. His shift from dressage to showjumping was crucial, leading to a silver medal win with Charlott-Maria Schürmann at the 2013 European Young Riders Championships in Compiegne, France. By 2023, he was named Hanoverian Stallion of the Year, acknowledging his deeds and the achievements of his offspring in international showjumping events.

Edward 28 has sired several remarkable offspring, most notably King Edward. Ridden by Henrik von Eckermann, King Edward has achieved monumental successes in showjumping events. King Edward clinched a gold medal with the Swedish team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and further solidified his reputation by becoming World Champion at the 2022 World Championships in Herning, Denmark. His victories continued with a win at the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Final in April 2023.
