Comme il faut’s breeding is a combination of international top successful bloodlines. In addition to his Olympic level own performance, his sire Cornet Obolensky has been one of the best jumping sires in the world for years now with exceptional horses like Clooney, Cornet d’amour, Cornado I and Cornado NRW attesting to his quality as a sire. His dam Ratina made Olympic history as well. Her achievements with Piet Reymakers and Ludger Beerbaum include winning individual and team gold at the 1997 Mannheim Europeans, individual silver and
team gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and team gold at the 1994 Den Haag WEG.
Already at the Warendorf National Championship Comme il faut had stood out for his quality and carefulness. Later he went on to compete at international top level with Marcus Ehning, with his performance at the 2019 Rotterdam Europeans the crowning glory of his career.

Charaktervoll’s damline is influenced by successful international stallions, proven and reliable dams and an internationally successful Holsteiner mare family. The stallions in the tail female line, Contendro I, Capitol and Caletto II, are high-profile international sport horse sires, all of them, with highly successful offspring up to Olympic level. Dam, second dam, and third dam have all produced show jumping offspring with S level achievements.

Mare family 474 has produced top level sport horses and breeding stock time and again. The doubtless most well-known current representative of this family is Q-Verdi, ridden by Maikel van der Vleuten.
