Abke

His sire Acorado I was the winner of the 1997 stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf, where he was twice awarded the maximum score of 10.00 for his overwhelming jumping ability. He successfully participated in the federal German show jumping championships in 1999 and 2000 following wins in series in show jumper tests in the elementary and intermediate classes in both 1999 and 2000. Acorado I's first few crops of foals were very convincing in several different breeding regions and enriched the breeding association auctions with top prices a number of times. The dam sire Contender is one of the most proven Holstein sires of performance per se, who has already presented numerous approved sons in the most diverse of breeding areas. In 1987 he managed to decide the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf in his favour with a jumping index of 146.62 points. He has dominated the FN breeding value ratings for years now. Raphael, the third link in the chain of ancestry, is one of the most significant contemporary transmitters of performance. The threefold inbreeding to Ramiro and Cor de la Bryere in the earlier generations is remarkable. The dam line moreover brought forth the renown sires Agrigento (private stallion Oldenburg), Grandelstein (state stallion Neustadt/Dosse), Kadett (Celle state stallion), Noble Dancer (private stallion Oldenburg), President (Belgium) as well as the Bavarian state stallions Rivero I (South German Riding Horse champion) and Rivero II (approval and stallion performance test winner), who are both successful international dressage horses.

Abke absolved a way above average aptitude test in Vechta in 2002.
