Corrado I has not disappointed.
On the contrary, he has proven himself again and again by
achieving the highest of honours throughout his career. As
a breeding stallion, Corrado I has had impeccable results.
He now has no less than 111 approved daughters and 60 approved
sons, including Coriano, and the KWPN approved stallion, Indorado.
Corrado I is from the absolute proven
cross of Cor de la Bryere and Capitol. Cor de la Bryere, a
great name in Holsteiner breeding and considered one of the
most important foundation sires of the 20th century, is respected
for producing offspring with unquestionable rideability while
the Capitol line is known for sheer level-headedness.
Corrado I began by winning his stallion
performance test with the highest jumping index of his fellow
contenders with a score of 137 points, twice receiving scores
of 10.0 for his loose jumping and jumping ability/training
and scores of 8.0 for rideability and gallop.
First campaigned at the German Show Jumping
Championship in 1991, he eventually became the epitome of
jumping sires and a permanent fixture of international show
jumping under Franke Sloothak. His win at Aachen, considered
the toughest competition in the world, set the stage and in
1994 Corrado I won the German National Championships. In 1996
he became World Cup champion in Aarhus, Denmark, and Grand
Prix champion at Neumunster and Kiel.
Regarded as devoid of Ladykiller xx blood,
he has been invaluable for upgrading the partly impoverished
blood basis of the Holsteiner mares. By 2001 13 of his offspring
had made it to international show jumping level including
Cosima II (Markus Fuchs), Copaco Cher (Piet Raymakers) and
Elan Coriana (Aaron Vale).
The famous stallion Corrado I (Cor de
Bryere (AngN) - Soleil x Capitol I) presented a good quality
group of sons, from which Carry Wind (dam's sire Locato x
Rocco, lineage 162) and Casiano (dam's sire Lord x Farnese)
were approved for breeding. Corrado I was also represented
by two descendants of his son Coriano (dam's sire Lord x Ramiro,
lineage 318d2). - Jac Remijnse, Breeding News for Sport
