Burgraff
Burggraaf was very successful in the heavier classes of the National Stallion Competition, of which he won the finals and six of seven rounds. Under Roelof Bril, he cleared the 2.10 meter during the puissance of Indoor Brabant in 1991, and in 1993 they were Reserve Champion of the 1.40m class for KWPN stallions. Burggraaf ‘s very high jumping index of 152 shows in such offspring as Burggravin, Procops Dumbo, Sublieft, Hevalietje, Jumper, and Graaf. Many of his offspring are Star and Keur. He is also a producer of excellent movement; the Grand Prix Dressage horses Florijn and Louisville being examples.

Cor de la bryere
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.’ He has over 85 approved sons and 86 states premium mares

Voltaire

Voltaire needs no introduction as an exceptional International showjumper, with the most offspring of any stallion at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, and second in the World Breeding Ranking of Showjumping Sires. As an eight year old, Voltaire jumped 1.50 meter courses with a great deal of success. His strength was shown in 1988 International Jumping events at Calgary, Stockholm, Lanaken, Helsinki, Wiesbaden, and Wembley. In 1989, he brought his career to a successful conclusion winning the Grand Prix of Berlin with Jos Lansink, and second in the Leeuwarden Grand Prix. He has over 50 approved sons, with many offspring at Grand Prix level, including Finesse, Altaire, Kahlua, Play It Again, Helios, Electro, Kannan, and Especial. Another offspring, Foltaire, is famous in the International dressage arena under Gunther Seidel. Voltaire has been awarded USA “Huntersire of the Year” for 2001, 2002, and 2003; and is one of the top KWPN Jumping Sires with an Index of 151 points.
