Boston VDL was the only KWPN-stallion to jump double clear in all rounds of the KWPN Stallion competition for 4 yo and he was the winner of the final in Den Bosch as well. This made him the convincing champion of the 2023/2024 stallion competition.

Sire - Boston VDL is a son of Baltic VDL, who has already been declared ‘Preferent’ and has made his mark in the international show jumping sport. Baltic VDL's most famous offspring are undoubtedly Leone Jei ridden by Martin Fuchs and Faltic HB ridden by Ben Maher. 

Damline - His dam Jeune Dame VDL is bred out of the successful broodmare B Dame VDL. She produced, among others, Icoon VDL, now known as Rock of Cashel; under the saddle of Hessel Hoekstra, Icoon VDL won the Grand Prix of Eindhoven, placed third in the Grand Prix of Falsterbo and was travelling reserve for the World Championships in Herning. Today, Rock of Cashel can be seen with Cian O'Connor and Tom Wachman. Boston VDL's great-granddam Notre Dame also produced several approved stallions and international jumpers, such as Bordeaux VDL, Taloubet VDL and Kingsland VDL. Furthermore, this famous Holsteiner line 242 produced, among others, the foundation stallions Ahorn and Joost.
