Pedigree:
Nordic Blue Hors is sired by the dressage phenomenon Totilas, who gained worldwide fame under Edward Gal. His exceptional sports achievements include titles such as World Champion and World Cup Winner. With Nordic Blue Hors, Totilas now has his sixth son approved by the KWPN. The dam of Nordic Blue Hors is the ster, sport-(dr), PROK mare Demeter B, a daughter of the renowned preferent sire Jazz. Demeter B competed at Z2 level and has already produced a Z2-level dressage horse. The dam line continues with ster, preferent, performance, PROK mare Rhea B, a daughter of the influential German Grand Prix stallion Rubinstein I. Rhea B produced, among others, the Grand Prix horse Athene B. (by Don Schufro), the ZZ-Licht horse Victoria B. (by Florestan I), and a Z2 dressage horse. The highly decorated great-granddam of Nordic Blue Hors is Hera I, an elite, preferent, performance, PROK mare by Belisar. Hera I also produced multiple sport horses, including the Grand Prix horse Ulixes (by Welcome) and several Z-level dressage horses.
