Confirmed promise, proved pedigree.

Premier has always been a promising young horse. In 2022, his quality was confirmed when he was crowned Flemish Champion and became Champion of Merchtem. In 2023, he added the title of Champion of Vilvoorde to his record. At the beginning of 2026, Premier achieved an impressive third place at the national championship.

Premier's pedigree speaks for itself. On his father's side, he is descended from Max van Schermershoek, who was crowned Belgian champion in 2018. On his mother's side, we find Bianca van Hazelbeek. She produced a total of 6 approved sons and was twice named national champion with offspring (2018 and 2022). Her mother, Oliva van Hazelbeek, received the same title in 2006 and 2007.

Offspring

Premier’s offspring all show an elegant, refined type with plenty of breed expression, and that quality is being rewarded. Their exceptionally attractive front end consistently stands out. Several of his offspring have already achieved impressive results at various shows.
