MJ joined the Hope House Eventing team in May 2020 imported from Holland. She is a lovely big framed mare with huge amounts of scope, a wonderful temperament and incredible breeding. MJ was awarded ‘Elite’ status at the 2024 Anglo European Studbook gradings, a prestigious award only awarded to horses with near perfect conformation and movement. MJ didn’t score below 9.25 in any aspect of the grading including 9.5 for her walk and trot. Her breeding is a strategic blend of the “N” Holstein line - famous for producing world class jumpers and proven Grand Prix performance blood. MJ is a textbook example of modern Dutch Warmblood breeding, combining extreme athletic scope with the refined movement required for the highest levels of sport and descends from the most prestigious bloodlines in the world of showjumping including Numero Uno, Cor De La Brere, Voltaire and Nimmerdor.

She is a direct decendant of the Merrielijn 24, one of the most decorated and influential marelines in modern showjumping. This line is famous for producing horses with exceptional scope, competitive attitude and extreme longevity in the sport. Mj’s direct damline has produced over 90 horses jumping at 1.40m+, with 21 reaching 1.60m Grand Prix level. Her dam Njirina M, who competed upto 1.35m herself and was a top broodmare for Stal Hendrix, was awarded the prestigious KWPN gradings of “Preferent” and “Prestatie”, status only awarded to mares proven to deliver offspring with good conformation and the necessary talent for the sport along with a number of offspring that have proven themselves in top level sport. MJ’s maternal siblings are already competing successfully at 1.40m level along with a full brother competing at 1.20m SJ and 2* Eventing. Her maternal brother sold for €215,000 at the Dutch Sport Horse Sales.

MJ’s damsire, Amaretto D, is a successful showjumper and winner of the 1991 Wiesbaden Grand Prix. He has two full siblings who also competed at 1.60m, one of which is Apricot D who won team Silver at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics as well as multiple World Cup wins. Amaretto D has sired multiple 1.60m jumpers including KM Nerina, winner of the Falsterbo 5* and runner up in the Linz-Ebelsberg Nations Cup under Jur Vreiling. He brings Hannovarian blood to the pedigree (Alexis Z/Alme Z line) known for scope and athleticism. Hope House Old Fashioned
