Breeding Triumph for Dr. Jacobs GbR The free-jumping competitions of the Programs for Hanoverian Jumper Horse Breeding were totally under the banner of the Breeding Station Dr. Jacobs. The two best threeyear olds were Las Vegas PJ and Cashmere PJ. Four weeks ago the champion of the four-year olds called Penelope PJ also came from this breeding station. By Ulrich Hahne Las Vegas PJ by Light On/Quidam’s Rubin became the prominent championess in the division for threeyear olds. Photo: Ernst The second round of the free-jumping competition for descendants from the Program for Hanoverian Jumper Horse Breeding confirmed the positive trend. The three-year old vintage is in no way inferior in respect to performance over rails to the four-year old vintage that performed in the free-jumping chute in February. The breeding program of Dr. Jacobs GbR/Bierbergen once again confirmed its knowledge about breeding jumpers. At the top of the result sheets for three-year olds and in respect to the sires there were more descendants of proven producers like Contendro, Graf Top, Stakkato or Calido. A total of 68 representatives from the vintage 2010 were presented. The winner of the first group was the three-year old stallion called Cimarron who is a Contendro son. The Breeding Farm Priess bred him out of a dam by Graf Grannus. He is another example that the best “Contendros” have a dam out of the G- line. The internationally successful jumper rider and trainer Karl Brocks discovered the powerfully yet carefully jumping Cimarron on last year’s stallion sales. Since then he has developed positively, jumped with composure and overview and has appeared motivated and willing to perform. A classic representative of his sire!

Breeding ting of Gibert Böckmann and Hartmut Wilking gave him uniformly high scores. The judges evaluated a group of horses that was overall of high quality. In respect to the development the horses exhibited clear differences. So for instance the second placed horse in this division. Breeder Egon Schröder from Hittbergen presented a full-sister to privately owned sire Scendro by Scendix/Contendro. In her way of jumping this filly reminded us very much of her full-brother and his impressive appearances at the licensing and the show for privately owned stallions at the beginning of the year. Her quiet yet neat and tidy jumping style was rewarded with lots of applause. Her jumping style however was a bit of a contrast to her appearance. “She has probably not been in training for very long but she fulfilled the tasks set in front of her in an ideal way,” the judges commented. She only finished on second place in her group in spite of the higher evaluation in respect to jumping. Balou’s Comtesse by Balou du Rouet/Contender (breeder/owner: Anne Cordes, Hämelhausen) followed in third place by only a small margin. A very attentive and therefore cautious horse with the best conformation prerequisites because of her stabile back and her good croup formation! She has exhibited a lot of quality even though she is not yet an experienced jumper, yet. In the second group Diego by Diarado/Landadel (breeder: Eberhart Wotte, Rhede; exhibitor: Hermann Agnesmeyer, Rhede) was in the lead near enough to the end. His physical development reflected that the stallion had been prepared for the stallion pre-selection before. Even though Diego’s body construction left something to be desired for his performance in the jumping chute was convincing. With a lot of elasticity all through his body he showed off his ability to its fullest; this earned him top scores. In the end his performance was good enough for second place in this group. Cashmere PJ by Calido/Silvio won. Cashmere PJ who isout of the breeding program of Dr. Jacobs GbR and Jan Crome-Sperling was not only perfectly prepared but also “used her entire body while jumping in a masterly fashion,” so the judge’s evaluation. She convinced during her self-confident presentation with her elasticity not only while jumping but also in her movement. Another Diaradodaughter finished in third place. Diraba (breeder: Heinrich Bremer, Neustadt) is out of a dam by Contendro and out of the dam line of the internationally successful Acorte (Rolf Moormann). She never even came close to making a mistake but instead impressed with her ambition while staying rhythmical with good control the entire time. Gin Tonic by Graf Top/Sandro (breeder: Kurt-Heinrich Böttcher, Warmsen) dominated the third group. This stallion showed off his athleticism once he was released in the free-jumping lane. He really was impressive. “Very rhythmical, very steady and very natural,” the judges commented on this representative of the G-line. He was completely focused on the task at hand. He is a horse with performance willingness and ability. This was not the first time that breeder Kurt-Heinrich Böttcher had entered a very good horse in the free-jumping competition in Verden. Many of these horses are Champion of the first group: Cimarron by Contendro/Graf Grannus. Photo: Beelitz Gin Tonic by Graf Top/Sandro was the leader in the third group.
