CARAMBOLE

Carambole is one of the absolute greats of his generation. In sports, the impressive stallion performed phenomenally from an early age under the saddle of Willem Greve; his spectacular victory in the Grand Prix of Jumping Amsterdam will remain in the minds of many. But his Grand Prix victories in Knokke, Drachten, Hardelot and Wierden were also admirable, as were his performances in the Nations Cups of Rotterdam, La Baule, Falsterbo and Copenhagen. In 2020, Carambole again showed that he
belongs to the absolute world top by finishing fourth in the Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard.

Carambole himself is a son of the foundation sire Cassini I, who has already produced so many top stallions, such as Cumano, Berlin and Cabrio van de Heffinck. Carambole’s
grandsire Concerto II brings in the valuable genes of Contender and great-grandsire Sir Shostakovich xx provides thoroughbred input. In breeding, Carambole knows how to convince in all areas. Many offspring already jump at top level, of which Hello Senator by Scott Brash is probably the best known. As a seven-year-old, Hello Senator already won bronze at the World Championships in Lanaken and later he grew into a world star with, among other things, a victory in the Grand Prix of St. Tropez, a second place in the Rolex Grand Prix of Geneva and a third place in the World Cup of Stuttgart. Other Grand Prix jumping offspring of Carambole include Elien (Katharina Offel), Frasier (Dennis van den Brink), Elina (Charles Luyckx), Frederiks (Christoph Könemann), Formidable (Willem Greve), La Caramba (Rodrigo Pessoa) and Flambeau (Harry Marshall).
