18. EMELON Z - CATNR 21

ABOUT THE TALENT

Emelon Z is a 2025 stallion foal carrying two of the most influential bloodlines in modern sport. His sire, Emerald van’t Ruytershof, enjoyed a stellar Grand Prix career with Harrie Smolders, competing at the Rio Olympics, taking silver at the World Cup Final in Gothenburg, and winning in iconic venues such as Aachen, Bordeaux, Cannes, Falsterbo, and Gijon, while also establishing himself as a world-class sire of Grand Prix performers like Igor and Imerald van’t Voorhof. On the mother’s side we have a proven damline carrying the influential blood of Balou du Reventon and non-other that Glock’s London (by Nabab de Rêve out of a Chin Chin mare), an Olympic icon who earned both team and individual silver at the London 2012 Games with Gerco Schröder, combining power, elegance, and the proven influence of his legendary sire line. Uniting Emerald’s scope, technique, and competitive spirit with London’s Olympic pedigree and refinement, Emelon Z represents a rare and highly attractive prospect for both the sport and future breeding.
