LIBERO H x NIMMERDOR x MARCO POLO x POLARIS KWPN 01.10827, 1.67m, bay, 2001 Breeder: G. van der Veen, Ommeren
Ustinov was the undisputed champion of the 2004 KWPN Stallion Show. His superb conformation and jumping qualities are deeply anchored in his pedigree. His sire is the legendary Libero H. Together with Jos Lansink, this son of Landgraf I won a remarkable series of World Cup competitions and Grands Prix, highlighted by their fantastic victory in the 1994 World Cup Finals. His fighting spirit, combined with exceptional jumping skills and reflexes, made the stallion almost unbeatable.
Under German rider Caroline Müller, Ustinov competed successfully at international shows such as Moorsele, Münster, Verden, and Neustadt Dosse. His full sister, Maifa, further proves the strength of this lineage as the dam of the jumping phenomenon Calimero (Marc Houtzager) and the 1.60m jumper Zilverstar VDL.
Ustinov continues to rank high on the WBFSH list and has produced numerous international 1.60m jumpers. Prominent examples include MTM Vivre Le Reve, Noah de Kalverie, Kingston, Alid Nike, and Jagger HX, who excelled last year at the CSIO5 Dublin Horse Show*.
USTINOV: STALLION CHAMPION: CARRYING THE LEGACY OF LIBERO H!
Van Gogh’s son Karius (ds.Drossan, bred by Jurgen van Leur) has definitively
broken through at the highest level under Kaitlin Campbell, as he proved
again last week at the GCT event in Mexico City.
Donthargos is increasingly making his mark as a breeding stallion. Earlier
this year, his offspring Rabenhaupt B was already crowned VSN champion,
and last week young talents by Donthargos once again stood out.
