Cartier is a fabulous mover whose pedigree promises incredible jumping ability. She is an Elite mare candidate for the AHS and is in the Main Mare Book for the Oldenburg Verband. Cartier, while bred to jump, has a very elevated trot, and a powerful canter making her an ideal broodmare for producing all round performers. She also carries a sabino gene making her very attractive to anyone who wishes to breed colored dressage horses. We have designated Cartier as a "Super Mare". Not only does she produce wonderful babies but she has also adopted an orphan filly to raise along side her own daughter. These maternal qualities are well prized in a breeding mare. She has proven her quality by producing 6 out of 7 First Premium foals.
Her sire Cordalme is by the legendary Selle Francais stallion Cor de la Bruyere and was the winner of the Grand Prix of Achen and a member of the German Nation's Cup team. Cordalme Z has had a great influence on German show jumping and was short-listed for the '96 Olympic Games. He was a premium stallion in 1988 and 1990. His sire, Cor de la Bruyere, represents the best jumping attributes and his sons share his ability to pass on dominant genetics for success in the sport. Cordalme's dam, Aleska Z, has two other approved sons, Royal Z, who was the first champion stallion of the 1987 Danish stallion performance test, and Royal II was second vice-champion of the 1988 approval in Herning, vouching for the prepotency of this dam line. Aleska Z also produced the mare Rolanda by Roland, who has had many international successes since 1994. She won the Rastede Grand Prix, the tournament of champions in Munster, Aix la, Chapelle, Geesteren, Berlin, the World Cup show jumping com petition in Millstreet, Ireland and the city of Frankfurt competition. Cordalme Z himself was the winner of the Falsterbo, Sweden Nation's Cup, highly placed in the Grand Prix' of Modena, Italy, Barcelona, Spain and the German Masters in Stuttgart. He was third in the North-Rhine Westphalian Grand Prix in Aix la Chapelle and second in the finals of the German Classics in Bremen. After an initial indication of his prepotency through Cordijan, Cordalme Z made his international breakthrough in 2000--when he produced two horses for the Sydney Olympic Games, Clawaro and Careful. His son Colour Robin is a German Nation Jumping Champion and a top ten finisher in the 2005 World Cup.
