RIESLING VAN T ROOSAKKER

The international performer COMME IL FAUT, partner of Marcus Ehning, has competed at the highest level in CSI 5*. Son of the legendary Ratina Z and Cornet Obolensky, he is currently ranked 10th in the WBFSH rankings thanks to a high-quality offspring.

RIESLING VAN 'T ROOSAKKER comes from the renowned “van ’t Roosakker” maternal line. His granddam, ELECTRA VAN'T ROOSAKKER, competed at the highest international level, notably finishing 6th at the 2012 London Olympic Games alongside Janika Sprunger. A top-level competitor, she also established herself as an exceptional broodmare, producing several international horses competing at 1.50 m and above, including HORPLEASURE VAN 'T ROOSAKKER, NELSON VAN'T ROOSAKKER, POR FAVOR VAN'T ROOSAKKER, and KAPRICE, winner in Wellington with Kent Farrington

At just 9 years old, RIESLING VAN 'T ROOSAKKER has already established himself as one of the leading horses in Gilles Thomas’ string. Since November 2025, the pair has shown remarkable consistency, delivering 23 clear rounds out of 26 starts.

Among their best results:

• Team winners of the 1.50 m CSIO3* Nations Cup of Lier
• 2nd place in the 1.45 m CSI2* Opglabbeek
• Twice 5th in the 1.45 m CSI2* Lier
• 6th in the 1.45 m Grand Prix of the CSI4* Vejer de la Frontera

These performances are complemented by numerous additional clear rounds. Ease and consistency perfectly define the partnership’s performances.

RIESLING VAN 'T ROOSAKKER is a stallion that combines blood, power, and intelligence. He has good jumping technique as well as great consistency in competition.

The offspring of RIESLING are only 4 years old, and some of them are beginning young horse competitions in Belgium. Among them are ROSIE VDW Z (RIESLING x DIAMANT DE SEMILLY), WATANA VAN TWEE EIKEN (RIESLING x AREZZO VDL), and WISKE VAN HET HOOGEINDE (RIESLING x PARCO).
