Codex One (VA) by Contendro/Glückspilz
B.: Wilhelm Berghorn, Stolzenau, R.: Christian Ahlmann, Germany
Privately owned stallion Codex One was already in Verden twice: He was sold as licensed
stallion in 2002. Two years later, he became top-priced horse of the Elite Auction
in April. In 2007 and 2008, he was placed in the Final of the Federal Championships
under Karl Brocks. Codex One only changed to the stable of Christian Ahlmann last year
who then further advanced him to the top. Photo: Lafrentz
Al Calypso by Askari/Calypso II
B.: Meike Fischer, Bad Bevensen, R.: Samuel Parot, Chile
Al Calypso qualified for the Olympic Games almost unnoticed. After having achieved
excellent results in Florida, he came to Europe to be prepared for the London event. His
breeder purchased his dam, state premium mare Camilla, at the Elite Foal Auction, and
she passed on her fantastic sport capabilities to her progeny. Half brother Escapado by
Escudo is also successful in advanced level courses. Photo: Lafrentz
Crossing Jordan by Champion Du Lys/Calypso II (above left)
B.: Jürgen Ernst, Essel, R.: Nicolas Pizzaro, Mexico
The list of riders who successfully competed with Crossing Jordan is long. Sebastian
Holtgräve-Osthues placed him at the 2005 Bundeschampionate. He owes his first international
successes to Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst. He descends from the same dam
line as Sancette who will compete for Australia in dressage in London. Photo: Lafrentz
George by Garant/Don Juan (above right)
B.: Carsten Wiedemann, Uelzen, R.: Jill Henselwood, Canada
George delighted the audience as four-year-old during the Free Jumping Competition of
the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program in Verden. He found a new owner right after
the competition who brought him to North America. Dam Depeche delivered nine successfully
competing offspring, among them Samquist by Stakkato and Romana by Rio
Branco who are successful advanced level jumpers. Photo: Lafrentz
Temple Road by Antaeus/Graf Dagobert
B.: Karl Rabeler, Egestorf, R.: Cassio Rivetti, Ukraine
Temple Road has a successfully competing dam: Granola was successful up to advanced
level. She was ridden by Meik Martens who also competed with Temple Road from novice
to medium level. Cassio Rivetti celebrated first successes in July 2011 after he had
taken over the bay horse from the Irish Cian O’Connor. Photo: Rau
