1971 Champion of the Holsteiner 100 Day Test. His incredible bascule and jumping ability is credited with improving the Holsteiner jumping style. He also passed on his strong nerves, intelligence and great willingness to perform.
A Warmblood/TB cross ?Corde? was purchased by the Holsteiner Verband as a consolidation sire, to prevent loss of too much substance or mind, as most Holsteiner mares were being outcrossed to TBs to increase lightness and athletic ability.
