\"Krack<\/a><\/h1>\n

1992 – 2017 169 cm Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breeder: Stoeterij \u2018t\u2019 Centrum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Krack C is by one the most successful Dutch sire of dressage horses, Flemmingh, and out of a mare that is solidly jumping bred: by the Lucky Boy son, Beaujolais out of a mare by a son of Farn.<\/p>\n

So there is nothing on Krack C\u2019s dam line that says \u2018Dressage\u2019 \u2013 except the way he moves\u2026<\/p>\n

I remember seeing Krack C in a Young Horse display at the 1997 World Cup final in s\u2019Hertogenbosch, and I\u2019d never seen such a spectacular trot before, ever\u2026 indeed I was told at the show, that some of the Dutch breeders when they saw the colt at the licensing believed that artificial means must have been used to produce such huge extensions.<\/p>\n

Since then, Krack C has come through the ranks, and represented Holland with Anky van Grunsven at the 2002 WEG and perhaps at this level one starts to note that while the front legs are still spectacular, the hind legs are not quite matching the front.<\/p>\n

Still, he has been a very successful sire in Holland and has produced numerous successful young dressage horses. In 2001 and 2003, he sired the overall winners of the 3-year-old Riding Horses. In 2003, the mare, Terlia was champion of the National Mares Selection at Ermelo and VSN champion. The following year she was the most successful mare in the finals of the PAVO Cup, finishing in third place.<\/p>\n

His Grand Prix production has not been notable, so far as I can tell just one \u2013 Sonja Gademan\u2019s mare, Paso Doble.<\/p>\n

Krack C\u2019s licensed sons include: Redford (Ferro), Trento B (Ramiro), Tuschinski (Pion), Tolando (Rubinstein), United (Partout), Velazquez (Alasca), Vivaldi (Jazz), Webster (Ulft)and Zhivago (Jazz).<\/p>\n

In Germany, his son, Kaizer Franz (Rousseau) was licensed at the 2001 Oldenburg selection, and sired Kaiser Karl (out of a Lefevre mare) an Oldenburg licensing champion, and reserve champion of the three-year-old riding horse stallions at the Bundeschampionate in 2005.<\/p>\n

On the 2015 \/ 16 KWPN breeding values for stallions with a reliability of over 90%, Krack C is in 20th place, with a breeding value of 134 (97%). He has 1487 progeny over the age of 4, with 602 competitors, that’s 40.484%.\u00a0On the 2016\/17 values, Krack C is in 19th place with a value of 136 (Conformation – 108, free movement – 109). He is credited with 1509 progeny over 4, 626 competitors, that’s an impressive 41.48%.<\/p>\n

By 2021 Krack C has dropped out of the KWPN top 20, but his influence continues. His son, Vivaldi (Jazz) is 3rd, \u00a0another son, United (Partout) is 13th, while the fifth placed Apache is by UB40 out of a Krack C mare.<\/p>\n

Krack C, who had had soundness problems for several seasons, was retired from competition in February 2008 at an official ceremony at the 2008 KWPN Stallion Licensing.<\/p>\n

In May 2017, the KWPN recorded his death:<\/p>\n

Joop van Uytert tells KWPN: \u201cUp to his last day, Krack C was in really good shape. Of course, he was old and since this year we didn\u2019t use him anymore for coverings, but he went in the paddock daily and was happy. Last Saturday we even showed him to a group of young KWPN members. They had the chance to see him for the last time. This morning we put him out in the paddock, in between the mares. He was enjoying the sunshine when he suddenly died. It was actually quite peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n
