Characteristics
Technique and Scope
Best Boy Flores Fargo is a horse who has drawn attention from very early on. Still in development, he already shows excellent natural balance and a great deal of technique from his very first jumps.
Pedigree
Son of the celebrated stallion Emerald van ’t Ruytershof (1.60m — Harrie Smolders, NED), one of the leading sires of the modern generation in world show jumping. Emerald competed at the highest international level, establishing himself as a benchmark for modern, fast and extremely competitive horses. Among his leading offspring are Igor (1.60m — Jos Verlooy, BEL) and Imerald van ’t Voorhof (1.60m — Paul O’Shea, IRL), along with many other international-level horses.
On his damline he descends from the broodmare Gelinotte, daughter of the stallion Wandor van de Mispelaere (1.60m), recognized for passing on strength, elasticity, jumping quality and an excellent sporting mind, with consistent production at international 1.60m level. His half-sister (by the dam), Gelinotte Flores, has been standing out in classes in Europe with rider Giulia Scampini.
