Happy Birthday, Kostolany!
|
|||
|
|
|||
| On December 10th in 1984, a black colt was born at the famous German stud farm Haemelschenburg. A colt that should later become one of the breed's most successful sires, both of breeding stock and most importantly, sport horses. | |||
Jasper and Kostolany - on his 24th Birthday |
||||
| Kostolany never left the farm in his entire life, he became the NMS champion stallion in 1987, passed an outstanding 100 day test, won FEI dressage shows, and during all this time of fame and celebrity, always was the center of the Langels family. | ||||
|
|
|
|
| Kostolany's roots go all the way back to Trakehnen and the grey mare Kassette. She was one of the highest quality
members of the "mixed" herd in Trakehnen, where most of the Arabian stallions were utilized. Her sire Fetysz ox was such an
example. Her family has spread over several continents and the branches of her daughters belong to the most popular and successful
in the entire breed. Kostolany is probably the most important link. His sire line via Enrico Caruso-Mahagoni goes back
to the famous TB stallion Pasteur xx, a stallion who had tremendous success in German warmblood breeding. Kostolany puts
his line in the spotlight.

|
||
| Over 140 daughters of Kostolany are registered as broodmares in Germany, among them many inspection champions and National champions. Aight of his sons have been approved for the Trakehner breed, among them the dressage "specialists" Showmaster, a Grand Prix winner, EH Gribaldi, another Grand Prix winner and himself sire of approved sons and outstanding young dressage horses, and Silvermoon, FEI dressage winner and sire of one of the breed's hottest new young stallions: Cadeau. | ||||

| On the other hand, we find the chestnut Tolstoi, sire of the two full brothers and two champion stallions Farinelli and Freudenfest. Sans Souci is a popular stallion in East Germany and Bertone, who never bred, but became a very good eventer, is also sired by Kostolany. | |||

big party, celebrating his 30th in 2014!!
