The Holsteiner stud Cooper v/d Heffinck didn't miss out on his start in the sport and the stud. Under the saddle of Dirk Demeersman this son of Caretino came second in the 2008 stallion competition for 4-year olds and this past year he finished fourth with the 5-year olds. The stallion Cooper VD Heffinck stands out through his light-footed gallop, exemplary balance and his virtually limitless capacity.
The dam, Etoile VD Thijshoeve, is a daughter of Lupicor who is at the very top of both the Dutch and the German jumping index. Pocket, the grand dam of Jartelle Van De Thijshoeve, is a daughter of Chef de Race Major de la Cour, who didn't just produce top horses in the sport but who is also a fantastic mare progenitor. Also the extended dam lineage of Pocket is a bit French because her mother Dahlia is a daughter of Jazz x Saute Ruisseau.
