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 renowned Hanoverian showjumping stallion, celebrated for his breeding legacy and competitive success. Born in 2005 and bred by Hans-Heinrich Dittmer in Radbruch, Germany, Edward 28's bloodline boasts prominent Hanoverian and Thoroughbred influences. His sire, Embassy I, and his dam, the state premium mare Fabienne, contributed to his robust genetic profile. The stallion's performance testing at Adelheidsdorf underscored his dual discipline aptitude with an impressive jumping score of 120.72 and a dressage score of 142.93, though his career ultimately shone brightest in the showjumping arena.
Edward 28's transition from dressage to showjumping marked a pivotal point in his career. He achieved notable success, including winning a silver medal with Charlott-Maria Schürmann at the 2013 European Young Riders Championships in Compiegne, France. This accolade was a key highlight of his competitive journey in the jumping discipline.
As of 2023, Edward 28's influence in the equestrian community continues to be recognized, culminating in his designation as Hanoverian Stallion of the Year. This honour reflects not only his own accomplishments but also the success of his progeny in international showjumping competitions, thereby solidifying his legacy as a significant contributor to modern sport horse breeding.
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.
