Ermitage Kalone
|
|
Breed: Selle Francais
Height: 17hh, 174cm Colour: Chestnut Country of Origin: Belgium Ermitage Kalone is by the exceptional stallion, Catoki, who is the sire to more than 20 approved sons in Germany, including Canoso who received a perfect 10 for jump and Coolio, who was the 2016 Hannoverian Sales Topper at €140,000. 2016 was the “Catoki year” with many top performers such as Eric Navet’s Catypso who won the World cup GP in the USA, Ludger Beerbaum’s new rising star Cool Down, Cordel, Carriere, Contanga… all GP5* winners. This still relatively young stallion has become a favorite amongst the crowds where ever he goes. His attractive looks and outstanding temperament only add to how exceptional he is. It’s his success with his rider, Gilles Thomas, however, that makes him so remarkable. |
Ermitage’s dam is the Kannan daughter, Belleaventure Kalone, who was injured as a young horse and was only used for breeding. Ermitage is her first product. His grandmother Blague du Maury jumped at 1m35 level herself. She is the mother of Vertige Kalone (Berlin) who jumps at 1.45 level and also Prestige Kalone (Potter du Manaou) who jumps 1.60 under Phillippe Rozier. Jasione aa his 3rd mother is also the dam of the stallion Quercus du Maury and grandmother of the well-known Anglo-Arab stallion, Fusain du Defey. This Anglo line is a very well-known and sought-after line for its sport horses as well as the approved stallions that have already emerged from it.
Although still very young (the first were born in 2018), Ermitage’s offspring have already proven their worth. Sunday JM placed 3rd at the BWP stallion approval 2021, Soliel Optimus was approved for BWP and purchased by VDL Stud, Extreme D’Emma Z was the eye-catcher at the BWP stallion approval 2022, and Ultra Star JM and Vitalis JS were both BWP Stallion Approval Champions in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Catoki
Catoki had an exceptional jumping career, which started with a number of wins in the young horse competitions, including earning the title of Reserve Bundeschampion of the 5 year old show jumpers in Warendorf in 2003, and the following year he finished fifth in the finals of the 6 year olds. From then on the international successes kept coming. Partnered with Philipp Weishaupt Catoki had many wins and placings at Grand Prix level starting in their first year, 2009. In 2010 they won the Vigo Grand Prix, and were second in the Bordeaux and Helsinki World Cup qualifiers as well as the Hickstead Nations Cup. 2011 saw them win the Bordeaux World Cup qualifier, and a week later win a 1.50m class at Vigo. They were also part of the 2011 winning Nations Cup team at Hickstead, and placed in grands prix’s all over the world.
Catoki descends from the famous Holstein line 4705. His sire, Cambridge, sadly died too early, but not before being crowned 1993 Vice Bundeschampion and winning numerous international competitions. Cambridge was by the impressive Caletto I, who sired many grand prix showjumpers and licensed stallions.Damsire Silvester is best know for his offspring who won more than 1.2 million Euros in competition, and include the top international dressage horse, Silvano. Catoki’s dam, Bilda, also produced the licensed stallion Casco Z, whilst the grand-dam, Vordula, produced the sires Lago and Laurenz. Great granddam, Limburg, is the dam of Rocadero who won the 1982 Holstein licensing.
In the third generation of Catoki’s pedigree we find Cor de la Bryère, one of the most influential sires of modern warmblood breeding.

Cornet Obolensky
Cornet Obolensky, the phenomenon of ‘never before’ (courtesy of http://cornetobolensky.com)
Never before has a stallion been so successful. Never before have we seen a stallion dominating all the international events with his first crop. Already 21 (!!) of Cornet Obolensky´s oldest offspring have advanced to the highest level of show jumping. Never before has a stallion been so prepotent in passing on his talent for top-level sport.
From the moment Cornet Obolensky set foot in the world of breeding, riders as well as breeders have been fascinated by this charming grey. At the 2001 Westphalian stallion inspection the audience watched breathlessly as this product of the golden combination Clinton x Heartbreaker just seemed to flirt with the jumps. In the 30-day test this phenomenal athlete received a 9.24 score for jumping aspects and a 10 for free jumping.
Once the stallion was teamed up with Marco Kutscher in the saddle the admiration for Cornet Obolensky´s jumping talent simply rocketed. The combination qualified for the Bundeschampionat´s finals with scores others can only dream of. With a casual ease they conquered the world´s most difficult courses as if it were child´s play.
Cornet Obolensky´s first crop of sons saw the immediate approval of top-class stallions Cristallo I (1.60m classes with Henrik von Eckermann), Cornado NRW (1.60m classes with Marcus Ehning) and Conte Bellini (the absolute revelation of the 2013 World Cup Finals in Göteborg under the Latvian rider Kristaps Neretieks). And there is Daniel Deusser´s phenomenal ace Cornet d´Amour, who also stems from Cornet Obolensky´s first crop. In 2013 this combination won the German Champion´s title and seized individual fourth place at the European Championships in Herning. Cornet Obolensky´s first crop also produced Marco Kutcher´s current top horse Cornet´s Cristallo and Emanuele Gaudiano´s EC star Cocoshynsky.
And it´s still early days for this already unparalleled career in the worldwide breeding scene of show jumping horses. At this stage Cornet Obolensky has at least 32 offspring competing at 1.60m level and we´re still counting. All these horses will be turning ten or eleven in 2014. What does this hold for the future?
Never before has a stallion so prominently shown to be in a class of his own. Never before has a stallion been such a proven progenitor for passing on his talent to his offspring.
Darco is a legendary showjumpig & breeding stallion, who competed at the top level of show jumping and has produced over 3000 foals in his breeding carear many of which have become succesfull showjumpers. Once again, Darco’s story, is the story of an exceptional broodmare - in this case, his grand-dam, Atoucha. Born in 1959 in Holland the mare was purchased by Fons Pauwels in 1960. Mr Pauwels was looking for a real ‘all-rounder’, a horse for both work and play. And this she did - working in the fields and in her ‘spare’ time, competing in dressage, showjumping and eventing competitions. She was twice - in 1968 and 1970 - the Belgian Eventing champion for Rural Riders, and three times a competitor at the European Rural Championships. According to her proud owner {and quoted in Leen Devocht’s excellent article on Darco in Breeding News, January 1997} her qualities were a legion: "very strong, healthy; not a single day of sickness in her book, an immense capacity for recovering; everlasting carefulness, even as an eventer; not a single refusal; always fighting and daring like a lioness - she could eat fences raw." Atoucha gave birth to eleven foals - ten fillies and one colt, Salvador, who went on to win the Berlin puissance. Darco’s dam, Ocoucha (by Codex} is the eldest daughter of Atoucha’s third daughter, Latoucha (by Faust}. Bred to one of the greatest of Belgian jumping stallions, Lugano van la Roche, Ocoucha produced Darco, who went on to prove himself a tough competitor on the international jumping scene.
Darco, who went on to prove himself a tough competitor on the international jumping scene with Ludo Phillippaerts. In 1988, Darco won his first World Cup qualifier, at Olympia, the following year, he won another Volvo for his rider, this time at s’Hertogenbosch. Darco and Ludo were sixth at the WEG in Stockholm, and 7th at the Barcelona Games. Ludo has this to say about the stallion: "Together with Darco, I began my international career. A horse to remain grateful to for the rest of my life. Darco really has everything it takes to make a unique super crack, as a showjumper as well as a sire. Horses of this outstanding quality will remain the great exceptions in the horse breeding industry. I will never forget the fine intelligence he so often proved in the showjumping arena, where he always showed lots of power and stamina coming from his high-bred ancestors." "I got Darco when he was five years old – he was a breeding stallion. All my success was with Darco, and then he was breeding at my place, and I had many of his foals.
All his progeny seem to be very good, and there are lots of people in the area, who use Darco, and they also give me horses by Darco to ride. My father was a horse breeder and had horses when he was younger." "The mares from Darco are not really mares for competition, they are mares for breeding. There are not so many Darco mares in the sport, they look a little difficult to ride but they have quality and they produce very good foals. There are many stallions in Holland and Belgium and France that can breed good foals with Darco mares. It is not necessary to have a particular stallion." Ludo Phillippaerts has had amazing success with offspring from Darco icluding his son Parco who is also showing himself to be a succesfull breeding stallion. In the WBFSH standings for 2013, Darco finished 7th, and 3rd in 2012. His most famous offspring is Otterongo who just missed out on an individual medal at the Sydney Olympic Games. Darco is a rather solid type and cross best over elegant mares with lots of blood Darco is one of the most succesfull BWP stallions of all time and was awarded their highest honour of "Ambassador" of the BWP studbook, he was also the best sire in the world according to the WBFSH ranking for sporthorses in 2007.

Over a period of of thirty years, the "Preferent" G Ramiro Z's performance as a sporthorse and breeding sire has clearly earned him the well deserved titles 'Stallion of the Century' and "King of Sires." Bred in Holstein, born in Westfalia, licensed at Neumünster, Ramiro Z was an international performer under Fritz Ligges, a stallion that has had a far reaching influence on the greatest acheiving sports horses of today. Ramiro was one of the first Holstein stallions to actually appear in competition unlike many others of that era. During his own sporting career he had numerous wins at all levels of show jumping including Nations Cups, Puissance (jumping over 2.2 metre) and in international Grand Prix competition.
Ramiro was the most popular progenitor of the Anglo Arab stallion "Ramzes" and by far the most frequented sire in Germany at that time. He stood at stud in Westfalia, Holstein, Zangersheide and Holland. Numerous sons and daughters conserve and pass on his valuable genes providing excellent rideability, movement and jumping talent. It comes therefore as no suprise that we find Ramiro's children and grandchildren at the top levels of showjumping and dressage today. A quick glance through the WBFSH rankings, some 15 years after his demise we can clearly identify the success of his descendants.
When Ramiro was presented for selection, he was described as the ideal type of the modern Holsteiner - strongly imprinted by his dam, a stallion of substance but lighter than the traditional Holsteiners of his time inheriting the strong topline of his , maternal grandfather the Thoroughbred stallion, Cottage Son xx. In movement Ramiro displayed a very good walk, a good trot, with an exceptional canter.
Presented at Ermello in Holland for acceptance into the KWPN studbook in 1980 he received a 9 for stable behaviour and Character. Ramiro's influence on the Dutch Warmblood breeding was, and still is of utmost importance. The Dutch awarded him the title 'Horse of the Year' in 1992 and went on to sire no less than 12 KWPN approved sons, to list only a few, Almiro, Architecht, Damiro, Diro, Elmero B, Bernstein, Royal Bravour and the ZZZ level dressage stallion Zeoliete exported to the USA, out of the Keur Pref Preferent mare, Sargab" (Abgar x Nimrod)

From his first breeding season, he sired the fabulous mare, "Fatinitza" out of a the Holstein mare "Pommerantz" Loewnjaeger x Heidleberg) show jumping victory after victory under Fritz Ligges and Thomas Frühmann, and later mother of the Zangersheide stallion, Almiro Z when bred to Almez Z. Ramiro's second season saw him in Holstein where he produced three stallions: Rinaldo (out of a Trakehner x Holstein mare), Rio Negro, (Pernod x Zew xx) who became a Grand Prix dressage horse, trained by Willi Schultheis, and L Ronald out of a Heilbutt x Monarch mare. L Ronald was for many years a popular stallion in Holstein, where he sired five licensed sons and more than a hundred top broodmares, many of whom became mothers of sires such as Alcatraz, Lord Incipit, Larno, Le Grand - all exquisite and excellent sporthorses. L Ronald, like his famous father, went to Holland - where he stood for five years, and also sired, the KWPN show jumping sire Saluut who appears in the pedigrees of Libero H by Landgraf x L Ronald and Hatttick, Ahorn x L Ronald.
In addition he became the strongest and most successful sire for Leon Melchior's performance breeding program at Zangersheide. Whilst at Zangersheide Stud Ramiro was presented with a selection of superbly bred jumping mares including the famous foundation mare, Heureka Z who competed successfully up to 1.60m Internationally.

Black imported licensed stallion owned by Lorette Taylor Sire: Quarelybet Hero ( Baloubet du Rouet x Galoubet x Darco) Sire of Dam: Quidam de Revel ( Jalisco B x Alme x Fantastique) Currently competing in the 1.50m classes with Lorette Taylor |
|
Querlybet’s pedigree is a cross between the best French and Belgian bloodlines.
His sire is the exceptional Baloubet du Rouet and his dam is the equally famous Narcotique de Muze. His dam’s sire is the great Darco. Narcotique de Muze, was an excellent international winner with Canadian rider Eric Lamaze and has produced many CSI/CSIO/CSIW performers and his 2nd dam, Qerly Chin, is widely-recognized as perhaps the best mare in all of Belgium. Narcotique belongs to the BWP dam line #34, which has produced many champions. Querlybet ranks 49th in the 2017 WBFSH Top Jumping Sires. He was named Ambassador of the BWP in 2014 thanks to the quality of his progeny. He retired from competition in 2014. Querlybet shows lots of scope, strength, respect and style over the fences that he transmits to his offspring. He also passes his good canter and his innate jumping technique. He will fit smaller compact mares because he tends to produce larger horses and will complement those who need to improve their hindquarter technique. |

Baloubet du Rouet is a phenomenon in horse breeding. Whilst he never stood at stud in Germany, 300 of his progeny are registered in Germany with 130 successful up to advanced level/S level. Amongst his 25 licensed sons in Germany, the lifetime earnings millionaire Balou du Rouet is an absolute exception.
Baloubet du Rouet and Rodrigo Pessoa were seen as the dream combination in the international show jumping circuit: they won the World Cup three times, and in 2001, they narrowly missed what could have been their fourth victory and instead became vice-champions. The pair won several Grand Prix competitions, one of them in Geneva. In 2000, they won the Team Bronze Medal at the Olympic Games in Sydney and in 2004, the Individual Gold Medal in Athens. In 2012 and 2013, Baloubet du Rouet was the leading sire of the WBFSH show jumping world ranking list. Currently he holds fourth place. Many of his French, Belgian and Dutch bred progeny are internationally successful, with Paloubet d’Hallong leading the way as the most expensive show jumper in the world. |

His sire Galoubet A, ridden by Gilles Bertrand de Ballanda in the 1980´s, was one of the most successful horses in the international show jumping circuit at that time. He won, amongst other successes, 19 international Grand Prix, was placed fifth in the World Cup finals of 1981 and was a team member of the French Gold Medal team at the World Equestrian Games in Dublin 1982, where, in the individual round, he was placed fifth. Galoubet sired more than 30 licensed sons.
The dam, Mesange du Rouet also produced the internationally successful mare Linadore du Rouet. The grand dam produced Globule, who was dam to the known athletes Urtos du Rouet, Inadie du Rouet, Ondet du Rouet and Salsa du Rouet, as well as the stallion Quatoubet du Rouet. The dam sire Starter was a son of the internationally appraised thoroughbred Rantzau xx and through him was half- brother of the line foundation stallions Cor de la Bryère and Fier de Lui Z. In the fourth generation Baloubet is inbred again with Rantzau xx. |

In all, Darco sired more than 3000 foals. In the survey of the world’s top 75 jumping sires that appears in the French publication, Monneron 2007 – 2008, Darco stars, coming in the third best sire in the world, with 35 CSI winners.

His most successful offspring in 2006 were Quibell and Eve des Etisse. Quidam himself was best represented at WEG in Aachen as well as through his sons, Nabab de Reve and Guidam (sire of silver medallist, Authentic).

This stunning stallion is such a rare find in South Africa, being a direct son of Chacco Blue (Rated number one on the WBFSH rankings for showjumping). And his dam sire, Consuelo, is rated number 1 in South Africa for Showjumping. Sire: Chacco Blue Dam sire: Consuelo Ridden by: Lorette Taylor Level: Currently graded 1.30m and still going |
Chacco Blue
For most of his life, from 2007 to 2010, Chacco-Blue was ridden for Paul Schockemöhle by Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst. They were moderately successful on the international scene: the pair were 3rd in the Grand Prix of Falsterbo, 2nd at Hachenburg, first in a 1.60 at Olympia, for total lifetime earnings of €289,517, but it is as a sire that Chacco-Blue has been a star. He was a horse with a wonderful attitude, he always wanted to go, he was not spooky at all. The only thing that made it a little bit harder for me in the beginning was that I didn’t have total control, but we found our way together, and for sure he was one of the best horses I have ridden.
I think the outstanding feature of the motherline is the grand dam, a half bred mare, Godahra II, by the Thoroughbred, Godavari (Tudor Minstrel line). In the Eastern part of Germany she was very popular, she used to win a lot of metre thirty, metre forty. She must have had really good sports spirit, because she was winning and many people were talking about her. She was small (167 cm) but she had a big heart and she was a fighter. I guess that this is a very strong part in Chacco-Blue’s bloodline. I believe that if you see the offspring of Chacco-Blue, almost 99% have a super technique, a big heart, a good attitude to work, and this might come from this very strong grand-mother.
He has given to the next generation a wonderful technique, front leg technique, and the most obvious thing is the positive attitude to the sport. Some of the horses, they might be a little bit delicate in the beginning, when they are young they are a little bit freaky, a little bit spooky, not really spooky but their senses are 100%, what they hear, what they see, and it takes them a little while to settle. This is not a weakness, this is something that every good young horse has.
