Lineage: 
Heliotroop VDM is from Colonist's first year at stud in the Netherlands. This stallion stood at stud for two years in the Netherlands before being exported to the USA, where he is achieving success. 
A four-year-old, Heliotroop VDM has already earned points. His dam Wunita produced more Manno daughters, including the ster mare Cunita and the elite IBOP mares Enita and Funita. A prolific winner, Funita boasts more than 50 points and captured the 2014 National Mare Inspection championship in the keur- and elite mares division. One of the most renowned Reflex M daughters is the National Mare Inspection competitor Veldroos, who scored 90 points in the IBOP. Heliotroop VDM's dam-line – the famous Fanita-line – has produced numerous keuring- and show horses. Heliotroop VDM's great-granddam Unita produced offspring including the Dutch champion broodmare Aunita (s.Renovo). Unita is also a great-granddam to Sunlight (s.Manno), a past Harness Horse of the Year and winner of multiple singles championships. The Top Sport Mare of the Year and multiple National Mare Inspection champion Taunita (s.Manno) is another product of this line.
