Concorde
is a supremely bred stallion off to a great
start as a sire. At present, Concorde jumps internationally under
saddle of rider Eric van der Vleuten. In 1991, Concorde was
fifth and sixth in Helsinki, fifth and fifth in Oslo, fifth in Nonkopin
and sixth in Amsterdam. His sire, Voltaire, is well-known in the
international jumping contest world. He was first in Berlin,
second in Eindhoven, third in Amsterdam and third in Götheborg.
In 1992, Voltaire took second place with 143 points for jumping and 135
for training. Voltaire has established his own line of top class
showjumpers. Concorde's mother, Flyer, is a daughter of the legendary
stallion Marco Polo, who made Holland distinguished in the field of
breeding and sports. Concorde's stallion prospects appear to grow to top
stallions as they age. In the Dutch five year old championships,
four of his offspring were ranked in the top nine. His outstanding
competition horses include Gracia, Giant, Hickory, Grace, Loncorde B,
Viktor, Larone, L'Accord, Fan Holland, Larino, VDL Laroche, Jacorde,
Kairos and many more. |
