Holstein, premium foal, breeding book 1,

1,72m ~16.35 hands

In November 2000 we have purchased La Gomera from her breeder Hans-Peter Asmussen, Handewitt in Holstein. The first impression was deciding. Very sen- sitive, a really outstanding jumping ability and 3 excel- lent basic gaits. She is able to use her body over the jumps in a fantastic manner.

Unfortunately we had to put down her after a severely incurable uterus suppuration with lot of of pus there at the age of 16. The retirement for her wasn't possible. Thankfully there is still her daughter Chara Noemi.

Ancestry: Her sire Tin Rocco has won international Grand Prixs, f.e. in Hamburg during the Derby. Espec- ially he was stallion in Oldenburg and he is sire of a lot of dressage-, eventing- and jumping-horses of the in- ternational sport. Regarding the anuals of breeding & sport of the national federation of equestrian in Germany there was over 20% of the placed offspring of Tin Rocco successful in jumping competitions until the highest level during the last years. This amount is very high. In 1990 Tin Rocco was first in the breeding estimation of the FN in the branch jumping and dressage.

The sire of Tin Rocco, the thoroughbred Tin Rod xx, an elegant grey stallion, had an excellent movement. But he has a very difficult character, however his offspring was hard and powerful, with a good rideability.

The dam of Tin Rocco Bajade by Roman is also the dam of the licensed stallions Lord Roman and Lux. Roman was winner of jumping competitions until 1,60m and represented the Holsteiner Verband during the DLG-Show. You can find his precious blood in many pedigrees, he has bred a lot of stallion's dams. 

The sire of La Gomera's dam Lakai by Latino - Flamberg is a top model regarding type and exterior with a spectacular trot and highest rideability. Additional he was an above-average stallion, who bred many good dressage- and jumping-horses. Unfortunately he was used little regarding his chesnut colour. The breeder of Holstein have a great problem with this colour, also if they have an outstanding quality. The great-grandsire Colt by Cromwell is still in the pedigrees of outstanding sport-horses regarding his high quality of his mareline (dam is Ulana by Anblick xx, mareline 242). For all that he was only two years in Holstein. He left offspring with a good character, toughness and performance. 

Own performance: La Gomera passed the mare performance test with above-average scores. She has an unlimited potential in jump- ing with an outstanding technique, and she is very easy to ride, sensitive and willing to work. Additional the movement is excellent. Regard- ing an accident during the winter 2006 with a ligament rupture in the knee she is now in breeding.

Successes: Winner in jumping competitions until 1,25m with my nephew Alexander and also both passed with success the first competitions until 1,30m.

Mareline: 776

The mareline 776 is one of the greatest and most successful lines of Holstein. It is astonishing how much sport horses are member of this line. Jac Remijnse shows in his magazine Sporthorsebreeding that this line is regular the most successful line of jumping horses in the world. Starting in the middle of the 19th century the mareline is very old.
