"Calypso II"
(Cor de la Bryere/Heibsporn)



Calypso II is one of the most important sires of Germany today. Initially stationed in Holstein until 1986, he was thereafter at stud as a leased stallion at the Celle state stud between 1987 and 1989, and from 1990 until his demise at the end of 1995, covered at the Amselhof in Walle.   He ushered in a new breeding epoch in Hanover as the first Holsteiner at the Celle state stud.  After first having made his mark in the annals of Holstein breeding by means of top showjumpers and significant stallion sons, he knuckled down and for all intents and purposes, succeeded in doing the same in Hanover. Apart from state premium mares and highly remunerated auction horses, he has managed to present a number of first class stallion sons.  In Hanover as well as in Holstein, Calypso II presented the exceptional sires "Contender", "Coriolan", "Champ of Class", "Colani", "Carbid", "Crazy Classic", "Chasseur I and II", as well as international performance horses.  His progeny dispose over outstanding jumping ability and are popular because of their excellent rideability.
