WoSJ Exclusive; " Diarado is the perfect stallion " the quote reads as follows....

"How does the perfect show jumper look in your opinion?"

"It really doesn't matter how it looks if it jumps the way I want. It needs to have an excellent technique, be careful and quick. We prefer horses with long legs that have some blood in them. Diarado (Diamant de Semilly - Corrado) is a gorgeous horse, moves excellent, is rideable and jumps like a god. We want horses like him!"

Breeding has changed so much over the last few years, showjumping is so very different today with the fences becoming much more difficult and the courses far more technical!

You need a different horse today that is lighter and quicker than they used to be. It isn't enough that they can jump high, they also need to be very rideable.

Eros is the image of his father Diarado's new stallion dynasty in showjumping breeding.

Brilliant in his type, superior in his appearance and with extremely precious bloodlines.
A winning stallion from top to toe, combined with fantastic movements and a jet black coat.
His abilities seem effortless, quick and superior with an amazing bascule.

He combines the big names of the Holstein breeding through his dam which is by the outstanding sire Corrado out of a Contender-Lord-Ramiro dam.
Amongst the highly successful descendants of the grand Holstein lineage 318 d2 are the international show jumpers Cabrio/Toni Hassmann, Morales/Dr. Michael Rüping and numerous licensed stallions such as Corofino I and II, Coriano, Crawford, Chello I and II as well as the licensing-champion Camiros.

His sire Diamant de Semilly ridden by Eric Levallois was member of the French gold winning team at the world championships in Jerez and won the team silver medal at the European championships the following year.
Bred for performance, he has been consistently named best sire of young horses; at the French championships in Fontaineblau.
