Birgitt
van der Eyken is back in business with a superb stallion
named Landioso. In the spring she was already commissioned
the position as co-chef d'equipe of the Dutch pony dressage
team and only few weeks later she purchased a new Grand
Prix horse. The former European pony champion already
gave a peak of her talent on this horse in the stallion
show at Gestuet Birkhof in Donzdorf, Germany. Brood
farm and stallion station Birkhof, run by the Casper
family, sold Landioso to Van der Eyken but is still
the only distributor of the stallion's semen
In his younger years Landioso, by Landgraf out of a
Calvados II dam, was successful in show jumping, but
under Heike Görgens he was focussed on dressage.
Now being 13 years old, Landioso won the Prix St. Georges
seven times and placed himself several times in the
top five in the Grand Prix. Parallel with achievement
in sport, Landioso excelled in breeding. His products,
which are featured by a top class conformation and solid
gaits, launched him as a renowned premium stallion.
Birgitt van der Eijken rode her first big dressage
competition with him in Nijmeghen at the 2000 Dutch
Dressage Championships.
