Ustinov
was the uncontested showjumping champion of the 2004 KWPN stallion
selection. His beautiful exterior, his superb canter and last but
not least his remarkable jumping manners made him stand out among
his contemporaries. In the KWPN performance test Ustinov again
showed his remarkable qualities and got rewarded with not a single
mark below 8.5 for the showjumping components and an 8.5 for his
canter. Ustinov's great exterior and jumping qualities are deeply
anchored in his pedigree. His sire is the showjumping horse producer
Libero H, a legend already in his lifeitme. With Jos Lansink this
son of Landgraf I won a respectable series of World Cup competitions
and Grand Prix, highlight being his fantastic victory of the
's-Hertogenbosch World Cup finals in 1994. His fighting spirit in
combination with his jumping skills and incredible reflexes made the
stallion almost unbeatable that season.
In total Libero H has less than 600 registrated offspring. More
than 50 of these are or have been competing at 1.50m or higher
international showjumping levels. It is remarkable that many of his
internationally successful products also carry the blood of
Nimmerdor. Liberty, Coonawarra, Ikoon and Iowa are just a few
examples. This fact makes Ustinov's pedigree even more interesting,
for he also carries the blood of Nimmerdor on his mother's side.
Ustinov has successfully competed In the KWPN stallion competitions
were he got rewarded with very high grades for his jumping
abilities. Presentation of his first offspring in 2006 impressed
everyone with their exceptional movement. |
