What a way to start June, Anke delivered a gorgeous chestnut colt. It’s the one we have been waiting for, a Kannan colt.
We named him Kirrie Kannan. His mother Anke (by Abke) is the half sister of the famous Codex One. Codex One has first made a name for himself in 2004 where he was the top selling horse at the Hanoverian Spring Elite Auction. He was sold as a licensed stallion at Euro 170000. In 2007, he placed in the finals of the Hanoverian State Championship and in the Bundeschampionate in Warendorf.
It was in 2010 when Codex One took the international jumper scene by placing second under Karl Brocks at the CSI4* Indoor Grossen Preis von Frankfurt a.M. Following those achievements, the stallion moved to the stables of German Olympic rider Christian Ahlmann who then developed the stallion’s skills and talents and had great success with him. One of Ahlmann’s and Codex One’s biggest highlights was when they won the Grand Prix in Aachen in 2014.
Kannan needs no introduction. Kannan is the current WBFSH number one jumping stallion. In 2011, he was the WBFSH number 8 eventing stallion. No other stallion has ever made this achievement.

The breeding season is open now. Which stallion will you pick? The answer certainly may vary.
Some of us will choose well known stallion. Some others prefer new young stallions who just got licensed last year.
Of course there is no rights or wrongs. This thing may always be subjective matter. But if we see the most recent list of the horses with the most earning that was published after the World Cup Final in Las Vegas, it may help us to pick the right one.
On the top of the list there is Quasimodo van de Molendreef, represented by the gelding Hello Sanctos. Hello Sanctos earned in total Euro 317,557. In the second place is Kannan’s mare Albfuehren’s Paille. She earned Euro 287,840.
Albfuehren’s Paille leads Kannan progenies. At the top 10, we can find two other horses by Kannan, Diva II (8th) and Molly Malone V (9th). Each of other stallion only represented by only one horse in the top 10.
If we broadened to the top 20, there is another horse by Kannan, Quorida de Treho in the 13th position. Four Kannan’s in the top 20 followed by two Quidam de Revel’s, Verdi (18th) and Myself de Breve (19th).

Our mare St.Pr.St Alpacca (As di Villagana – Calypso II) delivered a stunning colt last night. The colt is the son of our own Premium Stallion Countselo (Canstakko – Contendro I).
Countselo (2011) got a breeding value (HLP for jumping) of 133 at his stallion performance test in 2014. His score in parcour jumping under foreign rider was 8.00. His canter also gives him an 8.00.
The brown stallion by Canstakko – Contendro I –Calypso II proved himself what a really gentleman he is. He got 9.00 in character and temperament. Last month Countselo awarded the Stakkato Prize as one of the three best four-year-old jumping stallions based on the results of the previous Stallion Performance Test in 2014.
Meanwhile Alpacca is the full sister of the licensed stallion Asti’s Amsterdam who is approved for Hanoverian Jumper breeding program. In the 30-day performance test in 2004, Asti’s Amsterdam got a perfect 10 for jumping scope and 9.25 for style.
Alpacca is by As Di Villagana who has had a stellar career as a show jumper after exported to USA where he won many GP competitions.
Any name suggestion started with a C is welcome!
