The Holsteiner stallion Libero H was a sensational competitor before going on to an equally successful stud career.
Libero started his Grand Prix jumping career with Dutch star, Jos Lansink at the age of seven, winning the Grand Prix at Lanaken. The following year he won two more Grand Prix before really hitting form in 1990, when he was 11th individually at the WEG in Stockholm, and won two Grand Prix and one World Cup Qualifier and one Nations Cup. In 1994 he won the World Cup Final in Den Bosch – as well as four qualifiers!
In all he placed in 211 international competitions, winning 51 of them! He won 10 World Cup qualifiers and 12 Grand Prix.
He has been no less successful as a producer of jumping horses. With less than 600 offspring the number of international showjumping horses by him is truly remarkable.
From all his progeny competing in the sport over 25% is jumping at international levels.
Libero H is represented in international showjumping by successful jumping horses such as Numero Uno (dam by Lord Calando) with Marco Kutscher, Olymp (Sandro) and Angelique Hoorn, Castle Forbes Libertina (Polydor) and Jessica Kürten, Lolita H (Grannus) & Toni Hassmann, Castle Forbes Maike (Lucky Boy xx) & Jessica Kürten, No Mercy (Dillenburg) & Christina Liebherr. Both Maike and No Mercy competed at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
At the 2004 KWPN stallion selection his son, Ustinov was awarded for his outstanding showjumping qualities by receiving the title KWPN Stallion Champion 2004.
Libero H ranked 9th in Bernard le Courtois’ top 75 stallions in the 2007/2008 edition of Monneron, on the basis of 22 CSI winners.
