Cornet de Semilly

The world’s best jumper sires are united in one stallion

The discovery at the OS-licensing in 2017: An athlete who crosses borders - striking in type and an appearance promising high performance. Actually, he was born with this jumping-talent right away due to the fantastic genes from his sire, grandsire and great grandsire, who all belonged to the world’s most successful show jumpers of their generation. In 2018 he passed his 14-day-test in Neustadt/Dosse with high marks for the jumping part as expected. The judges gave him a 9.0 for loose-jumping; his final score with emphasis on jumping was 8.50. In 2019 he confirmed the first assessments when it came to jumping under the saddle (final score of 8.62 in the second part of his sport test in Verden). This enormous willingness to perform combined with unlimited scope will lead him easily all the way up to the international sport.

Already today, the sire Cornet Obolensky operates as one of the best jumper sires worldwide. Up to now, he produced 323 advanced (S) level show jumpers which earned a lifetime sum of more than 10.72 million Euro. More than 150 sons are meanwhile licensed. Cornet Obolensky himself war highly successful in sport too: In 2011 he became European team champion with Marco Kutscher as part of the German squad in Madrid.

The dam’s sire Diamant de Semilly won the team gold medal with his rider Eric Levallois (FRA) at the WEG in Jerez and, a year later, he took the team silver medal at the European championships. He is strictly bred for performance; he can look back to a high number of internationally successful offspring. Currently, he is on second place in the WBFSH world ranking in the group for jumpers.

In third generation the internationally successful half-bred Sandro/Franke Sloothaak can be found. As trademark stallion he was of historical importance for the modern riding horse breeding. Through the line-founding stallion Cor de la Bryère, Landlord and Chamisso as well as Farnese, who are all significant sires of the Holstein performance breeding, the line of ancestors leads to line 306.
