\"Nabab<\/a><\/p>\n

1990 – 2015 Bay 173 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breeder: S. de Bruyn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The canny Belgian breeders were quick to spot which way the wind was blowing. They turned away from their French origins and shifted their affections to Holstein, then they were certainly smart enough to see that a new French breeding sensation \u2013 Quidam de Revel \u2013 had emerged, and even quicker to get on the bandwagon. The Quidam son, Nabab de Reve was born in Belgium at the Haras de Reve, but was registered in France. He is out of a mare by Artichaut, a good sire of jumpers at national and international level, including the stallion, Quartz du Vallon, and Orchestre, ridden by McLain Ward to many Grand Prix wins and placings. He was also sire of Muguet de Manoir, a leading sire in France over two seasons.<\/p>\n

In 1993, Nabab de Reve was second in the Belgian 4 year old championships, and two years later, a finalist in the 6 year old class.<\/p>\n

In 2001 with just one rail in the second round, Nabab de R\u00eave was a serious contributor to the victorious Belgian Nations Cup team at Aachen, and that seems to have been his r\u00f4le, solid team member rather than an individual star.<\/p>\n

Under Philippe Lejeune, Nabab competed at the European Championships in Arnhem in 2001 finishing in 45th<\/sup> individually and they were in the bronze medal winning Belgian team at the 2002 WEG at Jerez, where they finished 42nd<\/sup> individually.<\/p>\n

His son Bacardi van\u2019t Lambroeck was licensed by the BWP in 2004. Winsome v d Plataan won the 6 year old World title with David Jobertie in 2005.<\/p>\n

His son, Vigo d\u2019Arsouilles was declared Belgian Horse of the Year 2008, following a win in the Belgian Championships and a 5th<\/sup> at Aachen and went on to prove that he was a real star \u2013 the best horse in the World at the 2010 WEG in Lexington.<\/p>\n

Nabab de R\u00eave was represented by three of his progeny at the London Games, Vigo d\u2019Arsouilles, London (who proved well named, finishing 2nd<\/sup> individually!) and Valentina van t\u2019 Heike, while his son, Kashmir van Schutterhoff, also provided one competitor.<\/p>\n

London celebrated a change of ownership, competing for Glock, but with his regular rider, Gerco Schroeder, with a 3rd<\/sup> in the 2014 Madrid Grand Prix, and as a member of the second placed Dutch team in the Nations Cup at Rome.<\/p>\n

Nabab de R\u00eave was 8th<\/sup> on the WBFSH stallion rankings for 2012. On the 2013 rankings he is in 14th<\/sup> place, with London his highest points earner on 1320, with the second highest, Exquis Walnut de Muze on 520 \u2013 interestingly, both horses are out of Chin Chin mares, as is the fifth highest points earner, Equador van\u2019t Rossaker. On the 2014 standings he is in 15th.<\/p>\n

On the 2015 WBFSH standings, Nabab is in 18th (his son Kashmir is 7th) with 38 points earners, the most successful of which has been Couscous van Orti. On the 2021 standings, there is a nice little switch of positions with his best son, Kashmire. Nabab has moved up to seventh place while his son, Kashmir drops from seventh to \u00a0ninth.<\/p>\n
