Concorde comes from very strong jumping lines on both sides. Sire of
this stallion, who in jumping circles is known as Olympic Concorde,
is the impressive dominant breeding stallion Voltaire, who via his
sire Furioso II and Gotthard is bred to perform. Voltaire is the
number 2 in the World Breeding Rankings for Showjumping Sires in
1996. Voltaire through the performances of his offspring stands very
high in both the dressage and jumping indexes. Due to his high
ranking position, Voltaire was given the 'keur' and 'preferen'
predicates at a very early age. Concorde's dam, Flyer, is by the
legendary Marco Polo, one of the most influential Dutch stallions in
breeding and jumping with representatives such as: Irco Polo,
Pybalia, Marius, Orpheus, Mr LA, Pierrot and Recruut.
Flyer is related to the international jumper Vivaldi, which under
Melanie Smith was speed horse of the Year in 1980. Flyer produced at
least 6 (inter)national jumpers. Concorde was himself an
international jumper with Jos Lansink. They won the Grand Prix of
Nordrhein-Westfalen at Aken and they were Champion of the
Netherlands in 1994, 2nd in the Grand Prix of Amsterdam, 2nd
Darmstadt, 2nd Lanaken, 2nd Helsinki and 2nd Gothenburg. The last
three years Concorde was the sire with the most offspring at the
World Breeding Championships for young horses. The Œpreferent¹
Concorde has proved himself to be an absolute top sire of
international sporthorses. His offspring Audi¹s Jikke, Kathja,
Conquest II, Larino, Viktor and Isabella proved themselves at the
very top at Grand Prix level (1.60 m.) and World Cup jumping. In the
Grand Prix of Rotterdam 3 from the top 8, had Concorde to thank as
their sire. At the World Cup final at Las Vegas had 4 offspring in
the finals! Concorde was the youngest stallion ever to be awarded
Œpreferent¹, due to his endless list of national and international
children.. Concorde was elected ³Horse of the Year² in 2004 and is
the highest ranked KWPN stallion in the top ten of the WBFSH!! |
