Will Johnny Depp later become as big of a world star as his namesake? His pedigree contains at least a few showjumpers that prove it themselves or have proven it in the top showjumping scene. His sire, Jenson van ’t Meulenhof, is by Vagabond de la Pomme (5*, 1m60 level) out of Narcotique de Muze IV, an international GP dam belonging to the world famous Qerly Chin line. Rider Niels Bruynseels experienced glorious moments with Jenson during the most difficult five-star tournaments and achieved for instance silver in the final of the Nations Cup in Barcelona, the 4th place in the GP of London and the 5th place in a 1m60 class in Aachen.
Expectations around Johnny Depp NN are high. Not only his sire’s line is responsible for this, but also his dam’s line. Kiss Me van Thiunas, Johnny Depp’s dam, is a full sister to Gigolo van de Roshoeve, a 5* Grand Prix gelding with whom Albert Zoer, amongst others, performed at the highest level. Johnny Depp’s granddam, Vinny van de Roshoeve, produced another international performer in addition to Gigolo, namely Fleur van de Roshoeve (1m50 level, Paolo Paini). The Westphalian progenitors Polydor and Frühling complete the picture. Johnny Depp NN Z emphasized his showjumping qualities during the autumn stallion approval of Zangersheide in 2020 and was approved.
