About Van Gogh
Van Gogh is a bay KWPN showjumping stallion foaled in 2002, by Numero Uno out of a Bernstein dam.
Van Gogh is a prominent KWPN-registered showjumping stallion, foaled in the Netherlands in 2002. Bred by MTS. Stultiens, Van Gogh is celebrated for his illustrious competition career and significant breeding success. Under the guidance of renowned riders Marco Kutscher and Caroline Müller, he excelled in international Grand Prix events. Notable victories include the GCT Grand Prix of Valkenswaard, and the Longines Masters Grand Prix events in Los Angeles and Hong Kong, accumulating prize money exceeding one million Euros. His performative brilliance earned him the keur predicate from the KWPN in 2016, marking him as a standout contributor to the breed.
Describing Van Gogh's early promise, he emerged as the undisputed winner of the KWPN Stallion Performance Test in 2005, securing impressive scores such as 9.5 for canter and 9.0 for scope. His official retirement from competition in December 2018 allowed him to focus on his role as a breeding stallion at De Wiemselbach, continuing his legacy through his progeny. His lineage boasts robust performance genes, with sire Numero Uno and dam Movera descending from notable ancestors like Libero H and Ramiro Z, respective champions in their own right.
Van Gogh has sired a number of remarkable showjumping offspring who have demonstrated their aptitude in high-level competitions worldwide. Viki Van Gogh, for instance, secured a remarkable second place in the Challenge Cup at the CSI4* Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida, following a 1.50m victory at the CSI4* in Ocala. Another offspring, Happyness, achieved fifth place in a 1.55m class at the CSI5* in Doha, ridden by Ibrahim Hani Bisharat. These performances substantiate Van Gogh's efficacy as a sire, producing offspring with the talent and capability to perform at top international levels.
