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
Cornandina is a TB daughter of the great foundation mare Cornau, the dam of EH Consul, and therefore, this pedigree shows significant linebreeding to this amazing mare. Sire Nandino xx was a successful race horse and stood at stud in Hörem in the 1990s, where he left a number of good sport horses and especially valuable daughters for the breed. His offspring are competing at M-levels in dressage, show jumping and eventing. His TB pedigree traces back to Fair Trial xx in the sire line.
