Performance
Record: Silvio I absolved his stallion performance test in
Adeheidsdorf in 1990, recieving particularly high scores for his
jumping ability. He was awarded the I-b main premium by the
Oldenburg Association i 1991.
The homozygotically
dark Holstein stallion Sandro B, "Silvio I's" sire, managed to
establish himself in Oldenburg within a very short time. He is a
foundation sire of great forecefulness in terms of type and
appearance. Himself an active international showjumper under
Franke Sloothaak, he passed on his exceptional jumping ability oto his
prodeny. The dam Gelbkatze is a daughter of the chestnut stallion
Gepard, who has had a lasting influence on Paul Schockemohle's herd of
mares. Gepard was a son of the outstanding sire of showjumpers,
"Gotthard". The same mating combination of Gelbkatze-Sandro B
produced the full-brother Silvio II, who in 1993 absolved his stallion
performance test in Medingen with the highest jumping indes of the
year. The grandam Rhododendron who derives from the fabulously
handsome thoroughbred Ballboy xx, was mated with Palermo, to produce
the vice-champion of the year in 1987, P.S. Palm Springs, who was sold
at the PSI auction for an absolutely top price and later became an
advance class showjumper. Silvio I and II derive from the
venerable Oldenburg damline of Rodenande, which i.a. also produced the
approved stallions Going for Gold, Grannus-Grande and Weltstar.
