The international 1.60m-ranked mare Malou proved her talent under various riders. Among her best achievements are the victory in the 1.50m class of CSI3* Münster with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and a second plat in the 1.50m class at CSI5* Mechelen with Marlon Zanotelli. Before her career, Malou produced Malibou Heart (s.Heartbeat), who competed successfully at 1.45m level with Erika Lickhammer. With Real Madrid VDL, she presents a promising candidate for the higher level. Granddam Colinda Z competed at 1.35m level and is a half-sister to the 1.45/1.50m competing Quarlys and Cantys. This direct damline also produced the 1.50m showjumper Faberlys, ridden by Martin Fuchs. Real Madrid VDL inherits exceptional talent from his sire as well. Diamant de Semilly is a long-standing leader in the WBFSH Sire Rankings thanks to offspring such as Emerald van ’t Ruytershof, Don VHP Z, Quickly de Kreisker, Utamaro d’Ecaussines, and Dominator Z.
