KWPN Foundation Sires and Their Get

Olympic Cocktail

Cocktail's sire Purioso is the sporthorse producer of the 90's as much for dressage as jumping, with three "Olympic" children, namely Olympic Wendela, Olympic Ambush and Olympic Cocktail. Purioso is a son of the leading German stallion Furioso II. Furioso II, who at least has 70 approved sons, influenced breeding world wide. The full brother of Purioso II is the French stallion Mexico, whose son Le Mexico is a familiar name as a producer of sporthorses in the Netherlands. Cocktail's dame is the "keur preferent" mare Ulissa. She is also the mother of the KWPN approved stallion Falco. Further back in the pedigree we find the excellent moving Trakhener stallion Hessel. In the fourth generation we find the Holsteiner stallion Antonio (v. Anblick xx). Anblick also sired the dominant breeding stallion Aldato and the Olympic Dressage horses of Josef Neckermann Venetia and Antoinette. 
 

Olympic Cocktail was awarded Horse of the Year in 1995. With his rider Anky van Grunsven he won an incredible number of Grand Prix, Specials and Kürs to Music.Cocktail is father of the approved stallions: Havel, Hierarch, Jazz, Jordan, Hucarlos and Hawthorne. Furthermore Cocktail is the leading sire on the Dutch Dressage Index. His offspring start to show at Prix St.Georges level. His son Havel for instance won the Prix St.Georges at Leeuwarden. Cocktail was made a "Keur" stallion in 1998.
