Nutcracker

Nutcracker was bred out of the 1.35m jumping mare Jezzalinde and therefore represents a good damline. Granddam Alinde VM scored high marks in the mare test (83 points) as a youngster and subsequently competed at 1.35m level. She is a half-sister of Kirsten Rikkert’s international 1.45m level showjumper Chaperon (s.Quaprice Z) and several 1.30/1.35m level horses. The line continues with Twalinde, who is a half-sister of the international 1.55m showjumper Venus (s.Ohorn) ridden by Pia-Luise Aufrecht. She can also be found in the damline of the 1.45m showjumper Elektro (s.Douglas). Nutcracker comes from the second crop of the talented stallion Il Est Balou, who -after a very promising start under Albert Zoer- is now continuing his career in the United States.
