Dominalita Eickenrode has given birth to her first foal in 2026. This colt was given the name Wesperos Eickenrode. Wesperos originates from ancient Greek and means ‘evening’, reference to the time of birth of this foal.
Dam Dominalita Eickenrode is the full sister of Somniator Eickenrode, who was purchased at the end of 2025 by renownd Swiss top rider Janika Sprünger and a half-sister of Splendor Eickenrode, that is currently in the stables of the legendary British rider John Whitaker. These are only the youngest offspring of her dam Briolita, who already produced several successful sport horses up till Grand Prix level.
Briolita, the granddam of this colt, achieved very high scores during the local studbook inspection in Overijssel Ijsselmuiden, in 2009, earning her an invitation to the NMK in Ermelo. She produced the international Grand Prix showjumpers Habab-W (1m60 level) and Giolita (1m50 level), as well as Clementa Sho Z (1m40 level) and Carly-Rae Sho Z (1m35 level). Through her dam, Viberolita, Briolita is a half-sister to the international showjumpers Giberolita (1m40 level) and Entrepreneur, who won team gold under the saddle of Veronique Morsink at the European Championship for Young Riders in 2019. Viberolita’s dam, Polita, competed at 1m60 level and produced the 1m60 GP showjumper Wannahave.
James Billington and subsequently Jur Vrieling recorded numerous victories with Baltic in international showjumping competitions and, by extension, achieved dozens of top 5 places. This KWPN ‘Preferent’ son by Quaprice Z consistently passes on his exceptional showjumping qualities. He produces showjumpers for the highest level. Consider, for example, Leone Jei (10th place individual at the Olympic Games in Paris, winner of the 5* GP in Aachen, two-time winner of the 5* GP in Calgary), Ilex (silver medal with the United States team at the Games in Paris, 2nd in the 5* GP in Aachen, etc.), Faltic HB Z (4th individual at the European Championship in Milan) and Farona (winner of the GP of Caledon).
