Sire's Sire: Landadel

Landadel was something special. He was champion of his 100 day test at Medingen in 1985. Landadel is one of those rarest of creatures - a stallion who sires top dressage as well as jumping progeny. Indeed at the 2001 World Cups, Landadel was unique in producing representatives in both the dressage and jumping finals, with the exquisite Leondardo da Vinci in the dressage with Gonnelien Rothenberger, and, in the jumping, Helena Weinberg's Little Gun. In the 1999/2000 WBFSH standings, Landadel had 14 representatives on the jumping list and three on the dressage. Landadel is regarded as the most important son of Landgraf - and carries a double cross of the great Ladykiller, and bears out the theory that Landgraf worked best with mares with a high proportion of Thoroughbred blood.

Dam's Sire: Quidam de Revel

Quidam de Revel is one of the best performers of his generation. In 2004, Quidam de Revel topped the World Breeding Championships Jumping Stallion ratings for the second year running, establishing himself as the pre-eminent – and most expensive – living sire of jumping horses. Quidam was a jumping star as a member of the French Olympic Team, and later with Thomas Velin. He placed many times in International competitions and was the recipient of the Team Bronze Medal in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, and was 4th Individually with Hervé Godignon. He won the Rome Grand Prix, the New-York Grand Prix, and performed several double all clears for France in many Coupes des Nations.

G.G. Sire: Landgraf

Landgraf I is considered by warmblood breeders across the globe to be one of, if not THE, Stallion of the Century. Of all the Ladykiller sons, Landgraf I was able to assert himself the best. At this time, he is the most successful sire of show jumpers the world has seen. He has produced 130 approved stallion sons, who are active in every breed association in Germany and many of Europe and the US' breeding associations.

G.G. Sire: Grannus

Grannus was certainly a hugely important sire. He had 11 licensed stallions registered with the Hanoverian breed alone and worldwide some 80 approved sons. He bred 540 daughters who are registered broodmares, of which 46 received State Premium awards. He sired some 800 competition horses who earnt just under DM4 million in prizemoney! Showjumping stars by Grannus include Grannusch (John Whitaker), Grand Plaisir (Ludger Beerbaum), Governor (Phillipe le Jeune), Golo (Gerd Wiltfang), Gaston M (H. Sprunger), Burmah Grand Slam (Nick Skelton), Top Gun La Silla (Jan Tops), and many others.

G.G. Sire: Jalisco

By 1995, Jalisco was number one on the WBFSH rankings with eight horses competing at the highest international level. At the 1996 Olympic Games, he was represented by Rochet M, Surcouf de Revel, Vert et Rouge and Revoulino.

G.G. Dam: Dirka

Dirka, despite being only 163 cms, won at international level with Nelson Pessoa, before being given to Xavier Leredde who made his junior international debut on her. Returned to her breeder, Prince Amaury de Broglie, Dirka was bred to Sans Souci, to produce two international competitors, Orka and Paprika de Revel, then with Jalisco B she produced Quidam de Revel and the broodmares, Razzia and Sarah de Revel. With Jalisco’s half brother, Kisosovo, she produced CSO winner, Vallon Rouge, and with Narcos, Aiglon Rouge, a star in Holland. With Quat’sous, she produced Byra Rouge, and with Pappillon Rouge, Dirka de Revel. What a mare!

G.G. Sire: Lord

Although Lord won the 1969 Holsteiner stallion approval, it was a controversial decision in the light of his conformational defects, and perhaps as a result of this Lord was at first not used greatly as a stallion, although he was one of the early stallions to jump successfully in competition. His first crop produced the international showjumper, Livius who won the 1980 German Showjumping Derby under Peter Luther, and then team medals at the 1981 European Championships, the World Championships of 1982 and the 1984 Olympic Games. In fact the showjumping family Luther has been instrumental in the success of Lord – Peter Luther’s sons both starred on Lord progeny – Thieß rode the licensed stallion, Lord Incipit with great success, and Haucke Luther was a star in the puissance with Lyra 20. Other successful competitors by Lord include Luguna (K. Huck), Lafeyette (H. Schmidt), Actrice (C. O. Nagel), Lusius (E. Gundel) and Pedro who competed at the World Championships in Dublin with Thomas Frühmann, Loyal 9 (P. Nagel-Tornau) and many more.
