Lineage:
Four-year-old Hotspot is a son of the keur stallion Hors la Loi II, who for
years competed at the highest level of the international sport under several
riders. Hotspot's dam, Hermione de la Pomme, competed in the 1.40m; and her dam
Sauterelle de la Pomme had an international sport career. In turn, her dam
Narcotique II de Muze showed in the Grand Prix under Eric Lamaze. Furthermore,
both Sauterelle de la Pomme and Narcotique II de Muze have earned their spurs
as broodmares. The first mare boasts offspring including the KWPN-recognized
stallion Vagabond de la Pomme (s.Vigo ‘d Arsouilles), ridden by Penelope
Leprevost; and three international show jumpers by Crown Z. The second mare,
Narcotique II de Muze, produced offspring including the Grand Prix show jumpers
Boyante de Muze (s.Kashmir van Schuttershof), ridden by Philippe Le Jeune; the
Vigo d’Arsouilles son Farfelu de la Pomme, ridden by Jos Verlooy; Ferly de Muze
(s.Calato), ridden by Gudrun Patteet; and Querlybet Hero (s.Baloubet du Rouet),
ridden by Philippe le Jeune; as well as four international show jumpers.
Hotspot's grandsire, Nabab de Rêve, won the bronze medal with the Belgian team
at the 2002 World Championships in Jerez de la Frontera and produced top show
jumpers including Vigo d’Arsouilles and Glock’s London N.O.P., ridden by Gerco
Schröder. Hotspot's great-grandsire For Pleasure also achieved fame in the
sport, with successes including winning the team gold in the Atlanta Olympics
and capturing the European Championship with the team.
