Sire: Burley RF (Bentley van de Heffinck)

Bay colt by Rose Flats Equestrian’s own resident stallion Burley RF. Brilliant Affair was Reserve Champion foal for register 2 at the 2022 NZWA Foal Championships. An ode to the great type and future potential of this colt.
Grandsire Bentley van de Heffinck was retired after a sports career at 1m50 level with several riders (Guy Williams, Harrie Smolders, Wilm Vermeir) and has become a successful sire having ranked 1st in the sire rankings on HorseTelex for his age group in 2016. He is already the sire of the French 5yo and 6yo champions and the Belgian 5yo, 6yo and 7yo champions (not even Kannan has done this). Proving jumping and his super mentality are deeply embedded in Bentley’s genes. His offspring are awarded for their strong backs, impressive back-end, strength and perfect front-end technique.

Sire’s Sire: Bentley van de Heffinck
In 2016, Bentley is ranked first in the sire rankings on HorseTelex for his age group, his eldest offspring are now 11 years old. Like Cornet Obolensky, Bentley’s breeding includes the winning combination of Clinton x Heartbreaker. His motherline is one of the most prestigious in Belgium and resulted in well-known jumpers like Utrillo vd Heffinck, Upsilon vd Heffinck, Uzi, Conrad de la Vie Z etc. His dam Souvenir was victorious with Wim Vermeir at GP level and his granddam Kinette produced the outstanding Quel Homme vd Heffinck. And don’t forget the presence of the famous Nimmerdor in his pedigree, damsire of our Kannan (WBFSH #2, 2015).
