Presentation
Le Blue Diamond competed successfully as a young horse and up to 1.50m classes under Jan Vermeiren. Some of the results as a young horse include being champion as a four year old, vice-champion as a five year old, champion as a six year old (Mechelen), and finalist as a seven year old in Gesves.
Olivier Philippaerts then took over the reins, and the new combination quickly found success in five-star competitions. Among other achievements, they ranked in the top ten at CSI5* in Mechelen and Gothenburg. With the Belgian team, the pair secured third place at the European Championships in Riesenbeck and also won the Global Champions League final in Prague. Olivier Philippaerts enjoyed great success with Le Blue Diamond until the end of the year, and during 2024, Thibault Philippaerts has competed with the stallion up to 1.55m classes.
Offsprings
Le Blue Diamond's first foal was born in 2015, and from the first crop comes the stallion Panter JVH. In the second crop, there are two sons approved by BWP, Quito Van den Aard and Look-O-Look Z (also approved by Zangersheide). The offspring have excelled in several free-jumping championships thanks to their ability and carefulness.
Pedegree
The sire, Plot Blue, competed at the highest level of international sport with Marcus Ehning. Plot Blue won, among other titles, the World Cup Final in Geneva in 2010, the Rolex Masters in Paris, the Equita Masters in Lyon, and the Cannes Grand Prix. Plot Blue's dam, Ilotte, also produced the well-known stallion Oklund.
The dam, Diamanthina van 't Ruytershof, was successful at the highest level with Constant van Paesschen. Diamanthina's famous full brother, Emerald van 't Ruytershof, has been even more successful both in sport, with Harrie Smolders in the saddle, and in breeding. Diamanthina has produced three approved sons: Kentucky van 't Ruytershof, Je 't Adore van 't Ruytershof, and Le Blue Diamond van 't Ruytershof.
The grandsire, Diamant de Semilly, competed in international Grand Prix jumping with numerous successes at 1.60m classes. He is a top sire in show jumping breeding, consistently ranking at the top of the international stallion rankings year after year."
