Holstein, premium foal, breeding book 1, 1,72m height
In November 2000 we have bought La Gomera from her breeder Hans-Peter Asmussen, Handewitt in Holstein. The first impression was deciding. Very sensitive, a really outstanding jumping ability and 3 excellent basic gaits. She is able to use her body over the jumps in a fantastic manner.
Ancestry: Her sire Tin Rocco has won international Grand Prixs, f.e. in Hamburg during the Derby. Especially he was stallion in Oldenburg and he is sire of a lot of dressage-, eventing- and jumping-horses of the international sport. Regarding the anuals of breeding & sport of the National Federation of Equestrian in Germany there was over 20% of the placed offspring of Tin Rocco successful in jumping competi- tions until the highest level during the last years. This amount is very high. In 1990 Tin Rocco was first in the breeding estimation of the FN in the branch jumping and dressage.
The sire of Tin Rocco, the thoroughbred Tin Rod xx, an elegant grey stallion, has an excellent movement. But he has a very difficult cha- racter, however his offspring was hard and powerful, with a good rideability.
The dam of Tin Rocco Bajade by Roman is also the dam of the licensed stallions Lord Roman and Lux. Roman was winner of jumping competitions until 1,60m and represented the Holsteiner Verband during the DLG-Show. You can find his precious blood in many pedigrees, he has bred a lot of stallion's dams.
The sire of La Gomera's dam Lakai by Latino - Flamberg is a top model regarding type and exterior with a spectacular trot and highest rideability. Additional he was an above-average stallion, who bred many good dressage- and jumping-horses. Unfortunately he was used little regarding his chesnut colour. The breeder of Holstein have a great problem with this colour, also if they have an outstanding quality. The great-grandpa Colt by Cromwell is still in the pedigrees of outstanding sport-horses regarding his high quality of his mareline (dam is Ulana by Anblick xx, mareline 242). For all that he was only two years in Holstein. He left offspring with a good character, toughness and performance.
Own performance: La Gomera passed the mare performance test with above-average scores. She has an unlimited potential in jumping with an outstanding technique, and she is very easy to ride, sensitive and willing to work. Additional the movement is excellent. Regarding an accident during the winter 2006 with a ligament rupture in the knee she is now in breeding.
Successes: Winner in jumping competitions until 1,25m with my nephew Alexander and also both passed with success the first competitions until 1,30m.
The mareline 776 is one of the greatest and most successful lines of Holstein. It is astonishing how much sport horses are member of this line. Jac Remijnse shows in his magazine Sporthorsebreeding that this line is regular the most successful line of jumping horses in the world. Starting in the middle of the 19th century the mareline is very old.

A beautyful and very noble filly, you could see the eightfold in-breeding to Ramzes x. Correct with a powerful top-line, much better isn't possible. She should stay for breeding.
It's terrible but we have to put her down regarding an encapsulated and hidden abscess at the backbone. Our little sunshine - we cannot believe it!
