About Utrillo Van De Heffinck

The pedigree of Utrillo Van De Heffinck is very in fashion for the breeding of successful showjumpers. His sire Clinton was a top competition stallion, including a 2nd in the Grand Prix at Aachen, 4th in the Grand Prix of Rome, and a Bronze Medal at Olympics in Athens. Clinton has been equally successful as a sire with early offspring winning at an international level. Utrillo was one of those early standouts, along with the Olympic horse Cornet Obelenski, both of them bred from mothers by Heartbreaker.

Utrillo Van De Heffinck’s damline is excellent and has given many international winners and stallions. His dam Quintana Van De Borsand has produced two additional licensed sons, Conquistador (Clinton) and Quindoctro (Indoctro). Utrillo’s second dam Fatima Van De Heffinck adds the blood of Ramiro and Furioso. She also produced a licensed stallion and CSI winners.

Utrillo began his international career at 7 years old in Belgium under the show name of Utrillo Z. With his owner/rider Walter Lapertot he obtained his first wins in Grand Prix the following year and has earned high placings in Paris, Surgeres, Fontainbleau, Palaiseau, and Chantilly. He was placed 4th in the GP in Paris,7th in the GP at Surgeres and was classed at the CSI in Chantilly. In 2010, Utrillo came under a new rider - Franke Sloothaak. In May of that same year they won the Porsche Grand Prix.

Utrillo has also been gaining recognition as a sire. The first offspring were born in Belgium and Holland and include Dryden (aka Basje), winner of the 7-year old final at the Belgian Championships and now being ridden by Ian Miller. In France, Utrillo is the sire of some young horses like Delphine VD Hoenderheide, a finalist for the 4-year old French Championships with 13 out of 14 clear rounds, Domino, Dim Sum Mouche, and the eventing winner Best Sun. Utrillo already has six licensed sons, including two with the KWPN.

Like his sire, most of Utrillo’s foals are grey. They are elegant and athletic with pretty heads. In spite of his own size, he crosses best with medium to larger sized mares.
