Nimmerdor
Ancestry
The already legendary Nimmerdor was sired by
the illustrious 'keur' Farn, whose influence on Dutch breeding
in general is deeply felt, which, together with his contribution
to the sport, is demonstrated by his fourth place in the stallion
jumping index.
Nimmerdor's dam is 'ster' Ramonaa. She is a daughter
of the thoroughbred Koridon xx and her dam is Friedhilde II who
was sired by the reputable Senator, while her lineage also includes
Ulfried.
Performance
During his performance test in 1975 Nimmerdor
left no doubt as to his particular speciality: jumping. 'Preferent'
Nimerdor was ridden at international level by Albert Voorn, with
whom he jumped various world cups and made impressive appearances
at several important international competitions in. Nimmerdor
was invited to go to Los Angeles Olympic Games, but the owners
declined, as they considered it more important at the time that
he fully devoted himself to his bredding activities.
Progeny
Nimmerdor's enourmous influence on breeding is
not only felt in the Netherlands, but also in various countries
abroard. He has sired more than thirty approved stallions all
over the world. When Nimmerdor was withdrawn from the sport, his
children were already continuing the great family tradition. His
progeny have excellent breeding results.
