Damline Information
Calvados is bred from the best French performance bloodlines. He is bred to produce sport horses and is the product of some of the most well-established bloodlines of show jumping. His sire Uriel has been leading sire for several years (index 211, the highest index figure ever in France). Uriel contributed to French breeding through 26 sons and he produced more than 100 international showjumpers!! His dam Gold Rose (index 186!) was a 3 year old French Conformation Champion and on the French Showjumping Team from 1979 until 1982, during which time she won, inter alia, the Grand Prix of Paris and Madrid and came second in Lisbon, Barcelona and Hamburg. Although Calvados has bred on a very limited scale, he has many international offspring jumping at Grand Prix and World Cup levels. The jumping index of Calvados is extremely high with 152 points. Calvados produced the highest percentage of star mares in 2003.
Ushiniki is a half-sister of the KWPN sire Ekstein and the last progeny of the great mare Zaniki, a grand-daughter of the legendary Niki, for whom one of Holland's most distinguished marelines is named.
Ultra Niki comes from the extremely successful niki-stam lineage mareline 11. Ushiniki's dam, Zaniki is a full-sister to the
international showjumper Palfrenier and she herself produced national champion showjumpers, a KWPN stallion champion, and international showjumpers. Zaniki's sire Joost represents an excellent stamm (no. 242) as well as the bloodlines of his renow sire Consul. Joost carried the blood of Thoroughbred foundation sires Cottage Son xx and Anblick xx on both sides of his pedigree, making him a modern stallion. He himself even excelled as a show jumper with Franke Sloothaak.
Aniki, is half-sister to Nick Skelton's Apollo, twice winner of the Aachen Grand Prix. Individual Bronze Medalist at the World Championship, Individual Bronze Medal at the European Championship, and twice European Championship Team Gold Medalist. The Niki line is represented in the United States by such greats as the Iron Spring Farm stallions Consul and Judgement. In Holland, the lineage 1907- the "Sineada lineage" produced stallions such as Consul and Colino and also World Cup Champion Anka ridden by Markus Ehning. *Click here to read more about the Niki mareline.

Aniki's daughters & grand-daughters have produced the sires Ekstein, Consul & Equador, the International Jumpers Nebraska, Promise Me & Galveston, & the International Dressage horses Consul, Hercules, Feliki & Fellini
Kassander's damsire the Preferent Gröninger stallion Sinaeda, was one of the foundation sires of the modern Dutch sporthorse. Sinaeda produced 14 approved sons for the NWP and two for the VLN. The full brothers Senner and Sportman (out of Ritta by Tello) were the most valuable for the breed. Lineages rooted in a Sinaeda-, Senner- or Sportman daughter are still expensive assets.” And they could jump. American rider, Armand Leone finished 11th at the 1985 World Cup Finals in Berlin, riding Jonker, a fifteen year old gelding by Sportman, out of Tondria by Senator by Camillo.
