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.
