Capital Crystal is billed as a winner at any level, and her pedigree is one of the strongest in the mare section. She is by Capital Cornetblue Floreval Z, the Zangersheide son of Cornet Obolensky, the 2025 WBFSH number one sire and Beijing Olympian, out of a Chacco-Blue mare. This alone is a top-class start.

Her dam side matches it. Crystal’s dam, Capital Felicita, is by Quickly de Kreisker, the Diamant de Semilly stallion who rose to world number one in the FEI jumping rankings under Abdelkebir Ouaddar. His sire, Diamant de Semilly, was a World Equestrian Games team gold medallist and twice the WBFSH number one jumping sire. Felicita’s own dam, Epode de la Rose, is by Verdi TN, the Dutch team’s Olympic, World and European medallist. Three genuine championship names in three generations of the dam side is exceptional.

Under saddle, Crystal is powerful, opinionated and incredibly talented, sensitive in the best way and blessed with an exceptional work ethic. She is a mare with the pedigree and the ability to aim as high as her rider dares, a real prospect for the top level.
