About Padinus
Padinus is a (died 2012) Brown showjumping stallion foaled in 1997, by Heartbreaker out of a Grannus dam.
Padinus, a KWPN-registered showjumping stallion, was born on 25 March 1997. He is recognised for being an approved stallion with the Anglo European Studbook, although he lacks a detailed competition record in major equestrian databases. Sporting a brown coat and standing 1.70 meters tall, Padinus has been archived as deceased, although the date and circumstances of his death are not detailed in available records.
Bred by H. Poppelaar, Padinus's pedigree is notable for its strong showjumping lineage, being sired by the influential Heartbreaker, a descendant of the eminent Nimmerdor. Despite the absence of competition results, Padinus's significance in breeding circles is reflected through his successful progeny.
Padinus has been a productive sire with several of his offspring making notable impacts in the showjumping arena. Aristoteles V, a progeny of Padinus, has successfully competed at high levels with Jonathan McCrea, achieving victories in Grand Prix events including in Saugerties and Bromont in 2018, as well as the Grand Prix of Ocala in 2016. Another successful progeny, Frasier, has demonstrated potential in CSI3* competitions with Dennis van den Brink. These offspring underscore Padinus's influence as a breeding sire in showjumping.
Padinus died in 2012. Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
