Everglade VDL showed a uniform collection of foals with sufficient development and rectangular-shaped conformation. The neck is often placed vertically. The topline should have stronger connections. Several foals inspected at their home location had toed-in front legs, a trait which was not evident in foals selected by their registered parties. The legs are fine-boned. The walk and trot are light-footed. The canter shows sufficient balance, but the neck stays high, adversely affecting elasticity.
Number of registered offspring in 2013: 16 fillies and 7 colts
Number of foals scored at their home location in 2013: 19 foals
Number of foals present: 6 foals

Lineage
Everglade VDL's sire, Kashmir van Schuttershof (Nabab de Rêve x Tenor Manciais), who was a successful international show jumper under Philippe Lejeune and Gilbert de Roock, is proving himself more and more as a producer of jumpers. Everglade VDL's dam Adea is an elite sport (jump) mare and ZZ-level jumper by Indoctro out of the keur preferent prestatie mare Fodea (s.Nabuur). Bred to Emilion, Fodea also produced Robert Whitaker's Grand Prix jumper Karina. Everglade VDL's great-granddam Beatrir is a preferent Notaris daughter. Paired with Bergerac, Beatrir foaled the ZZL-level dressage horse J-Beau. The dam-line continues with the keur mares Vera (s.Makelaar) and Elfje, a Magneet daughter.
