Genetic profile

The breeding values have been estimated using information from sport, inspections and talent tests and in addition the available DNA profiles (genotypes).
The DNA profile of the horse itself is included here.
The breeding values are presented relative to the breeding direction jumping.
An average KWPN show jumper has a show jumping breeding value between 80 and 120.

Lineage: 
Four-year-old Hotspot is a son of the keur stallion Hors la Loi II, who for years competed at the highest level of the international sport under several riders. Hotspot's dam, Hermione de la Pomme, competed in the 1.40m; and her dam Sauterelle de la Pomme had an international sport career. In turn, her dam Narcotique II de Muze showed in the Grand Prix under Eric Lamaze. Furthermore, both Sauterelle de la Pomme and Narcotique II de Muze have earned their spurs as broodmares. The first mare boasts offspring including the KWPN-recognized stallion Vagabond de la Pomme (s.Vigo ‘d Arsouilles), ridden by Penelope Leprevost; and three international show jumpers by Crown Z. The second mare, Narcotique II de Muze, produced offspring including the Grand Prix show jumpers Boyante de Muze (s.Kashmir van Schuttershof), ridden by Philippe Le Jeune; the Vigo d’Arsouilles son Farfelu de la Pomme, ridden by Jos Verlooy; Ferly de Muze (s.Calato), ridden by Gudrun Patteet; and Querlybet Hero (s.Baloubet du Rouet), ridden by Philippe le Jeune; as well as four international show jumpers. 
Hotspot's grandsire, Nabab de Rêve, won the bronze medal with the Belgian team at the 2002 World Championships in Jerez de la Frontera and produced top show jumpers including Vigo d’Arsouilles and Glock’s London N.O.P., ridden by Gerco Schröder. Hotspot's great-grandsire For Pleasure also achieved fame in the sport, with successes including winning the team gold in the Atlanta Olympics and capturing the European Championship with the team.
