| Cris Kringle's Pedigree |
| Calibur- Cris's Sire. Approved Holsteiner Verband Stallion at stud in Germany. 16.1h |
| Bloomkin- Cris's Dam. 15.3h Black Holsteiner mare, Competed successfully in dressage in Eastern Canada. |
| Caretino- 1983 16.2 Holsteiner Verband Stallion. Winner of his 100 day Stallion test. International Show jumper. He is known for passing on his natural jumping and dressage abilities. One of Germany's best Holsteiner stallions. |
| Caletto II- 1977 German Holsteiner Verband. The best son of Cor De La Bryere'. Winner of his stallion licensing, considered to be the "Perfect Holsteiner Type. Cris's current(mature) conformation most closely resembles this stallion. |
| LANDGRAF I: Holsteiner Stallion that is considered worldwide to be "The Stallion of the Century". Look at where the base of his neck connects to his shoulder and run a straight line to his point of hip- its almost level. That is one of the major contributors to his jumping ability, as well as allowing him to reach well underneath himself from behind- allowing great dressage ability as well. |
| Cor De La Bryere: Hol Stallion reknowned for his world class jumping ability, as well as the ability to pass it on to his foals. If anybody would fall directly beneath Landgraf I, this is likely the guy to be #2 in history. |
| Furioso II: Since everyone knows this stallion, as well as his sire, I'll just point out that I think this is where Cris gets his color recessive gene. Furioso II was known for his spot under his ribs, and this is a "color indicator" that we now see on breeders of Sabino and all white TBs. |
| Celia- Black Hol mare. Very nice Hol. conformation! Successful dressage mare. Cris's grandma on his dam's side. His dam was black also, or at least as close to black as you can get with Holsteiners. |
| Ladykiller: Sire of Landgraf I, and Lord. That's an impressive stallion! |
