A special focus had been on Comme il faut offspring at the 2019 pre-selection thanks to the stallion’s terrific performance with Marcus Ehning at the 2019 Rotterdam Europeans.
Charaktervoll had been one of the most conspicuous colts of the 2019 pre-selection in Holstein, his performances always characterized by his Holsteiner habitus – alert, with the typical powerful movement through the knee. The young stallion is able to present himself to best advantage in all three gaits thanks to his well-constructed rectangular frame with a strong top-line and correct legs. His strong hind leg and back not only enable him to move with the desired up-hill tendency but also provide him with exceptional jumping potential. His excellent canter is a requirement for an optimum jumping process. His strength allows for the desired push at take-off in combination with a very good technique and great carefulness, and particularly impressive hind leg technique.
This young stallion’s main asset is doubtless the quality of his jumping, and he stands out in particular for his strength and quick take-off. Breeding him to-big framed mares with movement and jumping in need of improvement as to elasticity and energy is of particular interest.

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.

Charaktervoll was given a jumping weighted total mark of 8.48 in the Neustadt upon Dosse stallion performance test. Due to an increased caffeine value demonstrably resulting from feed contaminated with apple pomace at the manufacturer’s, Charactervoll’s 14-day ability assessment was declared void. The stallion is to undergo performance re-testing at the soonest possible date.
