Details
Higgins is sired by the best Thoroughbred stallion in sport horse breeding during the last three decades: Heraldik xx.
Heraldik xx is one of those rare stallions who has had offspring compete at the highest levels in all three disciplines. At the WEG in 2010 Heraldik had three offspring in eventing, and one each showjumping and dressage. The countless numbers of internationally successful offspring has brought Heraldik xx to the top of the WBFSH - Sires rankings for event horses for the past 4 years.
Higgins dam line is For Pleasure, Grunstein and Arsenik, all producers of international competition horses. Higgins has been popular in both eventing and show jumping breeding programs. In eventing breeding he has been used on thoroughbred mares and on mares with a high percentage of thoroughbred blood to increase jumping scope and power and to improve the canter. In our showjumping breeding program he has been used on mares that would benefit from an infusion of "blood and refinement" that will not weaken the jump and canter.
His progeny exhibit the quality, athleticism and temperament, characteristic of Higgins himself. At this point in time, injury has taken him away from a promising competition career, but his progeny will soon be seen ridden by the growing list of elite riders breeding to Higgins.
