Breeding

Glamourdale was bred by J.W. Rodenburg, a Dutch Breeder located in Oudekerk aan den Ijssl. His sire is the Rheinländer stallion Lord Leatherdale, by Lord Loxley. His dam, KWPN preferent prok mare Thuja, was sired by Negro and is thus a half sister to Olympic, World, and European Champion, as well as current record holder in all three dressage tests, Valegro.[2] He is currently owned by his sire's owners, Danish Olympian Anne van Olst and Gert-Jan van Olst.
