Quidam Blue is an international grand prix jumper approved by the German Hanoverian Verband. He is a gem to have in the stable and a beautiful athlete who loves his work and his people. Quidam Blue started his show career by winning the 5-year-old Western Canadian Young Horse Championship. As a young head turner, he collected ribbons at venues such as Spruce Meadows (Canada) under his amateur rider, Beke Brinkmann, and played his way into the 1.30m division. In 2014, he quickly entered the 1.50m level with Olympic silver medalist, Jill Henselwood. Together their highlights include top-three finishes as part of the Canadian team at the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup in Bratislava, Slovakia and the Wild Card SmartPak Grand Prix at Saugerties, New York, and winning the SynOil Energy Services CSI2* Cup at the Royal West in Calgary. He added numerous placings in the 1.60m level in the following years. During his own training, he always impressed his dressage and jumper coaches. Quidam Blue is known to pass on his natural ability for collection, clean gaits and a superb canter, with his offspring suiting both amateurs and professionals. Quidam Blue is the sire of the Champion Hanoverian Jumper Foal (Canada), the high-scoring filly of the Belgian Warmblood Association (North America) and the third-place jumper foal of all KWPN inspections in North America, just to name a few. His pedigree is filled with famous French, Holsteiner and Westfalen jumping bloodlines, including the names of Quidam de Revel, Landgraf I, Come On, Cantus, Pilot and Weinberg.
