Sire Details
PEDIGREE:
Cor de la Bryere introduced that extra something, adding the flexibility and dexterity that was often required in the Holstein breed, whose traditional strengths lay in performance. He thus managed to establish a good reputation for himself in all sections of the sport as well as in breeding. The combination with the at times somewhat stiff
Capitol progeny was an optimal melding of maximal ability and elasticity that frequently produced unequalled results.
Maestose xx in the third generation introduced the thoroughbred blood that is so indispensable for
Capitol I descendants. Although
Maestose xx only had limited influence, he produced an especially valuable sire in the advanced showjumper
Maracaibo.
Corrado I is devoid of
Ladykiller xx blood, and for that reason alone, is invaluable for upgrading the partly impoverished blood basis of Holstein mares. The dam
Soleil from the same mating combination, produced the full-brother
Corrado II, who was approved in 1994. The grandam
Kurette presented the showjumper
Lutschino (by
Landego) as well as the double talented showjumper and dressage horse
Fandarina (by
Fantus). The damline moreover brought forth the stallion
Chellano Z (by
Contender), who is out of a full-sister of
Corrado I and
11.
PERFORMANCE:
Corrado I achieved the highest jumping index of his fellow contenders at the stallion performance test with a score of 137 points, whereby he twice attained the score of 10.0 for loose jumping and jumping ability/training.

He furthermore had tournament successes, being victorious in showjumping competitions many times and was a finalist at the German Showjumping Championships in Munich in 1991.

Then in 1994, he was winner of the World Cup qualification of Dortmund and came third in the Aix la Chapelle Nation's Cup and in 1996,
Corrado 1 became World Cup champion in Aarhus (Denmark) as well as champion of the Grand Prix' of Neumunster and Kiel.
PROGENY:
Fourteen
Corrado I sons have thus far been approved. These are on active covering duty in diverse German breeding regions.
Corrado I's offspring are nigh to unbeatable in showjumper classes. They are convincing time and again, frequently with sensational rounds at the federal championships in Warendorf. The approved
Coriano, likewise in the services of the Holstein Association was vice-champion in Germany's riding capital in 1996. A number of offspring are already enjoying international successes. His son
