Introduction Once again in 2012 we can offer you a superb collection of stallions with a lot of variation in bloodlines. It is a mixture of proven stallions and up and coming stars out of proven damlines. We find it enormously important that the stallions prove themselves in the sport. With our own stallions they must also show their worth, whatever genes they possess themselves can also be passed on to their offspring. Everything is hereditary, especially their performance in the ring! In our 2012 brochure you can find information on the performances of our stallions on national and international level and their offspring. In 2012 we also have renewed our website with news items on our horses and via the social media facebook and youtube we keep you updated with all the news on our stallions and their offspring. For 2012 we have completed our station with three phenomenal young talented stallions Elton John (v. Clearway x Kannan), I’am Special de Muze (v. Emerald x Nabab de Reve) and Starpower (v. Stakkato x Escudo) The veterinary service for mares at our farm will be done by doctor Nick Smith in cooperation with De Watermolen Horseclinic. Together, stallion keepers and mare owners form a strong bond. We need each other to create a new generation of good and healthy sporting horses that can perform at the highest level. We have to work together to maintain the highest position in the ranking list of the World Breeding Federation for Sporting Horses. There is no better way for the safety of the future than to remain at No. 1. You can always contact us for additional or more specific advice for your own mares. We wish you a succesfull breeding season! Team Nijhof and Family Nijhof. WWW.TEAM-NIJHOF.COM

BREITLING - born 2006 - dark brown– height 1.70 m. KWPN, OL-OS Breitling has an excellent pedigree. Both his sire, Quintero la Silla and his dam Armonia la Silla performed successfully in the top of the sport ridden by Rolf-Göran Bengtsson. With the combination of the two we find the performance blood of the stallions Almé Z (3x), Cor de la Bryère (4x) and Ladykiller xx (2x) doubly anchored via son and daughter. In the pedigree of his dam Armonia la Silla, the influential stallion Ahorn Z is combined with his full sister Argentina Z who is renowned as being the dam of the showjumper of the century, Ratina Z. In the third generation we come across the stallion Zünftiger xx who takes care of the necessary influx of blood. Via Rebel I Z and Farnese the damline goes back to the mare Bajanga (Nautilus xx), who is a full sister of the KWPN stallion Dolman. This renowned Holsteiner family 2151 also includes the International Showjumpers Optiebeurs Richard (Rodrigo) ridden by Otto Becker and Cargho (Coriano Z) ridden by Felix Hassmann. The stallion Breitling completed a fantastic performance test in Schliekau. He got the score of 10.00 for his scope, 9.88 for his natural jumping ability and a 9.75 for his jumping technique!! From his first (small) group of foals born in 2011, three foals were selected for the national foal championships, amongst which the champion of Gelderland. Breitling produces tall foals with a lot of expression and a big canter. Breitling himself finished two times in second place in the stallion competitions of Roosendaal and Zuidbroek. After that he easily won the finals of the stallion competition in Den Bosch. 4

CALEANDRO -Holsteiner - born 2005 - bay - height 1.73 m. NRPS - AES Caleandro’s sire Cassini I was a big hit in the international showjumping ring ridden by Franke Sloothaak. When we look at breeding worldwide Cassini is one of the most successful showjumping horse progenitors of the present day with a string of offspring competing at international level including Olympic Z, Ingmar, Coco, Cumano, Berlin and Carino. Damsire, Leandro is a son of the most influential ‘stamping’ stallions of the last decade, Landgraf I. Additionally Caleandro is bred out of the highly acclaimed Holsteiner family No. 776. A damline that produced over 60 approved stallions and an impressive list of national and international showjumpers such as leandra (Otto Becker), High Valley Z (Jos Lansink), Lucky Boy (Marcus Ehning), Locarno (Ellen Withaker) and Libelle (Angelique Hoorn). This damline has achieved an enormous status by the world famous stallion Ramiro. Caleandro himself is directly out of this famous damline, as his mother is decending directly from the mare Holle, the granddam of Ramiro. Caleandro also has the famous bloodlines of Cor de La Bryere, Landgraf I and Farnese in his genes. Caleandro is a stallion with quick reflexes and a lot of scoope. With Maikel van der Vleuten Caleandro qualified very easily for the final of the Worldchampionships at Lanaken (6-year-olds) and finished in the final at place 10.

LORD Z – born 1990 – bay - height 1.67 m. KWPN - Oldenburg OS – Holstein – Zangersheide – Bayern – Switzerland – Hannover We are convinced that this holsteiner stallion will influence dutch breeding in a positive direction. His technique and mentality make this bloodtype jumper a great contributer to our breeding program, especially for the mares that need blood. Lord Z is a son from the legendary Lord, who is also the sire of the famous international jumpers like Livius and Lugana. Grandsire Calando I also jumped at grand prix level and was world famous with Karsten Huck and EdgarHenry Cueper respectively. Lord Z descends from the holsteiner line number 206. The dam of the international jumper Atlantic from Wout-Jan van der Schans is a full sister to Lord Z. Lord Z himself jumped succesfully on the international circuit at grand prix level with victories and high placings in, for example, 1st Cannes, 1st Munich, 2nd Kuala Lumpur, 3rd Zurich etc. The oldest offspring of Lord Z are already jumping at grand prix level.

E xcellent dam lineages Within the breeding industry of horses the damline is the determining factor of the success. We regularly see exceptional stallions and good progenitors that come out of a relatively ‘normal sire’. The names such as Ramiro Z, Farn and Capitol speak for themselves. The valuable characteristics that these stallions pass on to their offspring can always be traced back to the damlines. Therefore you have to look at every stallion as an extension of the dam. With a young Stallion nothing is known about what he will produce, therefore it is extremely essential to know all the history of his damline and the quality he carries for participation in the top of the sport. In a relatively short period of time Team Nijhof has made a collection of young stallions that all, individually, come out of excellent damlines. In this article we will introduce you to eight of our extremely promising stallions. They all carry excellent damlines.

QUALITY TIME – Holstein - grey - born – height: 1.70 cm. KWPN –Holstein – Hannover – OL-OS
The Holsteiner stallion Quantum (by Quidam de Revel) produced 4 internatioanl showjumpers out of his first crop of 32, Quin Chin (Manuel Fernandez Saro), Quintero la Silla (Rolf-Göran Bengtsson), Karatina (Penelope Leprevost) and Qena (Janne-Frederike Meyer). Via the combination of Quantum and the mare H-Cortonne, the valuable showjumping blood of the mare Dorette is very firmly anchored (3 x over via both son and daughter) in the pedigree of Quality Time. Great grandam, Jessika II (Moltke I) is also renowned as the dam of the stallion Goodwill (Landgraf I) who we associate as the sire of the famous Olympic showjumper MacKinley (RolfGöran Bengtsson). Out of this highly acclaimed Holsteiner family No. 1463, we will also come across the exceptional stud stallions such as; Kommandeur (Marlon xx) and Larno (Landgraf I) and the Olympic showjumpers, Lanciano (Philippe Guerdat) and Lucilla II (Prinses Haya). In 2011 Quality Time and Jeroen Dubbeldam developed as a super combination and achieved a lot of super performances.

SPARTACUS – Hannover – dark brown – born 2003 – height 1.75 cm KWPN – Holstein – Hannover – Zangersheide – OL-OS In the pedigree of Spartscus we get to see an accumulation of the very best Hannovarian jumping blood. His sire Stakkato is busy making a successful international career ridden by Eva Bitter and he is ‘eye catching’ as a sire of international showjumpers. Damsire Grannus belongs to the ‘all time greats’ of the ‘stamping stallions’ within the European breeding. Via the combination of Stakkato and Grannus the jumping blood of both Gotthard and Goldfisch II respectively are three and five times firmly anchored in both son and daughter. Jumping ability in the damline of Spartacus is likewise firmly attached. In combination with Acorado I the dam Galina produced the international showjumper Elton John who was very successful with Hergen Forkert. Subsequently the pedigree goes back via the lines of the stallions Colorado x and Granit to the mare Wartburg who also performed very successfully in the international jumping arena herself under the name of Welfenglück ridden by Hermann Schridde. The offspring of Wartburg includes the famous sporting stallion Lasangos (Latus I) of Prinses Haya. Spartacus and Eric van der Vleuten were the eyecatchers of the VHO-trophy and the international show of Roggel in 2011. After that they had many good performances such as fourth in the Grand prix of Hengelo, third in the grand prix of Roggel, fourth in the grand prix of Assen, fourth in the grand prix of Braunschweig. In 2012 they will start to jump in 4- and 5-star shows. The first offspring of Spartacus are longlined foals with blood. They know very well how to jump, with quick reflexes and a super technique. 32

As well as all these four previously mentioned jumpers, Starpower has the performance genes of Gotthard in his pedigree. Also in the damline of Starpower the best jumping blood is strongly represented. His dam Enjoy is a full sister to the grand prix jumper El Paso and Markus Beerbaum. The Olympic dressage horse Sunrise (v. Singular Joter) with his rider Imke Schellekens-Bartels is bred out of the full-sister of grandam Wyoming. Grandam Garde carries the bloodlines of Graphit and Gotthard. The same combination we find back in the legendary sire Grannus. From Garde descend a group of very succesfull international jumpers such as Eclypso (Espri) and Filippo Moyersoen and Lomitas (Landadel) from Cassio Rivetti. This damline also produced the Grand Prix-jumpers Jubilee d'Ouilly (Palestro II) and Penelope Leprevost, Kronos d’Ouilly (Uzelien) and Michel Robert, as well as Wahre Liebe (Werther) and Hugo Simon. Starpower meets the strict veterinary requirements of KWPN and is available in fresh semen. He is approved for Hannover and Westfalen.

WARRANT – dark brown – born 2003 – height 1.72 cm KWPN – Oldenburg OS and OL – Zangersheide The stallion Warrant carries an excellent pedigree. His sire Numero Uno has proved to be a top progenitor of showjumpers time after time. Special hereditary characteristics can also be found on the dam’s side, NL damline no. 093. Dam Karanta is no less than the dam of the famous international showjumper Oranta (Indorado) ridden by Angelique Hoorn and respectively Chris Kappler, Uranta ridden by David Quigley and Taranta ridden by Mathijs van Asten. Two offspring sired by Lux Z out of Karanta were both placed in the World Championships for young horses in Lanaken last year. Additionally Karanta twice carries the performance blood of the stallion Farn via son and daughter. The damline goes directly back to a full sister of the stallions Spartaan and Staalmeester (Sinaeda). Out of this highly regarded sporting family also comes (amongst others) the influential sporting and stud stallion, Renville (Courville xx) as well as the international showjumpers Eurocommerce Geneve (Ahorn), Kalusha (Ulster), Benji (Formateur) and Interpol (Marco Polo). Warrant scored high marks in his spring performance test with a 9.5 for his scope, an 8.5 for his natural ability as a showjumper, attitude and his canter. Warrant and Henk van der Pol made a fantastic international debut; second in the vho-trophy, 2nd in Jumping Amsterdam, 2nd in the six-bars of Helsinki, and third in the six-bars of Drachten as well as two clear rounds in the worldcup qualifier of Poznan. In 2011 Warrant produced the overall champion of the kwpn stallionshow as well as the winner of the performance test Durrant.

ZACHAROV - KWPN – grey – born 2004 – height 1.69 cm. KWPN – Oldenburg OS – Zangersheide Talk about a pedigree!! It would not be easy to make a line of stallions any better than in the following order of this pedigree: Clinton-Lord Z – Nimmerdor – Alme – Gotthard!!. All stallions hat have performed at the very highest level themselves and have also got progeny that have performed at top level. Clinton jumped at Grand Prix level with Dirk Demeersman, Lord Z with John Whitaker and Nimmerdor with Bert Romp. Dam Oldine earlier also produced the talented showjumper Audi’s Tara that made a furore in the national jumping sport ridden by Vincent Voorn. Oldine is homebred out of the Nimmerdor daughter Goldine who is renowned as the dam of the international showjumper Keaton (Eaton du Rezidal) ridden by Albert Voorn and Mischa Everse. Great grandam Antje Z, same as the well known international showjumping stallions Artos Z and Aerobic Z, is a product of the combination Almé x Gotthard x the mare Akita (Agram). Both Artos Z and Aerobic Z competed in the World Cup Finals under Mark Leone and Harold Chopping respectively. In her turn, the mare Akita is a daughter of the Holsteiner mare Libelle (Lobi) on whom Ute Hudemann successfully performed in the international jumping sport. Out of this Holsteiner pedigree no. 6225 there also the international showjumpers Plenty, Akito, Lucky Boy D, Audrey D and Tello, on whom Alan Waldman won the reserve title at the World Championships in Lanaken in 2006. At a very early age Zacharov already made his international career. He jumps with fantastic results; fourth in the grand prix of Roggel, fourth and seventh in the international 1.50 m class at London Olympia and clear rounds in the 1.45 classes at Basel and Hengelo.

ZAMBESI – KWPN – bay – born 2004 – height 1.67 m. KWPN – Zangersheide – Oldenburg OS In the pedigree of Zambesi we combine the athletic scope and reflexes of Heartbreaker with the boundless power of Calvaro Z. Two stallions that have performed at the very top level with respectively Peter Geerink and Jos Lansink. Additionally Zambesi is a product of an excellent jumping dynasty, NL damline 002. Grandam Alanda (by Le Mexico) performed in the international jumping arena with Pieter Kersten. In combination with Jasper, Alanda also produced the international showjumpers It’s The Business (Goeff Glassard) and Galanda (Edwin Smits). The international showjumper Now or Never (by Burggraaf) ridden by Piet Raijmakers is a son of Galanda. The damline goes back to a full sister of the ‘stamping stallion Victor’ ( Odin van Wittenstein) via the blood of Kartouche (by Gondelier) and Boris (L’Invasion). This family has also produced the Olympic showjumping stallions ‘Darco’ (Ludo Philippaerts) and Arko III (Nick Skelton). Zambesi resembles his sire Heartbreaker very much both in his way of jumping and stamping foals. In 2010 Zambesi was already qualified for the finals of the world championships in Lanaken. Zambesi was second in three qualifiers of the stallion competition and he also won the finals with more than 20 points ahead of number 2!! The kwpn judge awarded Zambesi with one of the best offspring reports ever. He produced a collection of top foals with beautiful confirmation and excellent movements. His daughter Fleur was the national champion foal of the kwpn.
