Time Out

From the first crop of foals of Harrie Smolder’s Tiger van 't Ruytershof

The licensed stallion Castanova H/André Thieme also descends from this line

Time Out performed with absolute superiority in the loose-jumping at his 2025 licensing in Vechta, showing not the slightest sign of effort even over the highest fences. The blood of the world's best flows through his veins: Chacco-Blue, Cornet Obolensky, Diamant de Semilly, Quidam de Revel and Landgraf I.

His sire Tiger van 't Ruytershof, licensed in Belgium, himself a son of our Chacfly and thus a grandson of our legendary Chacco-Blue, already made a brilliant impression at the stallion competition in Belgium. His sport training has been taken on by none other than Team Vice World Champion, Harrie Smolders/NED. His dam line is also interesting: his dam, Pearl van 't Ruytershof, is the full sister of the Belgian licensing winner Pegase van 't Ruytershof and closely related to the Olympic stallion and ambassador Emerald van 't Ruytershof. Time Out is from Tiger van 't Ruytershof’ first crop of foals.

His dam's sire Dominator Z earned over €1.4 million in prize money with Christian Ahlmann with his victories in the Global Champions Tour steps in Hamburg and Stockholm/SWE, his win in the Grand Prix of Doha/QAT, second place in the Global Champions Tour final in Prague/CZE, and fifth place in the World Championship team final in Herning/DEN. He has produced over 70 licensed stallions, including D’Aganix 2000 Z, who is already placed in 1.60m show jumping competitions, and Querido VG, the World Young Horse Champion and winner in Münster, both ridden by Christian Ahlmann. And then there’s Boleybawn Alvaro, the silver medalist at the World Championships for young show jumping horses, who finished fifth in the final for seven-year-olds. Dowan vd Vosberg/Mohamed Shafi Mohamed Alremeithi/UAE, who has been successful in World Cup show jumping competitions, and the World Young Horse Champion Orange de Baugy, appear amongst the standout performers in sport.

In third place in Time Out’s pedigree is Zinedine, who was placed with Ludger Beerbaum in the Grand Prix in Paris/FRA, London/GBR, Chantilly/FRA, and Shanghai/CHN, as well as at the World Cup competitions in Zurich/SUI, Stuttgart, and Leipzig. From his first crop of foals, he produced the Vice European Champion, Global Champions League winner, and Olympian Zineday/Philipp Weishaupt, as well as the OS champion stallion and Grand Prix winner Zinedream/David Will, one of a total of twelve licensed sons by Zinedine.

His great-grand-dam, Achilla, produced the 1.50m show jumping horse Forlan (by For Pleasure)/Hiroyuki Sato/JPN. Her sister Achini (by Libero H) is the dam of the 1.50m show jumping horse Continue (by Contini). Achilla is also the great-grand-dam of the licensed stallion Castanova H (by Casallco), who has already been placed with André Thieme in Vilamoura/POR, Aachen, and Sopot/POL.

The show jumping horses Cortina (by Copito; 1.60m SJ)/Bliss Heers/USA, Fast Lucca (by Forsyth; 1.60m SJ)/Nicolette Hirt, Continue (by Contini; 1.60m SJ)/Kristaps Neretnieks/LVA, and Angeldust (by Askano; 1.40m SJ)/Dr. Michael Hornung, also descend from the dam line of Nuecke.
