ABKE

Abke is a capital jumper with a distinctly beautiful form and a high degree of elasticity, also in his basic paces. He is at home on the course: ability, technique and bascule meet the highest demands. His ability to handle fences is simply phenomenal. In 2002 Abke completed the aptitude test in Vechta with way above-average results, demonstrating particularly his aptitude for jumping in an impressive manner. He won numerous novice, elementary and intermediate showjumper tests, and qualified for the 2004 and 2005 German Federal Championships and in 2005 he was 2nd at the State Championships at Rastede.

His first class first crop (not a single chestnut) earned him the Ib Main Premium in Vechta in 2003. Abke has been accepted into the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program.In 2004 he qualified for the Bundeschampionat.He already has one approved son and In 2005 some of Abke’s offspring were sold via the Oldenburg and Hanoverian foal auctions in Vechta and Verden.

His Sire Acorado I won the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf in 1997, where he twice received the maximum score of 10.00 for his overwhelming jumping ability. In 1999 and 2000 a series of wins in elementary (L) and intermediate (M) level showjumper tests followed. In both years he also successfully participated in the Federal German Showjumping Championships. In 2003 Acorado I gained placings in various competitions up to Nations Cups, but died unexpectedly soon after.

The Damsire Contender is one of the most proven Holstein performance transmitters. His approved son Montender/Marco Kutscher won team gold and individual bronze at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. His progeny’s winnings in sport surpassed Euro 2.1 million in 2004.

The Grandam Rajana also gave birth to the S*** level showjumper Carlo Colucci, a full brother to Abke’s dam Contenda, and to the three Rouletto offspring Romanist (Grand Prix dressage horse), Remember Me, and Romeo (both M level showjumpers). Raphael, the third link in the chain of ancestry, is one of the most significant contemporary transmitters of performance. The third mother Wulkje also produced Little Joe and his full-sister La Luna (by Liberty M), who both won showjumping tests up to M/A class, and the dressage horse Roccoco (by Rouletto), who was successful up to Inter I level. The threefold inbreeding to Ramiro and Cor de la Bryčre in the earlier generations is remarkable.

The Damline also brought forth the renowned sires Agrigento (private stallion Oldenburg), Grandelstein (Neustadt/Dosse state stallion), Kadett (Celle state stallion), Noble Dancer (private stallion Oldenburg), President (BEL) as well as the Bavarian state stallions Rivero I (Grand Prix dressage) and Rivero II (approval and stallion performance test winner, St. Georges).
