Helium Blue
Zirocco Blue × Ohio van Padenborre
Helium Blue is the daughter of Zirocco Blue, team gold medallist at the 2015 European
Championships in Aachen and one of the world’s leading sires. Known for his scope, power and
rideability, Zirocco Blue has produced top performers such as Eddie Blue, Glamour Girl, Zuccero,
Elysium and Durango VDL, all successful at 1.60m level and beyond.
From her dam’s side, Helium carries the valuable blood of Ohio van de Padenborre. Despite losing an
eye at a young age, Ohio went on to an impressive international career, placing in major Grand Prix
and Nations Cups. As a sire, he became known for producing offspring with a strong character, easy
canter, and eagerness to jump — including Mill Creek Sweet Dream, Up And Down van de
Padenborre, and Ralphy Utopia de Ransbeck.
Further back, Helium’s pedigree is anchored by the legendary Ahorn (KWPN), a foundation stallion
whose bloodline produced hundreds of international sporthorses, including performers at 1.70m
level, European Championships, and Olympic Games. Combined with names like Quidam de Revel
and Ramiro Z, this dam line brings depth, quality, and proven success.
Originally imported from the Netherlands as a Grand Prix prospect, her competitive career was cut
short by an unfortunate injury. Despite years of careful rehabilitation, the injury resurfaced, limiting
her sport results to 1.20m. Yet in every outing, she displayed unlimited scope, a powerful canter,
exceptional stamina, and the courage to take on any course.
Since 2022, she has been part of our broodmare band, with her first foal by Dourkhan Hero, followed
by two more offspring already showing strong conformation and powerful movement.
