CHAMBERTIN 

Following his successful Stallion Performance Test in Neustadt / Dosse, Chambertin veritably won showjumper competitions at novice elementary and intermediate levels in series. In 1998 and 1999 he was the winner of the finals qualification at the Federal Championship in Warendorf with Jörg Naeve. Then in 1999 he became State Champion of his age-class in Schleswig-Holstein. He is thus closely following in the hoof marks of his sire Cambridge.
His first progeny display strength of acceleration, are true to type and appear to be out of one mould. A large proportion has received Premiums and he has already presented five Approved sons, Chacco-Blue, Chalan, Chamber, Cobos and Cuper.

The sire, Cambridge began a fairy tale career in show jumping. Ridden by Ludger Beerbaum, he qualified for the National Championship in Mannheim in 1993, where he sovereignly became Vice Champion of the five-year olds. That same year, he was declared as the most successful breeding stallion of his age-class in sport. He continued his winning streak in numerous show jumper competitions in 1994 and became a highly placed finalist at the National Championship of six year olds in Warendorf with Ludger Beerbaum. There is an incredible direct sequence of multi-talented hereditary transmitters on the dam's side of the pedigree with Cor de la Bryere, Lord, Raimond and Farnese which then leads into the successful 18A2 bloodline. The hereditary transmitters Leonardo I and II are out of the grandam Felica. The prepotent sires Classiker, Lavendel, Marmor, Saskibard, Kompaß, Monsum, Chamonix, Cascadeur, Lennon as well as the Approvals Champions Linaro and Calvadur also represent this important dynasty.

The Damsire, Cor de la Bryere was born in France, and was by the Thoroughbred Rantzau, a racehorse and a producer of fantastic jumping horses. His dam, Quenotte B, also had a jumping pedigree, she is by Lurioso who was sired by the great Furioso. Despite his fantastic pedigree, the French selection committee suggested he be gelded. His owner, Xavier Ribard, decided to sell him.

The Holsteiner Verband had noticed the success that French blood had in the Oldenburg breed, which had used the stallions Furioso II and Futuro (both by Furioso) to upgrade their stock, and wished to introduce it into their own horses. The Oldenburg breeder Alwin Schockemöhle offered to part-lease the stallion Urioso (by Furioso). An inspection committee travelled to France to evaluate the horse, and happened to find Cor de la Bryere while they were there. The Verband purchased and imported the 3-year-old to Schleswig Holstein, Germany, in 1971. The same year he was the Champion of his 100 Day Test.

On April 27th, 2000, at the age of 32, Cor de la Bryere was put down due to acute heart disease.

Described by breeders as a 'gift from heaven,' Cor de la Bryere has been especially successful producing jumping horses, as he passes on his incredible bascule, scope, and jumping technique. Corde de la Bryere also passed on his willingness and trainability. Romedio Graf von Thun-Hohenstein described the stallion: 'The arching back, like a taut band of steel combined with the super elastic end gives limitless, but always expedient, springing capability to the natural dynamics of each effort. Add to that ease of riding, marvelous disposition, and a floating, highly balanced canter. These qualities are absolutely to the benefit of young horses, who will no longer have to pay with premature breakdowns caused by jumping and showing solely with a raw, crude jumping talent.'

Cor de la Bryere has had an incredible impact on the Holsteiner breed, occurring in more than 70% of Holsteiner pedigrees, and is credited for improving the breed's jumping technique. He also had a huge impact on the Oldenburg breed.

His influence in France was limited, mainly due to his jumping. Although he was quick to fold his front legs, he did not have great power. When crossed with Holsteiner mares, which provided this power, his offspring were very successful in the show ring. However, the French mares did not have this power, and so they were usually a poor cross to Cor de la Bryere.

Cor de la Breyer was especially successful in breeding with certain mares. Tabelle (by Heisporn) produced 5 approved sons, including Calypso I and Calypso II. Furgund (by Colombo) bred with him 18 times, also producing five approved sons. Deka produced Caletto I, II and III, all by the stallion.

Cor de la Bryere stood at Siethwende from 1971 to 1984, Zangersheide 1985, Elmshorn 1986 to 1988, and Sollwittfeld from 1989 until his death in 2000. In his first season, he covered 70 mares at and four colts from his first crop were licensed.
