Details
An athletic sport horse through
and through. Long legs, noble looks, always elastic – an ambitious
jumper stallion with a great attitude. He qualified for the
Bundeschampionat as a five and six year old and took second place at
the State Championships in Rastede in 2005. In 2006 as well, the Danish
Nations Cup rider, Sören Pedersen, won ribbons in advanced level tests
at many national as well as international competitions with this
meanwhile seven year old Hanoverian and will be showing him in more
international competitions in 2007.
His foals turn out well and
several of them qualified for the German Foal Championships, which
earned Abke the Ib main premium at the 2003 approval in Oldenburg. Two
years later at the same location, his first son (out of the same dam
line as the Dutch jumper-maker, Zuidhorn) was licensed. In 2006 another
son was licensed in Redefin, awarded a premium and stationed at the
State Stud. Abke passes on only dark colours; there are no chestnuts.
His sire, Acorado, won his
performance test and participated at the Bundeschampionat before he
unfortunately died at a very early age. But his off-spring still
influence what goes on in Warendorf. In 2005 he presented the Vice
Champion in the class for five year olds and the bronze medal winner in
the class for six year olds. Through Acorado, Contender and Raphael,
Abke is inbred over the legendary stallions Cor de la Bryère and Ramiro
and his dam line produced the State Stud sire, Rivero II, who is highly
popular, not just in Bavaria.
