Cohinoor

Cohinoor has a pedigree to dream of: Olympic world-class sire Cornet Obolensky combined with the true producer of showjumpers Stakkato and the Holsteiner legend Contender. Ridden by Marco Kutscher, Cornet Obolensky was among the world's best jumpers and now he is even more famous for his fantastic offspring. Wonderful show jumpers Cornet d'Amour, Cornet's Cristallo, Clooney, Cornado NRW and Comme Il Faut are just a few examples of top horses sired by Cornet Obolensky. Grandsire Stakkato has jumped at the highest level for many years and is indispensable for today's breeding as both sire and as dam's sire. The legendary Contender is also represented by his offspring at the highest level, for example Chiara, Carlo and Colore.

Cohinoor's damline has already been successfully combined with top sire Cornet Obolensky - dam Sophia is none other than the half-sister to the Westphalian approved stallion Cornwall, a son of Cornet Obolenksy born in 2008. Ridden by Christian Kukuk, rider at Ludger Beerbaum Stables, Cornwall already jumps at the international 1.40m level. Additionally, the Westphalian and Hanoverian approved Call Me Number One is also a son of Cornet Obolensky being bred out of the same damline as Cohinoor. Call Me Number One jumps at Grand Prix level, ridden by Richie Moloney.

Cohinoor was approved by the KWPN with a fantastic score of 83 points and was one of the highlights of the KWPN Performance Test. Cohinoor scored an 8.5 for reflexes, technique, rideability and attitude and talent as a showjumper. For the remaining jumping components Cohinoor earned 8's. Cohinoor stands out due to his appealing, blood-type model and his light-footed way of moving. At the fences, Cohinoor impresses with his reflexes, technique and easy way of jumping.

Expected jumping index: 158.

Cohinoor: the valuable genes of Cornet Obolensky and Stakkato and impressing with his own scores.

Impressive VDL

Impressive VDL is a typical offspring of the sire Douglas with very much power. Through father Douglas flows the precious blood of Darco and Capitol I in the veins of Impressive VDL, which are strong features only strengthened. In breeding Douglas has evolved in recent years into one of the best producing Darco sons with successful offspring as Dougie Douglas (Katherine Dinan), Guru (Federico Fernández), Suma's Zorro (Sameh El Dahan) Dassler (Louise Saywell) Carneyhaugh Manx (McLain Ward), et cetera.

Impressive VDL's grand sire Contender hardly needs further explanation as one of the most influential Holsteiner stallion of the past decades and also Corofino I and Lord are essential in today's breeding.

The dam line of Impressive VDL is full of sport and approved stallions. Mother Atendri is preferent, provisional Keur and half-sister to:|Corrido - Holsteiner Verband approved stallion that international jumping under Nisse Lüneburg

Prestigious - the successful international show jumper Dirk Ahlmann|Salina IV - mother of the wildly successful Grand Prix jumper For Cento with rider Jos Lansink, the talented Quinta with rider Phillipp Schober and the approved stallion Quidman Denfer with rider Thomas Velin.

The KWPN approved Fernando, who Johnny Pals finished fourth in the Grand Prix of La Baule, the mighty Grand Prix jumper Cocodrillo (Juan Carlos Garcia), the AES Stallion Champion Goodluck VDL and stallions like Silverstone VDL and Chuck Z are closely related to Impressive VDL.

Impressive VDL was approved with the KWPN with a high score of 82.5 points. In the performance test the generous Douglas son was celebrated for his ability, attitude and reflexes, which he thrice earned a 8.5. Also jumping talent was rewarded with a 8.5. His power over the jump and quick reflexes make Impressive VDL an asset for breeding.

Expected Breeding Value: 139

Impressive VDL: Mighty Douglas son from a real sport line.
