Aston

Aston was without a doubt one of the eye-catchers of the KWPN Stallion Licensing and the NRPS. At both inspections, he managed to impress with his enormous scope, power, and good balance. With his well-developed type and excellent technique, Aston was selected as one of the KWPN premium stallions and became the convincing champion of the performance test at the NRPS with a top score of 87 points. His pedigree certainly played a very positive role in this; Aston is a son of Aganix du Seigneur out of the Olympic mare Derly Chin de Muze.

Sire Aganix du Seigneur has emerged in recent years as one of the best sires of his generation. One Aganix descendant after another is breaking through at the international level, including Agana van het Gerendal Z, Attoucha, Akarado Hero Z, and so on. Furthermore, the offspring of Aganix du Seigneur stand out from a young age for their power, scope, and quality over fences.

Derly Chin de Muze – the mother of Aston – is famous in both sport and breeding. The For Pleasure daughter jumped under Eric Lamaze and Sharn Wordley at the highest level and even defended the Canadian flag at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In breeding, she produced the 1.60m show jumpers Juju VDM, Japatero VDM, Kontador VDM, and finally the world-famous Killer Queen VDM. Under Daniel Deusser, Killer Queen VDM has been among the best show jumpers of the past decade. She won both the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen and that of Spruce Meadows, Calgary. In addition, she participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021 and won the Grand Prix of Wellington and Doha and the World Cup of Mechelen.

Furthermore, Aston's pedigree goes back to the Nabab de Rêve mare Werly Chin de Muze, who also jumped at 1.60m level, and the legendary Qerly Chin. Thanks to his unique bloodline and remarkable jumping talent, Aston is a very interesting addition to the stallion collection of VDL Stud.
