Barrichello

A decidedly elegant black horse with a clear performance orientation. Bred in the Netherlands, overwhelmingly following the Holstein "jumping model." His Holstein sire Burggraf advanced to become a top sire in Holland. He combines the sires of the century Landgraf I and Cor de la Bryere in his blood and represents bloodline 7126, which also brought forth Acord I and II as well as many other stallions and top sports horses. The Oldenburg dam sire Purioso was one of the best sons of Furioso II. His dam sire Martell likewise was a Holstein stallion. The Dutch showjumping legend Nimmerdor in the third generation was 50% Holstein bred. Barichello derives from the same dam line as Cavalier (alias San Patrignano Mister/Franke Sloothaak). He absolved the 30 day test of 2001 in Vechta with the highest of scores in rideability and capacity for jumping.
