.GFS Starstruck's Breeding:
Sired by the wonderful GFS Fire and Ice whose breeding and extensive, impressive and talented family tree can be explored on our website. His eventing providence is tremendous on his dams side with the great Rock King and Bohemond the sire and maternal Gandsire of his dam and on that of his sire, the extraordinary talent, temperament and versatility of the Danish Knabstrupper, coupled with the inimitable strength, stamina, bravery and performance of the Kinsky warmblood. This makes the amalgamation of Starstruck's bloodlines when coupled with her exceptional show jumping history of her KWPN dam's pedigree. Her dam Deihaiwejo is by Al Pacino W - An outstanding International Grand Pix show jumper and son of the amazing “phenomenon” Andiamo by Animo- Almé).
Deihaiwejo's dam lines are equally impressive with her dam sire, Aiglon Rouge a son of two of the most incredible jumpers and producers of simply incredible offspring. Narcos II and the legendary mare, Dirka - dam of Quidam de Revel, Paprika de Revel, Vallon Rouge to name just a few!
Al Pacino W was bred from the beautiful blood mare SATAJAVERTE (by Julio Marinier xx) This family tree brought forth many approved stallions and international jumping horses. He showed his superb qualities during his performance tests: jumping under saddle as well as free jumping and fulfilled all requirements for the KWPN Approval. His sire Andiamo Z jumped internationally at 1.50 level despite starting his career later in life due to injury. Bred by Morten Aasen out of Taj Mahal {NRPS} Studbook Zangersheide brought in a dash of Anglo-Arabian blood via Andiamo Z. The sire of Taj Mahal x is no-one less than the Anglo-Arabian Garitchou x (by Nikou} who has provided various mares´lines with a large number of sport horses, including BWP-bred stallion Jus de Pomme, double Olympic gold for Germany and Ulrich Kirchhoff, Shogoun, Grand Prix winner under Philippe Le Jeune and Eric Navet, Quintus and Richebourg, both licensed stallions. The dam of Taj Mahal is Joyeuse by Nithard x. Other Nithard daughters have produced, for example, the stallion Olisoco, Grand Prix winner under the American Michael Matz, Privilege (Helmut Morbitzer}, Ronco (Bert Romp}, Quick Star (Meredith Michaels}, Inschallah x, Joad and Vetiver du Gamet (Philippe Leoni}. Grandsire Animo competed consistently among the best in World Cup and grand Prix competitions in the 90's. He jumped in the Olympic Final in 1992, and was placed in 48 World Cups and Grand Prix.
As a breeding stallion, Animo boasts sons approved in numerous studbooks globally.
Alme (GGG Sire)
Almé was by the Selle Francais, Ibrahim, a stallion whose influence is still incredibly strong today. His dam, Girondine produced three full brothers to Almé, which were all licensed stallions or successful jumpers.
As a young stallion was ridden by Bernard Geneste as a five-year-old, before he was purchased and competed by American Fred Lorimer Graham for two years. He was then taken as a mount by François Mathy and Johan Heins, with whom he competed internationally. He won many Grand Prix events, including the Grand Prix of the Netherlands.
Almé had a successful career at stud, which is often compared to that of the champion Thoroughbred stallion, Northern Dancer. He first stood at stud as a five year old, serving France from 1971-1974, before standing at Zangersheide from 1975-1985. He was then returned to France, where he stood at the Brullemail stud farm until his retirement in 1990, covering 420 mares from across Europe. His stud fee during this time, after having proven himself so well, ranged from F14,000 to F20,000.
During his first 4 years in France, Almé sired the international show jumpers Galoubet, I Love You (2 time World Cup winner), and Jalisco, as well as the stallions Quick Star and Quatoubet (sire of the three-time World Cup winner Baloubet du Rouet). While standing at Zangersheide, his offspring were registered in the Hanoverian stud book, where his blood had great influence, and he also made his way into the Holstein stud books through his sons Ahorn Z, Aloubé Z, Athlet Z, and Alexis Z. His grandson, Quidam de Revel, has also been used in Holstein breeding.
Alme is the only horse to have sired 2 World Champions and 3 Olympic horses. His son, Aerobic, became the top priced horse at the PSI Auktion in Ankum (650,000 DM).
Julio Mariner can also be found in the fourth line of her pedigree, he is believed to be on of the top thoroughbreds ever produced for breeding top sporthorses. Adding refinement, speed and intelligence. Julio Mariner xx was approved in seven studbooks, including KWPN, Holstein, Hannover and Oldenburg. He was praised by breeders for his eagerness and excellent jumping techniques and is one of the best thoroughbred sires in Dutch breeding. Indeed, technique, reflexes and alertness characterize both the jumping manners of Julio Mariner xx and those of his offspring.
Starstruck's G.Dam was by Aiglon Rouge and out of the mare that has probably had more influence than almost any other through her legendary son Quidam de Revel! Dirka, despite being only 163 cms, won at international level with Nelson Pessoa, once returned to her breeder on retirement she was bred to Sans Souci, to produce two international competitors, Orka and Paprika de Revel, then with Jalisco B she produced Quidam de Revel and the broodmares, Razzia and Sarah de Revel. With Jalisco’s half brother, Kisosovo, she produced CSO winner, Vallon Rouge, and with Narcos, Aiglon Rouge, a star in Holland. With Quat’sous, she produced Byra Rouge, and with Pappillon Rouge, Dirka de Revel. What a mare!
