Corfu de la Vie

Information

About & Performance - Corfu is a large-framed stallion who underwent an impressive development from the time he was presented for pre-selection to the actual Neumünster stallion grading. The Cumano son’s most outstanding points are his big frame, his strong top-line and his correct legs. The stallion’s tremendous jumping ability is particular impressive. Despite his height, he is an agile jumper with very good reactions. His quality canter is of particular importance for a future show jumping career.

Sire - The Cassini I blood has had a great impact on a whole era of Holsteiner breeding, culminating in his son Cumano and Jos Lansink winning the 2006 WEG. Other than Cumano, in particular Eurocommerce Berlin, Rosalia la Silla, Carino and Carambole have earned worldwide recognition for the Cassini I blood and thus the Holsteiner studbook. Cumano’s importance lies not only in his sporting career but also in his stud value. Bred only for a few years, first and foremost in Belgium and France, he is a household name through offspring like Neptune Brecourt, Navalo de Poheton and Chilli Pepper van de Helle.

Damline - Corfu’s dam and her bloodline are of great value. Lord daughter Hera’s produce includes Colore, a licensed stallion successfully shown in competition as well as the FEI sport horses Colora and Quido van de Helle. Through the tail female line, she carries two stallions very typical for the Witt family’s breeding programme, Romino and Sacramento Song/TB.

Progeny - Corfu’s first foals showed a lot of promise. A filly out of a Rigoletto-Acord I dam bred by Martin Prignitz, Kollmoor, proved particularly convincing. She won the foal championship of Steinburg breeding district and placed second in the VTV/R+V Holsteiner foal championship in Bad Segeberg. A colt by Corfu de la Vie out of a C-Indoctro-Calido I dam (Hermann Blohm, Hodorf) also won the foal championship of Steinburg breeding district and stirred a lot of interest. Another filly by Corfu out of an Askari dam was sold through the Elmshorn elite foal auction sale.
