Cartier R is a direct son of Cassini I. Cassini I is the son of Capitol I, one of the greatest Holsteiner show jumping sires and father of forty approved stallions. With a breeding index of 182, he headed the FN jumping stallion ratimgs. Capitol’s dam, Folia, showed great jumping potential and produced the licensed stallions Latus I and II, Capitol II, and famous daughter U- Capitola. Cassini I has been at least as successful breeding, with a series of offspring active in the international sport such as Ingmar, Berlin, Coco, Cavalor Cumano and Carino. Cassini I is highly sought after sire of performance horses throughout Europe and the world.His offspring are in great demand and have proven themselves in the toughest competitive arenas.

Dam Picarda I is by Acorado I who won the 1997 Adelheidsdorf stallion performance test, twice receiving 10s for his exceptional jumping ability. In 1999 and 2000, he won the Bundeschampionat. Acorado I left behind almost 20 approved sons to continue his legacy." You can read more about Cartier R and his very impressive pedigree by clicking on his name at the top of this page.

Comet is out of Contessa PT who also has a very impressive lineup of jumpers in her pedigree. She is out of Coromino who is sired by the Holsteiner stallion Corofino. At the 1992 stallion performance test in Medingen, which he finished in performance rating I, Corofino showed his outstanding jumping ability by scoring a perfect 10.0! Video of Corofino. Contessa's dam sire is the Holsteiner stallion Riverman. As quoted from his page "Riverman was the Reserve Champion of his Holsteiner stallion licensing, where he was titled the top model of the approvals. Riverman stood as a Verband stallion for three years, producing high percentages of premium offspring. After these foal crops, Riverman stood 2nd in the 2000 German FN’s Jumping Index and 3rd in the Overall Index for stallions of his age group, due to the success of his offspring in both dressage and jumping competition."

As you can see from his pedigree chocked full of very influential Holsteiners, Comet is bred to be a top class hunter or jumper with the movement to also do well in dressage. He certainly has the conformation, movement, athletic ability and bold personality to excell. He is very friendly and is always begging for attention. All of our foals are handled regularly, are trained to halter, lead, pick up hooves, touched all over so they are not ticklish and trained to load in a trailer. They spend their days in around 100 acres of grass pastures with rolling hills, ponds and creeks to cross and drink from and plenty of playmates. He was presented with the Westfalen NA in August and was not only a premium foal but was also site champion foal! He will have full registrations papers through the Westfalen NA. I expect he'll end up around 16.1h give or take a little. Please scroll down to see Comet's pedigree and more pictures of him, a video will be added soon. All of our foals pricing also covers the inspection and registration costs as well as board for up to a month after weaning.
