Sire of Capone I, CONTENDER:
Contender was ranked third in the list of the world's best showjumping sires in 2004
Sire of Contender, CALYPSO II:
All Calypso II progeny show not only great jumping form, but also a wonderful rideability. He produced winners of one and a half million deutschmarks, with 557 competitors.On the basis of the Hanoverian mare tests, Calypso II achieves a dressage ranking of 131, and a jumping ranking of 167. His breeding index on the basis of his competition horses is 132 for dressage and 150 for jumping.
Sire of Calypso II, COR DE LA BRYERE:
Cor de la Bryère is the stallion that revolutionised jumping horse breeding. His is the name astute breeders like to see, especially on the mare line for ‘Cord’ tends to give great form over a jump.
Cor de la Bryère almost never made it to the breeding barn. In 1970, the selection committee of the Haras du Pin visited his owner, Xavier Ribard and suggested ‘that is not breeding stock, he’s too much of a sport horse. Better geld him; he’ll make a useful gelding.’
A Holstein inspection committee travelled to France to evaluate Urioso and in doing so, discovered Cor de la Bryère. Urioso ended up standing two forgettable seasons in Holstein while ‘Cord’ left an indelible mark on the Holstein breed, and jumping the world over.
Cor le la Bryere's sire, RANTZAU:
In Europe, Cor de la Brye, born in 1968 out of a mare by the Furioso xx son, Lurioso, has without doubt been the most influential son of Rantzau, establishing one of the two mighty C lines that dominate Holstein – and jumping – breeding to this day.
Sire of Capone I's Dam, Winja, is LADALCO:
Ladalco won a silver three day event medal at Los Angeles and was winner of the bronze medal at the individual category and silver medal in team at the Cross Country Competition during the World Champiopnship in Lexington, U.S.A., 1978 with Helmut Rethmeier.
Sire of Ladalco is LADYKILLER:
In his Stallion Book of the Holsteiner Warmblood Breed, Dr Dietrich Rossow had this to say about Ladykiller and his influence:
"With his 35 approved sons and 195 approved daughters, he has had the greatest impact of all on the Holsteiner breed. His best produce came through crosses with mares with some Thoroughbred blood....
Today he must be viewed as one of the most important jumper sires of modern time."
To quote .....Claus Schridde draws attention to its proliferation even on the one set of papers:
Today, where fresh blood in Holstein does not take effect at all, continued inbreeding to the proven ‘classic’ Ladykiller xx is a piece of brinkmanship that demands a great amount of sure instinct by the breeders of Holstein." (from Selected Sires of Germany – A Yearbook of German Sires 2000).
