KWPN Stallion
Krack C to Anky van Grunsven
The
highly discussed young sport athlete Krack C has
been consigned to Anky van Grunsven for his further
competition career. Krack C is the notorious 8 year
old bay stallion by Flemmingh out of Gicara II (x Beaujolais)
who continuously made headlines thanks to his quality
and high breeding percentage. Under the American Nick
Wagman, Krack C became the double consecutive Pavo Cup
winner in 1996 and 1997. Known for his flamboyant moving
mechanism and his rideability, Krack C impressed many
KWPN breeders and became their main choice, placing
him in the top ten of most used breeding stallions.
Even in the Oldenburger district Krack C flabbergasted
and the bay stallion got approved for this German verband.
Anky van Grunsven is very happy with this new deal
which offers Krack C to her training programme for several
years. Owner and breeder, Stoeterij 't Centrum in Gorinchen,
The Netherlands, closed the deal last weekend in April
2000. "I didn't know the stallion and had never seen
him run, but his innate rideability is simply impressive,'
Sjef Janssen said.
Krack
C made a glorious debut under the American Nick Wagman
and competed an interesting duel with KWPN stallion
Kennedy in the Pavo Cup. According to Dutch equestrian
journalist Claartje van Andel Krack C was often the
centre of the debate concerning the topic where natural
capability ended and "tricked" riding began. With Krack
C going to Anky, Nick Wagman made the choice to return
to the United States with his boyfriend Gerard Hoogervorst
where they both will begin a new life together.
