Kalinka van de Nachtegaele is a chestnut mare, born in 2010, registered with the Belgian Warmblood (BWP) studbook, and she holds Belgian nationality. She was bred by Marcel Jacobs and boasts a lineage that includes Epleaser van 't Heike Z as her sire and Fleur de Lys as her dam. Her pedigree is also linked to the Zangersheide stallion Cicero Z, which provides a strong genetic base for showjumping. Under the training of Swedish rider Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli, Kalinka has excelled in 1.60m showjumping classes. Notable victories include the CSI5*-W 1.60m Defender Grand Trophy at the Helsinki International Horse Show in October 2022 and the CSI5* Grand Prix Hermès in Paris in March 2023. She has career earnings exceeding €646,000, marking her as an elite competitor in showjumping. Within the equestrian breeding community, Kalinka is esteemed for her achievements and her selectively bred progeny. Her rare lineage renders her offspring particularly exclusive, adding to her breeding prominence.

Kalinka van de Nachtegaele has a very limited progeny, with only three recorded offspring, making them exceptionally rare and sought after in the equestrian market. While her offspring have not yet achieved notable success at high levels or grand prix events, the scarcity of her progeny heightens their desirability for breeders and competitors looking to incorporate her elite genetic lineage into their breeding programs.
