The young KWPN-approved stallion Numero
Uno has a promising future ahead of him. His progeny reports
state "beautiful, high-legged foals with plenty of presence,
a free-flowing trot, great suppleness and making an excellent
impression. The canter has fluid mobility and also makes a
good impression." His offspring continue to fetch the highest
bids at auction such as in Borculo, NED, in September 2002
when a Numero Uno foal out of a Voltaire dam was sold for
17,500.00 Euros. At Weert, NED, one of his offspring was the
second most expensive foal sold.
Numero Uno represents the best bloodlines
Holstein has to offer. He is the son of the Holsteiner stallion
Libero H (by Landgraf I) who won the 1994 World Cup Final
under Jos Lansink. This famous Holstein lineage, registered
under the number 429, produced the stallions Aldato (Anblick
xx), Heidelberg (Ladykiller xx) and Benedictus (Benvenuto
xx). Approved as a KWPN sire in 1989, Libero H is becoming
one of the most successful sires of his era. His offspring
competing internationally include the well-known U.S. competitor
Liberty, Laura Kraut's grand prix superstar and partner at
the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Carnegie Iowa, winner of the 2000
Sires of the World Championship, as well as Libra K, Ikoon,
Iris and Coonawarra.
Numero Uno's dam Jolanda is superbly bred,
touting the pedigree Lord Calando x Ahorn Z, the same lineage
as Jerry Smit's Olympic and World Cup partner Lux Z. She produced
a full sister to Numero Uno who was one of the most talented
show jumping horses of her age group. The grand dam Feinschnit
(Ahorn Z) produced the national show jumping horse Kapitol,
who competed in the five-year-old division at the World Championship
for Young Jumping Horses at Lanaken. Further back in Jolanda's
pedigree we also find Fernsicht (Ladykiller xx), a full sister
to show jumping producer Lorenz.
During his stallion performance testing
in Ermelo, Numero Uno received 9 for his canter and averaged
8.5 in jumping with scores of 9 for impression, 8 for technique,
8.5 for ability and 8.5 for jumping aptitude. Numero Uno was
equally rewarded with scores of 8.5 for impression and jumping
aptitude at the 1999/2000 stallion competition in Holland.
