This time, Darco (one of the best sport sires of all time) is recognised in the direct bloodline as Homerus’ sire.

Homerus’ dam-line comes from the very successful Holsteiner line no. 162 (Carthago and Canturo) out of Cash/Lord, and his dam produced the winner of the Belgian Trophy for Young Horses in 2009 as well as a horse who placed in the final of the free-jumping competition at Mechelen in 2008. Homerus’ half brother, Couscous van Orti sired by Nabab de Reve competed in the CSI5* classes under Samuel Parot and continues to excel today.

PERFORMANCE
Homerus grabbed attention from a young age by winning the free-jumping competiton for three-year-olds at President’s Cup in 2010. Since then, he has developed up through the grades, currently having competed in many 1.50m Grand Prixes with Leona van der Merwe.

PROGENY
