ONASSIS TN

(GRANDORADO TN X QUASIMODO VAN DE MOLENDREEF)

At the KWPN Stallion Show, Onassis already stood out as one of the most complete stallions of his year and he also convinced in the KWPN Performance Test. With a score of 82.5 points, the Grandorado TN son earned his KWPN breeding license convincingly. Onassis’ combines the excellent genes of Grandorado TN with Heartbreaker son Quasimodo van de Molendreef and former Team Nijhof greats Voltaire and Burggraaf.

Ridden by Willem Greve, sire Grandorado TN is among the most successful sport stallions of the moment. Due to an unfortunate injury of his rider, Grandorado TN missed out on participation in the World Championships in Herning, but with three double clear rounds in five-star Nations Cups and a victory in the Grand Prix of Indoor Friesland, Grandorado TN has had a highly successful 2022. He also made his mark in breeding; Onassis is already Grandorado’s fifth KWPN-approved son.

In addition to an excellent pedigree full of foundation sires, Onassis’ genetics are traced back to an excellent Dutch family. Great-granddam Richella is the full sister of the famous Burggravin, who won multiple Grand Prix competitions at the highest level with Roelof Bril. In breeding, Burggravin stood at the base of many international showjumpers, including the world-famous stallions Darry Lou and F-One USA. Among others, Darry Lou won the Rolex Grand Prix of Calgary and jumped very successfully last year with Harrie Smolders. F-One USA made his championship debut in 2022 and reached the individual final of the World Championships in Herning ridden by Lorenzo de Luca.

Onassis himself stands out for his push from the floor, great reflexes and athletic ability. He scored no less than five 8.5s in the performance test; an 8.5 for canter, reflexes, technique and talent as a showjumper.
