Big super sweet colt, born June'24, by On Ira and out of our Holstein premium mare Cinderella. Obelix has a fabulous jumper pedigree, an in-your-pocket character and will be registered either with the Holstein or Westphalian Stud Book. His sire, On Ira is a Selle Francais stallion by Voltaire and Joyau D’Or A. His maternal half-brother is the 1.60 m Elite Stallion Krack Boom. However, On Ira himself is an impressive jumper: He double cleared at the World Championships in Lanaken as a 7 year old and was the best 8-year-old at the CSIO de La Baule. He was faultless at the World Stallion Championships in Lanaken 2010 and as a 9 years old, under Cian O’Connor, he was a Grand International Winner. He jumped 2m20 during the puissance CSIO of Rome and ranked 2nd at the CSIO of Dublin (see video below). Grandsire Voltaire hardly needs any introduction. He was the result of crossing two outstanding bloodlines: Furioso II and Gotthard. Furioso II produced 200 state premium mares and at least 70 approved stallions of which several are standing at stud in other continents. The dam’s sire Gotthard is, now more than fifteen years after his death, almost a legend in German sports horse breeding. Voltaire was the sire with the most offspring at the Olympic Games of Atlanta in 1996 and was second on the World Breeding Ranking of Showjumping Sires. He has over 50 approved sons and many of his offspring jump at Grand Prix level. He even was awarded Huntersire of the Year 2001, 2002 and 2003 in the USA and was one of the top sires in the KWPN Jumping Index with 151 points. Obelix's mother Cinderella is a Holstein premium mare that was imported from Germany. Her sire Carlos DZ was a brilliant Holstein stallion with highly successful offspring known for their great ridability, good mind and jumping ability, which he most certainly passed on to Cinderella. Cinderella's dam is amazing state premium mare Tornerose by Coleman, who herself was highly successful in the sport. Coleman, is the son of the international show jumper Carthago and grandson of Lord, who was one of the most famous stallions of the Holsteiner breed . Thanks to his exceptional heritage, his numerous descendants that have reached the champions’ league from jumping tests to international jumping competitions. There are very few sires of this quality. With an offspring profit of more than € 1.5 million, more than 120 successful sports horses, 30 licensed sons, Colman is an exceptional stallion. Obelix is an extremely friendly foal with a great confirmation that sets him up for greatness in the jumper ring. He is the sweetest foal ever, with no spook and a coolness about him, that he surely got from his dam. He is already halter trained and able to be registered with either the Holstein or Westfalen stud book. https://mischelsporthorses.com/obelix
