When the famous Dutch breeder, Wiepke van de Lageweg found the Ladykiller mare, Hyazinthe, he secured a veritable gold mine. The tall elegant mare produced no less than three licensed stallion sons: Ahorn, Denver (Belgium) and Farmer (Britain). Two of her other foals became national level showjumpers, while another competed to Z level.<\/p>\n

Ahorn was himself an international performer, placing at a number of top European shows including Donaueschingen, Den Bosch, Winschoten and The Hague \u2013 as well as finishing 8th in the Dutch championship. Ahorn comes from the legendary 242 Holstein line, considered one of the best of that famous group of jumping bloodlines, and through that Ahorn is related to Joost, Alcatraz, Roderik, and Locarno.<\/p>\n

Ahorn was granted \u2018Preferent\u2019 status in 2001 and is the sire of ten approved stallion sons including AK High Valley Z, High Valley\u2019s full-brother, Noble Boy, Furore, Ohorn and Hattrick. Ahorn had four approved grandsons, including Kelvin (by Flemmingh).<\/p>\n

International jumpers by Ahorn include Dublin (Astrid W\u00f6ss), Feizal (Mario Deslauriers) and Ivor (Fran\u00e7ois Mathy Jr).<\/p>\n
