His sire, Cobra, was born in Holland but carries the genes of the Holstein top progenitors
Carthago, Landgraf and Cor de la Bryere. Sire Carthago who was himself
an internationally famous show jumper with Jos Lansink is now also famous
for producing top class show jumpers. Additionally the offspring of grandsire,
Landgraf I and great grandsire, Cor de la Bryere have won a huge amount of
money in the jumping ring.
At the World Championships for 5 year olds in Lanaken 2002, Cobra was Reserve
Champion. He bettered this performance yet further in 2003 by winning the World
Championships for 6 year olds in Lanaken ridden by Mathijs van Asten. Cobra has
started jumping at 1.50 m. level and he has several winnings and placings.
His sire dam, Fuego du Prelet has the most beautiful pedigree imaginable. His
sire is the world famous Jalisco B., sire of many Grand Prix jumpers. Fuego’s bottom
line has produced the World champion of Buenos Aires in 1967 Pomone B
and her full sister Ma Pomme. Ma Pomme also produced several famous jumpers
such as: Starlette B., Allegro, l’Escapade by Fair Play III. Fuego’s sons Vivant van
de Heffinck and Athos van het Lunterhof are approved for the BWP studbook.
Many of Fuego’s offspring achieved high rankings in foal shows and championships.
His son Rocco won the title “Future Stallion” at Zwolle 2003.
