Sire Info

His sire is the Dutch New-Forest stallion Kantje’s Ronaldo SL, blessed with fantastic papers, exceptional jumper and, above all, the current best sire of international winners in Europe, with 15 of his progeny having participated at the European Championships! Ronaldo achieved, during the course of his stud career, every accolade possible for a stallion: Keur, Prestatie Denkhengst, Preferent and Prestatie Fokhengst. He has produced 21 approved stallions.

 

Dam Info

His dam Bettina, Elite broodmare from the Schleswig-Holstein studbook, is considered to be one of the very best broodmares of her studbook. Beautifully proportioned, broad, with excellent bone and a good topline, she obtained the rare classification Elite based on the quality of her offspring. Having been successful in performance testing as a 3 year old before being dedicated to breeding, descended from the most influential sire in the breed studbook (the sire of Linaro, Losander, Kira, Geraldine…) and from the famous crossbreeding between Lombard and Bajar, she was always placed at the top of breed competitions. She is the half-sister on the dam’s side of the performance stallion Alcazar N and the dam of three stallions: the famous international performer Aron N SL, who jumped at four European Championships and is today considered to be an excellent sire (already having one of his progeny at the European Championships, sire of numerous winners in conformation and paces classes in France…) – (see his file on this site); and the dressage winner Menelaos. Two of her four daughters were classed as Elite, including Belle Amie, who finished first in performance tests with unpublished marks. In France, Bettina has produced: Narone de Florys (Linaro), gelding, IPO 145 in 2010, winner show jumping in D2 and D1P; Onantarone de Florys (Nantano), gelding, IPO 110 at 4-years-old, winner show jumping in D1P and E1P; Pharone de Florys (Nantano), dam of Tinotauros de Florys (Minotauros SL) before starting her sporting career, RE-MARK-ABLE jumper, winner in E1P; Quettino de Florys SL (Kantje’s Ronaldo SL); Sissi de Florys (Jimmerdor de Florys SL), 5-year-old mare, finalist as a 4-year-old; and Taronextera de Florys (Dexter Leam Pondi), 4-year-old mare. His sire Lombard is the all-time best German riding pony stallion of the Schleswig-Holstein studbook. Born in 1979 and dead at the age of 8-year-old in 1987, he has only 50 registered progeny, but amongst which 4 sons are stallions - from 20 males (i.e. 1/5th of his male production) and 10 daughters classed as ’Staatsprämien-Stute’ (the highest accolade reserved for the best mares in the studbook) - from 30 registered (i.e. 1/3 of his female production). Lombard is famous for having passed on a remarkable jumping ability: he is the sire of excellent winners such as Calinka, Laslo, Lorbas, Lord Liberty, Losander, Maja, Kira, Geraldine… In sport his progeny have accumulated 21,615€ of winnings and he has already been ranked amongst the 8 best sires of show jumpers in Germany.
