Color: gr
Height: 167 cm

04 29171 90 BRD

Champion du Lys is a grey performance stallion with charismatic presence. He has impressively demonstrated his abilities as an international show jumper with rider Ludger Beerbaum by winning 60 1.50 m classes, including the 2003 Hamburg Derby, plus competing in numerous Grand Prix and Nations Cups. Nevertheless, a successful stallion isn’t judged on its competition record alone, but also on the performance of its progeny, and Champion du Lys’ offspring are some of the very best. Despite only having been used sparingly for breeding purposes, Champion du Lys has produced top horses such as the approved stallion Caballero. He was the most expensive horse at the PSI Auction in 2006, won the World Championship for Show Jumping Horses in Lanaken and is already winning at 1.50 m level. There are now 19 Champion du Lys offspring competing successfully at 1.50 m level. They include Chablis du Lys/Markus Merschformann, Cockney/Philipp Weishaupt and Ludger Beerbaum, Crossing Jordan/Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst and the approved stallion Champion F.P. Champion du Lys’ progeny have collectively won over EUR 133,000 on the show jumping circuit. Champion du Lys has inherited excellent French sport genes from his grandsire Mexico (full brother to the famous stallion Furioso II) who has produced innumerable top class sports horses and flourishing stallion lines. Gerardo Tazzer won the Burg Stables Prix for 6/7/8-yr-olds at 1997 CSO Valkenswaard on Champion du Lys. Champion du Lys started his sport career in 1994 in Mexico by the name of Sinatra under young rider Joaquin Perez, who won two championships on him in the USA. As a 5-yr-old the Mexican International rider Gerardo Tazzer jumped the grey under his original name and won the Silver Cup and the Mexican Championship for young horses {plus a car}. The following year Champion du Lys jumped 33 category 1.30m and 1.40m classes, of which he won 21. In Monterrey he was third in the Derby. As a 7-yr-old he jumped twelve classes in Mexico (seven wins} before moving to Europe. Tazzer won another 1.40m competition in Geesteren before the stallion was sold to the coach of the German dressage team, Madeleine Winter-Schulze, to be made available to Ludger Beerbaum.
