Coupe de Coeur

German Show Jumper Champion 2006 and 2007

A jumper stallion with an international career, a superior opponent in sport and consequently of great interest for breeding.  He took the German Champion title in show jumping in 2006 in Munster and again in 2007 in Gera, both times with Rene Tebbel, won the World Cup in Oslo/NOR and with two sovereign clear rounds in Barcelona/ESP helped the German team win in the Nations Cup Super League.  Before that he had been successful with his owner, Rasha Hareb (including winning an international show jumping competition at the Munich Indoors).  Starting in April 2008 he continued his career under Ludger Beerbaum and they were victors in international competitions right away (e.g. the Nations Cup in Rotterdam ).  In 2009 Coupe de Coeur won the Grand Prix of Dortmund, the Riders Tour and took fourth in the Grand Prix of Paris.  Coupe de Coeur was licensed in the Netherlands where he sired several foals that drew a lot of attention before he moved to Germany in 2005 where his first foal crop was born in 2006.  Two sons from his very first crop were licensed in Redefin in 2008, Coster and Cheval de Coeur.  Cheval de Coeur was the Reserve Champion Stallion and the top priced stallion at the Mecklenburg Stallion Auction, selling for 95,000 Euros.  In 2009 in Hanover , his licensed son Coeur de Cento was also one of the top priced stallions at the Hangtstmarkt in Verden.

From a breeding standpoint, his sire, Calido I,  is the most influential of the Cantus sons.  Calido I belongs to the “family jewels” in Holstein breeding.  But most significant for spreading this line is Coupe de Coeur’s dam, Adele.

So far, this bay mare has given birth to three international show jumpers of rank and besides Coupe de Coeur, Russel is also licensed.  Born 1995, the gray Russel by the Holstein sire, Corofino I, who is certainly the most effective of the Corrado I sons, was licensed in Great Britain and is highly successful in sport with Nick Skelton/GBR.  Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International has approved him for Germany .  Russel’s one year older full sister, California , has won many advanced (S) level show jumping classes and is successful in Grand Prix and Holger Hezael.  Adele, who is by Lincoln , is one of the older sons of Landgraf I, who bred in Baden-Wurttemberg, Holstein and Denmark .  The next link in the chain of ancestors is the chestnut French stallion, Urioso, who was active in Holstein for three years.  Coupe de Coeur’s granddam, Kolin, who was born in 1973, was a very fertile mare.  In Holstein breeding, she produced not only Adele but also other registered daughters by the stallions Sympatico, Lord and Zunftiger xx.  Kolin’s dam, Wyk, brought attention to the line for the first time in the 1970s when she became the dam of the chestnut stallion, Nassau by Sable Skinflint xx, who actively bred in the Netherlands .
