Analysis of the bloodlines (sires and dams) of the Olympic horses

[Melyni]

Does anyone know of, or have access to an analysis of the bloodlines both sire and dam, of the Olympic horses?

The escalating standards make me wonder just who is it producing these superior horses.

Lots of KWPN and Danish horses, but which Sires and which bloodlines.

Don’t forget the Irish

Cruising and his sire Sea Crest are behind Mr Meddicott, Flexible Lenamore and Master Crusoe. There were several other Irish bred horses in eventing and show jumping.

Down Yonder did a spreadsheet for the nominated dressage horses which is here:

I did a series of posts with the nominated jumping and eventing horses with sires and dams. Didn’t go any farther back.

I have it in one document which I will post here:

Thank you

I have downloaded and saved the PDF. I hope that that is acceptable.

Here’s an article on Vallegro’s breeders, who were in London to see him win gold.

Here’s an FB album I made that includes both Vallegro and Wizard as foals.

I need to revise my spreadsheet to highlight the actual Olympic competitors - just haven’t had time. :lol:

Thank your for your hard work. We have duly downloaded and printed this for reference.

Wow. This is a tremendous amount of work, and very much appreciated. Trainer and I have just started shopping for my next horse and I’ve been doing a lot of pondering about what it will take to be competitive in another 4 years (I’m likely shopping in the 4-6 year old bracket).

Lots of Nabab de Reve in the show jumpers

Rafalca has a similar pedigree to one I’ve bred. FHF Lagonda (Solos Landtins/Blue Hors Romancier). You can see him on my website.
