Avant L'heure RPH
2016 CWB filly
Aquilan Calypso x Donatella
Avant L'heure RPH
This special filly, was born 42 days early, in a time frame that left her simple survival in question. She has blown us away, and thrived. I asked my vet how this tiny lady little lady could defy the odds, and her answer was simply her will to survive. We are obviously delighted and doing everything we can to keep her healthy and facilitate her continued progress.
Her sire, Aquilan Calypso or "Ace", has been a hardworking guy his whole life, jumping in over a hundred grand prixs. We are his retirement home, and we love having him. His babies are sweet, kind and easy to train. They also have his elegant, cadenced movement.
Ace’s dad is Ahorn Z. Ahorn Z became an international jumping legend with the Dutch team competing in many World Cups and Grand Prix. He is famous for producing international show jumpers and breeding stallions, including Acord I, Acord II, and Acord III. Ahorn Z transmits courage, determined character and sincere force and structure without removing class. Ahorn's dam, Heureka, competed internationally and had many wins in Hamburg, Aachen, Bruxelles, Noerten-Hardenberg, Vienna, and Berlin, and won the Grand Prix of Aachen. She was one of the most successful international jumpers in the period 1969-71, and is ranked as one of the best broodmares in the world.
Ace’s mom is by Calypso I. Calypso I produced both dressage stars as well as international jumpers. He is said to be one of the most significant sires and most uniform producer of elegant performance horses. He is considered an important pre-potent sire that consistently produced fabulous gaits and scopey movements in his get. He has 10 stallion sons and over 140 approved daughters.
Avant L'heure's mom, Tella's pedigree on the top side goes back to Donnerhall. Donnerhall’s talent was apparent right from the start, and he scored 131.92 to be second in his performance test at Adelheidsdorf in 1984. Donnerhall’s competition career is the stuff of legend. He represented the highest combination of breeding and sports successes. His sports career was full of pinnacles:1986 honoured as DLG champion stallion, at the WEG at The Hague in 1994 with his lifelong rider Karin Rehbein he won team gold- and in free style the bronze medal. This result was repeated at the 1997 at the European Championships at Verden with Gold in the team and bronze in the individual. In 1998, Donnerhall and Karin Rehbein returned from the WEG at Rome with team gold and an outstanding fourth place in the individual results. Donnerhall won the World Cup European League, as well as being the Oldenburg dressage stallion of the year in 1997 and 1998 respectively. At the end of 1998 he was farewelled from competition, "fresh" at seventeen years of age.
Also in her pedigree, 1996 Hannoverian of the year, World Cup I. On the bottom side of her pedigree is Pik Koenig and Diamont. Diamont (Durkheim x SPS Babette/Bleep xx) was a noted dressage sire and was ranked first in 1994, 1996 and 1997 by the USDF among all Hanoverian stallions for producing USDF Horse of the Year qualifiers. In 1995 he was the 7th leading producer of qulifiers among stallions of all breeds in the U.S. He produced three licensed stallions and fourteen Elite Hanoverian mares. Diamont has three offspring currently competing successfully in Euorpean dressage circles His offspring are well noted for being successful in all the sport horse disciplines including dressage, Grand Prix show jumping and eventing.
