As her name already suggests, Miss-Cooper is a daughter of Cooper van de Heffinck. In BWP this eleven-year-old son of Caretino carries the ‘elite showjumping stallion’ title. And not without good reason! For several years Cooper performed successfully in international showjumping tournaments (up to five stars) in partnership with Olivier Philippaerts. Some of his highlights: winner in Poznan (4*, 1m50), second place in Spangenberg (3*, 1m50), sixth place in Maastricht (3*, 1m45) and 14th place in Mechelen (5*, 1m45). Since December 2014 Marina Vinnichenko is writing the sequel to Cooper’s success story.

Via her dam, Riquette d’Elsendam, Miss-Cooper inherited the performance blood of World Cup participant Olisco. Stella, Olisco’s dam, is also the dam of legendary progenitor Quickstar. Riquette d’Elsendam is a half-sister to the international showjumper Quick Chin vd Elsendam (by Chin Chin). Partnered with Jan Motmans, Quick Chin vd Elsendam performed at 1m60 level, including first place in the Derby Topsport Vlaanderen (Lummen, 4*, 1m60) and 29th in the Hickstead Derby (4*, 1m60). Picardi Chin van Elsendam, a full sister to Quick Chin vd Elsendam produced, in combination with Dollar de la Pierre, the international showjumper Ayton (Ivonne Balz Zechmann). Freedom van ’t Heike (Thomas Holz) and Gipsy van ’t Heike (sporting name: Gipsy of Heritage, Jesus Torres), both active on the international showjumping scene, also belong to the same dam line of Miss-Cooper. The valuable blood of BWP ambassador Fleuri du Manoir in the dam line completes the pedigree of Miss-Cooper. Despite her young age, Miss-Cooper has already impressed. During the national breeding day of the BWP, 2013 edition, she was laurelled as the champion in the ‘female yearlings, group A, showjumping’ category.
