Story
Dalida vd Heffinck became world-famous in 2017 when her son, Scuderia 1918 Halifax van het Kluizebos, was acclaimed world’s best jumping horse. Together with the Italian top rider, Lorenzo de Luca, this exceptional stallion dominated the international scene that year, winning at 5* level in Paris, Mexico City, Cannes and Miami, ending 2nd at the prestigious 5* Grand Prix in Windsor, and gaining a 3rd place at the challenging World Championship in Mechelen. He secured his position as the best horse in the world by winning the 5* Grand Prix in Rome in 2018. Today, Halifax is a promising full-time breeding stallion.
The success story of Scuderia 1918 Halifax van het Kluizebos starts with his mother, Dalida vd Heffinck, who herself descends from a very special and successful sporting family. She is a sister of the stallion Upsilon van de Heffinck and also of Versace van de Heffinck who competes at 1.60m level. The damline has dozens of sport horses jumping at the highest level, including Quel Homme vd Heffinck as well as Bentley and Souvenir vd Heffinck.
Dalida vd Heffinck is a world-class broodmare herself, being dam of brilliant sport horses from various stallions. Halifax combines the genes of Dalida vd Heffink and Heartbreaker, while his younger brother, Cha-Cha-H by Chacco-Blue, already started performing exceptionally well at the age of 2. He was approved by the jury at the stallion show in Oldenburg and subsequently sold at auction for €300,000.
