The sire
Sire Connery was approved in 2000, qualified for the Bundeschampionat twice and has been doing well as a dressage horse on his way to the FEI levels. His first crop appeared in Neumünster in 2004 and his first son, Aquarius, was approved. In 2005, his sons Elfenfeuer and Imperio were approved, the latter as the shining reserve champion in Neumünster. Connery's dam Caro-Dame II is one of the few daughters of the very good Karo As in the breed, the only approved son of the excellent sport horse sire Vollkorn xx in Oldenburg. Caro-Dame II is a daughter of the late elite mare Cornau, who not only left the breed several highly ranked daughters, but most importantly, the elite stallion and major sire Consul. Other daughters of her include the Grand Prix winner Corna, dam of the premium stallion Checkpoint, or Cornu, dam of the approved Cornus. A close relative to Connery is the 2006 auction mare 106 PS+SPS Corne.
The dam
Colette III is dam of three FN-registered competition horses in Germany, among them the 1997 Neumünster stallion candidate Cheops (by Guter Planet), who is an accomplished S-level winner. The second dam Coeur-Dame is a full sister to the premium mare Capri, dam of the major sire EH Caprimond. This direct family also produced the approved Chantilly (CH).
