Ahorn is producing jumping prospects with
excellent conformation, lots of scope and plenty of power
to perform at the highest levels. He is the sire of several
show jumpers including AK High Valley Z (Jos Lansink), the
recent winner of the TNT Sires of the Century competition
for the second year running, Eleva (Eric van der Vleuten),
V & L Chanel (Jeroem Dubbeldam), Ihorn (Mark van Dijk), Ivoor
(Francois Mathy Jr.) and Jeremy (Albert Zoer). He has produced
a number of champion mares and five approved sons, including
Hattrick.
Ahorn is by one of the top KWPN producers,
the legendary Nimmerdor (by Farn), sire of over 40 approved
stallions including Wellington, Goodtimes and Amethist. With
42 offspring competing internationally, Nimmerdor was ranked
29th on the World Breeding Federation's ranking for 1992-2001.
Currently 25% of the top 150 Dutch show jumpers are out of
broodmares by Nimmerdor. Ahorn's dam, Hyacinthe, a German
state premium mare, was awarded Keur, IBOP AA, Preferent and
Prestatie status - the highest distinctions that the KWPN
grants successful broodmares.
Ahorn was a top competitor in his
own right and, under Albert Voorn, he was short-listed for
the Dutch Team in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. This stallion
showed extensively in grand prix, excelling in Amsterdam,
Geneva, The Hague and Zurich, and his performance has earned
him the prefix "Olympic".
