Colestus

The Grand Prix stallion Colestus has been high-profile from a young age and is proving himself in breeding on all fronts. The Cornet Obolensky son already produced several famous showjumpers, the most famous of which is probably Kent Farrington’s Greya. Under Farrington, Greya won the Rolex Grand Prix of La Baule in 2024 and the mare is among the greatest talents of her generation. Chuck Marienshof Z was also particularly successful last year; under Lars Kersten’s saddle, he jumped clear in several Nations Cups and was crowned EEF Horse of the Year. A jumping phenomenon by Colestus is also the Katharina Rhomberg-ridden Colestus Cambrigde, who competed in the Olympics in Paris at the age of only nine. Nayel Nassar’s Jiminy Cricket and Christian Ahlmann’s Classic Dream also jumped impressive win sums.

At Ludger Beerbaum’s stable, Colestus was an unparalleled jumping talent from day one, jumping at 1.60m level at a young age. As an eight-year-old, under Marco Kutscher and Ludger Beerbaum, he jumped several prizes at CSI5* level and later, under Christian Kukuk, Colestus also achieved sensational results at the highest level.

Colestus’ sire Cornet Obolensky needs no further explanation as a breeding and sport stallion and the same is actually true for grandsire Stakkato. In addition to Colestus, dam Spice Girl R produced several successful showjumpers and several international showjumpers also come from his dam’s line.
