His Sire:

From the English translation of the book - Selected Sires Of Germany:

Corrado I (Holsteiner) was a shooting star as a showjumper and as a sire as well. Referred to as an "Idol In Holstein", Corrado I achieved the best jumping index of his test lot (more than 137 points) at his stallion performance test. He achieved 10 points twice (loose jumping and aptitude for jumping in training). But he also achieved outstanding results for canter and rideability (rideability 8.0 twice). In showjumper classes Corrado progeny are almost unbeatable. Already in his first crops, he (Corrado I ) has 14 approved stallions.  As a competition horse, Corrado I is always in the ribbons. In 1991, (as a 6 year old, Corrado I competed in the Federal Championship for Showjumpers in Germany. Corrado has won many Grand Prix and Nations Cup and World Cup competitions, e.g.; Aachen and Frankfurt, as well as being the German Champion in 1994.  Corrado I has won over 500,000 DM in his career and is consistently mentioned as one of Cor de la  Bryere's most important sons in addition to having the highest competition earnings of any Cor de la Bryere offspring.  At the 1993 Elite Holsteiner sale at Neumunster, three 3 year olds by Corrado I sold for an average of $60,000 each. In Germany in 1997, Corrado I progeny at 2-4 years of age were selling for over 100,000 each.  In August of 2001, German trainers express difficulty in obtaining these sought after bloodlines and spoke of talk that the breeding fees for Corrado I may be raised to 10,000 DM - approximately $5,000 U.S. dollars.

Corrado I 's sire is Cor de la Bryere (Selle Francais) imported to Holstein - a true living legend in Europe.  He is on the eternal top10 sires list and is a true Sire Of All Disciplines - Top International Dressage, Eventing and Showjumping winners (with an incredible jumping bascule).Cor de la Bryere is featured  in the Ausgewahlte Hengste Deutschlands -Gold Cover-2000 edition (Germany's Yearbook Of Stallions containing all breeds) in a spread of 20 pages.  In this same year book on page 633, the stallion performance test results from 1998 at each of 13 sites in Germany list the "TOP  10" stallions at each site.  At 11 out of these 13 sites, Cor de la Bryere blood is represented at least once and up to 4 times at one site marking the extraordinary influence Cor de la Bryere blood has in German Warmblood Breeding.  See Cor de la Bryere's Famous Bascule.

Corrado I 's dam sire is Capitol I, (Holsteiner)another World Class Stallion, who is the sire or dam sire of many Top International Showjumpers. According to the breeding value rating by the FN, Capitol is one of the leading sires of Showjumpers in Germany today and is one of the few lines that carry the blood of Cottage Son xx.

His Dam:

K-Morelle (Westfalen) is well known in Germany for her long and accomplished successful career in all three disciplines; Combined Training and Grand Prix Jumping.

K-Morelle's sire, Moltke (Holsteiner) is the dam sire of Corrado USA. Moltke is considered to be "The Great Sire Of Rideability" in Germany and Moltke left quite a number of Top International Show Jumpers in Germany after only 2 seasons in Holstein. Moltke also sired the dams of many famous stallions such as Lagos, the sire of Land of Kings. Rideability of the choicest quality, vitality and physical strength is what the name Moltke is synonymous for.

K-Morelle's dam sire, Perser xx is renown throughout Germany and his blood is found in the Hanoverian, Holstein, Oldenburg and Westfalen breeds. Perser xx is a full brother to Pik As xx, grand sire of Grand Prix Dressage stallion, Pik Bube. Perser xx is also the dam sire of the great Hanoverian dressage stallion, Walldorf. Perser xx is found in the lines of many successful, top international competition horses.

Through his dam's genes, Corrado USA also offers the dressage sire, Doktor. Doktor was a well known Hanovarian sire, producing quite a number of exquisite dressage horses in Germany.

Corrado USA descends from Generations Of Excellence.
