Classe (Holst)

[FrodoBeutlin]

Does anyone have any info, however vague (!), on this stallion's progeny?

Holsteiner, Chin Chin x Acobat II x Alaska.

Thanks a lot.

As he is only 5 his progeny may be thin on the ground! Suspect you have seen the link: http://www.primaequestrian.com/fs_roster_classe.php

Looks like a smart horse with very nice breeding and very long legs!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Thank you for the link, no, I hadn't found any info in English so that's greatly appreciated.

I have found a couple of ridden videos of Classe himself and didn't look too striking to me, but I would like to know as much as possible. I hadn't realised he is only 5!

The reason I ask is that I have just been told of a filly by him with apparently amazing movement (as in three truly outstanding paces...), but both sire and dam have 100% sj bloodlines... Quite odd.

Looking at the video it would be quite easy to mistake him for a Fuerst Heinrich at first glance!

Chin Chin's are usualy quite powerful movers. What is the mare's breeding?

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Thanks Bearskin, that is again very helpful about Chin Chin (whom I had never, ever heard of...my knowledge of sj lines is non-existent!).

The dam is Anglo-Arabian! Don't know anything else.

It's quite a long way for me to go, but a friend of mine who lives more locally is going this week to make a video for me, so we'll see. Will keep you posted, no doubt

Chin Chin's conformation and movement traits from the KWPN: http://hengsten.kwpn.nl/openbaar/ab...deel=exterieurindex&lang=uk&knpnr=H0000005686

His sons also seem to inherit his above average movement

VDL Stud own him - http://www.vdlstud.com/paard/3/0/124/springpaarden/classe.htm Its in English. There is no chilled semen available to the UK, but perhaps frozen is.

Thanks for that! The filly in question is in Holstein, not in the UK

It is the Farnese in the bloodline that improves the movement. Classe has Farnese on both the sire and dam side.
