Pedigree
Detailed Pedigree Information
Bellissa SR is our 2009 Kasimir filly out of Pr.St. Bell Capri *M*, who proves to be an outstanding producer yet again. Bellissa is the only North American foal by the German S level dressage stallion Kasimir, and we are very happy with this elegant and very noble filly. She has impeccable movement with a wonderful uphill trend in her entire build, and displays a wonderful temperament when we work with her.
Her Sire- Kasimir TSF was was bred at Gestüt Tasdorf and approved in Neumünster in 2004. He had a very successful dressage career as a young horse under the training of the Camp family in Geldern. He qualifed for the Bundeschampionat three times and enjoyed a number of outstanding young dressage horse class wins from the 2008 season at M level with young rider Lydia Camp. In 2009, he was stationed at his "home" stud Tasdorf, where Hannes Lütt developed him further in dressage. The ride was then given to Young Rider Anna lena Kracht, who won many S level classes with the stallion. At the end of 2011, Kasimir TSF was sold to France, where he immediately won more FEI classes under his new rider.
His sire Ivernel was successful at FEI levels in dressage while his dam St.Pr.,Pr.+E.St. Karissima was one of the best mares of the recent Trakehner breed and sadly died very young. Among her offspring are the champion mares Kosima XIX, whose daughter Kimberly IV was a premium in 2008, and Kreta II, the National Reserve Champion mare in Neumünster in 2006. Karissima is a full sister to the FEI dressage stallion Konradi TSF, the Canadian owned Inter I-successful Key West (ex Kaspare, now deceased) and the FEI Young Horse Champion Klouseau (also Canada).
Her Dam - Pr.St. Bell Capri *M* arrived at Seneca Ridge in early 2008 after we had the opportunity to purchase her in Germany. This exceptional mare is one of the very few direct E.H. Caprimond daughters in the United States and comes from a highly proven dam line. She displays Trakehner type to perfection and is a truly exceptional mover, with an especially powerful trot. We presented Bell Capri for AHS Inspection on October 7th 2008 and she was entered into the AHS Main Mare Book. She also passed her MPT after only 4 weeks of training, with foal at side and back in foal. Bell Capri was bred by Michael Schiele, breeder of the stallions E.H. Hofrat and Hoftänzer, among others.
The dam:
Dam Bellatrix also produced a full sister to Bell Capri, also a Trakehner Verband premium mare Belladonna (Gestüt Hohenschmark in Germany). Bellatrix was a daughter of the outstanding sport horse sire E.H. Rockefeller. Four of his sons were approved in Europe, and all four had significant impact, not only on the Trakehner breed: Benz was awarded the title "Elite Stallion" based on his own success at FEI levels in dressage and the exceptional quality of his daughters; Artistic-Rock is a FEI dressage competitor for the Netherlands and sire of several auction highlights; Fontainbleau was the 1993 Champion in Neumünster and an internationally successful Three Day Eventer (who also managed to produced *** horses in that discipline) and Chardonnay, also a Verband "Elite Stallion" with a career at FEI levels in dressage. Rockefeller was without a doubt the best of all EH Consul sons in the breed.
E.H. Consul was one of the 4 most important modern sport horse sires for the Trakehner breed in the past 25 years - and interestingly, like the other three major sires Arogno, Habicht and Mahagoni, an Anglo Trakehner with one parent a full TB! Consul was also extremely influential in the Hanoverian breed. His daughters produced such horses as Verden Auction Highlight Diamond Dream (600,000DM), Champion stallion Don Frederico, and premium stallion Don Vino. Consul is also dam sire of the multiple Olympic Team Gold medalist Bonaparte(H. Kemmer.)
Condus, in the third generation, was a highly pre-potent sport horse sire and one of only two direct sons of the legendary Anglo Arabian Ramzes AA in the Trakehner breed. Ramzes AA founded the exceptional lines of Ramiro in Holstein and Romandour II in Westfalia and Rubinstein I in Oldenburg Wherever his name is still within reach in a modern pedigree, high quality breeding stock is usually right around the corner. Condus' early breeding career took place in Germany, where he sired a handful of outstanding brood mares and the approved sons Tarim and Tempelritter. He was later exported to North America where his most important son Leonidas *Pg* is himself an international Grand Prix dressage winner and sire of FEI dressage horses.
The mare family of O18B1 Blitzlicht hails from a private East Prussian breeder and has produced a number of great sport horse sires for all disciplines,including the amazing late E.H. Banditentraum, like Consul, a huge success in several German warmblood breeds, especially Hanover. Also from this family: Bärenfang, Beatos, Blinker, Blues, Hexenmeister, Baron, Boris, Beaujolais II and the younger and highly successul stallions Baron Verdi (ATA) and Ballzauber (ATA).
The sire:
Sire E.H. Caprimond was once called the "Pythagoras of modern times" by German breed director Lars Gehrmann, probably a fitting name for a stallion who shaped the breed to a great extent. With over 200 registered daughters in the Trakehner breed, over 20 approved sons in various stud books, and a large number of sport horses to his credit, Caprimond is a true living legend. Among his many sons are E.H. Hohenstein, E.H. Latimer TSF, Canaster I+II, Caprigold, Contucci, Catani K, Chronist, Soulman, Sponek, Tanzmeister I + II. Caprimond is also dam sire of the stallions Couracious, Cadeau, Donautanz, Sarasani, Sauvignon (FEI dressage), Schönbrunn (FEI dressage), Zauberfürst (2007 Reserve Bundeschampion), Dacaprio, De Laurentis, Donauzar, the 2008 approved Everio, Immens, Lichtenfels, and Störtebeker, and Maxwell. Caprimond was Reserve Champion of his approval, the Bundeschampionat, and won his 100 day test in Adelheitsdorf. He was a successful Grand Prix dressage horse and still competed at the age of 20 with Theresa Wahler, when she was only a year younger! Even in his mid-20s now, Caprimond is ridden every day and is the highlight of uncounted stallion shows. His work ethic, rideability, soundness and the type he passes on so dominantly make him one of the most prominent stamping sires of all breeds. Sire Karon also produced the approved Schampus (FEI dressage), Beaujolais II (FEI dressage) and Gadsby. Dam sire E.H. Mackensen was a maternal half brother to Mahagoni and a celebrated producer of sport horses at FEI levels in all three major disciplines. His son E.H. Charly Chaplin is one of the Trakehner breed's most successful dressage horse sires, with over 25% of his get reaching S level in competition! Caprimond's dam line of O133A1 Cornelia (Gut Schwaighof) also stands for the stallions Cordial, Chabrol, Chateauneuf (S level dressage and show jumping), Chardonne, Cortez and the Westfalian premium stallion Fuerto.
