Eyecatcher Ter Linden is a striking skewbald stallion with an exceptional pedigree and a family rich in sport horse performance.
He is sired by Emerald van ’t Ruytershof, a stallion who competed at the highest international level (1.60m) and is renowned worldwide as a top producer. His pedigree is further enhanced by the influential sires Querlybet Hero and Nabab de Rêve, both of whom also competed at top level and have made a lasting impact on show jumping breeding.
Eyecatcher's dam line is equally impressive. His dam, Faria van de Moortelshoeve, competed up to 1.25m. Her half-sisters have reached even higher levels: Daiquiri van de Moortelshoeve jumps at 1.55m and Louisana van de Moortelshoeve at 1.45m.
Eyecatcher has a full brother, Nero van de Moortelshoeve, a licensed stallion who competed at 1.40m before his untimely passing. His full sister, Miami van de Moortelshoeve, is currently successful at 1.45m level. D’Harlequine Z, also from the same dam line, is active at 1.30m.
A noteworthy highlight: in 2024, a skewbald foal sired by Emerald out of a half-sister to Faria was sold at the BWP Online Auction—the highest-priced foal ever sold through that platform.
Eyecatcher Ter Linden represents a unique combination of proven sport genetics, a strong maternal line, and an eye-catching appearance.
