THE MAKING OF THE
MODERN WARMBLOOD
From Gotthard to Gribaldi
by Christopher Hector
From Gotthard to Gribaldi is the product of over 20
years of research by equestrian journalist Christopher
Hector, in all the major breeding areas of the world.
Over that time he has interviewed most of the more
important breeders and breeding experts to produce
a work that brings together – for the first time in the
English language – the most influential performance
horse stallions in all Europe’s major breeding areas,
from France to Scandinavia, through Germany,
Holland and Belgium over the past 50 years. 144
Stallions are individually examined with pedigrees
and photos, all of the major studbooks are profiled,
and many of their key players interviewed. This is a
work destined to become the standard reference for
students of the warmblood breed.

Gotthard just
tually it would have been nice to leave him out: stallions
born after1950,whichwouldbeneater.He almostdoesn’tmake it on another count–he reallydoesn’t
look that modern… although his offspring do on the whole look much typier than their dad*. The
other problem is that Gotthard never really established a line. No stallion son ever really emerged to
continue the dynasty.
Why is he here then?Well there are just toomany influentialmodern stallionswithGotthard on their
dam line to leave him out – and also hewas a great producer of top-level competitors.Andwe can use
theopportunity to introduceoneof themostpowerful and innovativeofGermanWarmblood studbooks
– theHanoverianVerband.
For sevenyearsGotthardwas the leading sireof showjumpers inGermany.Duringhis timehe siredover
34 licensed stallion sons - themosthighly rated ofwhichwasGoldbergwhowasbased inWestfalia for
only four seasons. InHanover,Gardestern Iwas themost important,while the private stallions,Gold-
pilz,Goldstern andGodehardwere all influential in theirday.More recentlyhisgreat-grandson,Grosso
Zhas emerged asperhapshismost interestingheir.Gotthardwas the sireof international showjumpers:
Goya,Goldika,Gonzales,Galipolis,QueenswayBigQ,Goldfink,GoldenGate,Graf Sieno andGraf2.
Gotthard’s son,Genever siredGenius, theWorldCup ShowjumpingChampion of 1992.Another son,
Goldpilz is the sire of JohnWhitaker’sGamon.
(*There is a rumour, thatwhen the demand forGotthardwas great,way back in the dayswhen stallions actually jumped theirmares, the local
stallion keeper occasionally used his second stallion, a chestnutTrakehner in his stead.Don’t laugh– as youwill discover before you finish this book,
there are serious questions as to the ancestry of several of themore important sireswewill be looking at.)
