Born on a respected stud farm in Leiden, Netherlands, Shadow comes from a line of well-trained Thoroughbred–Warmblood crosses known for their balance of strength and temperament. His sire, Night Voyager, was a regional show jumping competitor admired for his precision and power, while his dam, Silver Whisper, was celebrated for her agility and calm nature in trail and endurance riding. This blend of competitive bloodlines and gentle disposition has given Shadow both the energy to perform and the steadiness to teach — a rare and valuable combination for a training horse.
