performance. In 1992, his
sire, Coriano, was leased by the
Holstein Verband to Baden-Württemberg
for two years. In 1996 Coriano won
silver at the Bundeschampionat. When he
was seven, he placed in S-level to Grand
Prix. The end of 2002 he was leased to
the Belgian Gestüt Zangersheide where he
won the championships for junior riders
under Judy Ann Melchior. In 2004 he
returned to Holstein. So far, Coriano
has sired 17 licensed sons and numerous
off-spring that have been highly
successful in sport such as the current
team world champion in show jumping, Van
Schindel’s Curtis/Piet Raymakers/NED.
The dam, Romanze, produced successful
dressage horses as well as jumpers by
various stallions. The dam's sire,
Ricardo, Elite stallion in
Baden-Württemberg, produced four
licensed sons of which Ringo
Starr/Ludwig Ziegler, Risandro/Samatha
McIntosh/BUL and Ratsherr/Toni Hassmann
compete internationally. Through the
Thoroughbred stallion Ladykiller, the
third generation sire, Labrador, is a
three-quarter brother of Landgraf, a
stallion of the century. The third
generation dam, Tänzerin, produced a
licensed stallion named Rico (by
Ricardo; State Stud Marbach). Cyrano de
Bergerac comes from the Hanoverian
performance line of Ahnenflamme (by
Ahoi-Dekan, etc.) which is also known
for the double Bundeschampion, Rusti (PB
Oldenburg).
"A top athlete like Cyrano de Bergerac
is always distinguished by a number of
naturally given attributes such as
character, rideability, movement
potential, attitude and ambition as well
as an outstanding jumping sequence
paired with fast power and enormous
jumping ability, caution and the ability
to regenerate quickly. Cyrano de
Bergerac's success all the way up to
World Cups is the logical consequence of
the extremely esteemed genes he has
inherited. His foal crop last year with
three show winners, a Reserve Champion
and a number of foals that received a
premium once again shows that he passes
on the traits for movement he inherited
from his dam line, making him a
jumper-maker who also passes on good
movements." Franke Sloothaak
