Lineage:
Edinburgh's sire is Vleut, who achieved international success in Grand Prix show jumping under the name Guccio with Edwina Tops-Alexander.
Edinburgh boasts very interesting bloodlines and comes out of a dam-line which has produced numerous sporthorses. His dam Olympic Queen, a keur sport(jump) mare by the jumper sire Darco, competed in the 1.35m and produced a 1.40m horse. Edinburgh's granddam First Lady (s.Wisconsin) earned the keur, preferent, and prestatie predicates. Her offspring include the Grand Prix jumper Nirvana (s.Concorde), a 1.40m horse by Lux, two 1.35m horses by Concorde, and 1.30m horses by Voltaire, Fedor, and Lux. First Lady is also the granddam of the Grand Prix horses Tyson (s.Numero Uno) and the KWPN-approved stallion Tadmus (s.Calvados). Edinburgh's great-granddam Wieteke also earned the keur, preferent, and prestatie predicates. She is a daughter of the English Thoroughbred Cadmus xx. Wieteke's offspring include an international show jumper by Damiro, a 1.35m horse by Wisconsin, and a 1.30m horse by Quattro. In addition, Wieteke is the granddam of the Grand Prix jumper Patries (s.Wolfgang). The dam-line continues with the preferent mare Lady, an Amor daughter.
