In the pedigree of U2, who exhibits many similarities to his sire, we find the Olympic top stallion Emerald van ‘t Ruytershof paired with a solid Belgian performance family. With his power, scope, and good front leg technique, U2 demonstrates significant potential for higher-level competitions. His dam Lalalie T&L Z was the most consistent performer among the six-year-olds at the international competition in Oliva last year, where she finished -for example- third in the 1.30m class. In the second generation, the international 1.60m level showjumping mare Souvenir van de Heffinck of Harrie Theeuwes, contributes her performance genes. She has foaled the 1.50m level competing stallion Bentley van de Heffinck (s.Upsilon van de Heffinck) and the 1.40/1.45m level horse Evident van T&L (s.Copperfield von der Held). Besides, she is listed as the granddam of Millie Allen’s 1.50m mount Just Dance T&L Z, and Souvenir is a full sister to World Cup winner CP Aprilla ridden by Sharon Slater.
