These were exciting days, and after a tough delivery in which his mom ,  Thierry, Pedro and Alex were exhausted to give birth to this Emerald foal, it was a joy to see what had been born.

I don't remember ever seeing such a large foal born and thought we couldnt get him out his mom . 

So happy that mom and foal doing it great <3 

Emerald van 't Ruytershof is a remarkable Grand-Prix horse with a strong muscular upper line. He has a lot of quality and suppleness in his legwork, a spacious canter and a very quick foreleg on the jump. 

The mother is "Passionate from Second Life Z", Picasso Z x Tlaloc la silla "Ex Dollar de la Pierre" x Jus de fonteines x Caletto I.

Passionate's grandmother jumps 1.45 m in the USA under Savannah Manac'h , the great-grandmother is the Olympiad horse Roofs (vdl Elise) with Jan Tops .

Passionate's sire Picasso Z is probably one of the most exclusive stallions of this moment, the offspring is very rare. 

The stallion was active at the highest level under Alvaro de Miranda Neto (Doda).
