Dalila de la Pomme

Dalila de la Pomme was born on the well-known stud farm Haras de la Pomme, belonging to the Baertsoen family.

She started her international career with rider Dorien De Vocht, after which Wilm Vermeir took over the reins and rode her up to 1.50m level. Her strong performance at CSI3* and CSI4* level quickly generated a lot of interest and so she moved to the stables of the Swedish Evelina Tovek. This duo soon competed at the highest level, which resulted in numerous placings and a victory at the Nations Cup of Aachen with the Swedish team.

Dalila is a daughter of Taran de la Pomme, son of Tolano van ’t Riethof and Ta Belle van Sombeke. Her mother, Duchesse De La Pomme, and grandmother, Vici van ’t Plutonia Hof, were both successful at 1.60m level. Dam Duchesse de la Pomme, by Diamant de Semilly, used to compete at international level with the Norwegian Mikkel Flam. Duchesse is also dam of Gentiane de la Pomme, who used to be active at five star 1.60m level with Wilm Vermeir. Grandmother Vici van ‘t Plutonia Hof, daughter of Nabab de Reve, used to jump under the saddle of Ludo Phillippaerts and Francesca Crivellari.

Dalila’s damline also has numerous other horses competing internationally: Fiora van ’t Plutoniahof (CSI 1.55m), Dali v’t Plutoniahof (CSI 1.55m), Idalville d’Esprit (CSI 1.60m), Opaline van ’t Plutoniahof (CSI 1.60m),…

Dalila herself foaled the Zangersheide approved stallion Bachelor van het Hulgenrode Z, and Innocent van het Hulgenrode Z who is jumping at 1.45m level with Tom Schewe.
