BLOODLINES

 

LARINO, a Grand Prix showjumper in his own right, is a son of the sports horse producer of the 21st century, Olympic CONCORDE. Concorde already has a great number of children that perform at international level. Larino has in his pedigree four famous and successful showjumper producers. Larino's dam Erina is a daughter of the famous Ramiro offspring, Armstrong. In the report the KWPN judge made, she is described as a very nice mare with a lot of expression. The stallion Larino is out of a lineage that produced many sports horses in the mother line. 

​

Bred by Arend Florijn of Geesteren, the Concorde son was out of the preferent broodmare Erina (Armstrong out of Warina ster pref prest by Ridder), whose grandson is the KWPN stallion Zürich. Originally named Lancelot, Larino was approved for KWPN breeding as a four-year-old. At Ermelo during the 70-day Performance Test, Larino was described by the jury as a stallion who jumps with a very good foreleg technique and a very good use of the back. Larino shows a lot of scope and has a superb canter.

 

Under Peter Geerink, the gray stallion became a successful Grand Prix jumper. In the fall of 2001, Larino made his Grand Prix debut and placed second in The Hague, finished second and third in Valkenswaard, and posted a fantastic clear round in the team competition at Rotterdam, in addition to tying for sixth place in the Grand Prix. Furthermore, Larino ended sixth in the Dutch Championships in Mierlo, the youngest horse to show at that venue. The stallion's other achievements include finishing fourth in the Grand Prix of Hickstead, fifth in the Grand Prix of Bremen and first in the team competition. Larino also won the VHO Trophy competition in 2003.
