Pedigree: Cornet Obolensky × Nabab de Rêve × Lys de Darmen
Catching Freedom 78 Z represents one of the most proven genetic combinations in modern showjumping breeding. His pedigree brings together three stallions that have played a major role both in top-level sport and in the pedigrees of many of the world’s best jumping horses. Combined with a dam who is a full sister to the outstanding Valentina van’t Heike, this pedigree offers every reason for optimism regarding his future potential.

SIRE
The sire of this colt is Cornet Obolensky, one of the most influential stallions in the history of modern showjumping breeding. Under Marco Kutscher, he represented Germany at the highest level of international competition, including winning team gold at the European Championships and competing successfully in some of the world’s most prestigious Grand Prix events.
As a breeding stallion, Cornet Obolensky’s influence has been even greater. For many years, his offspring have ranked among the world’s elite, and horses such as Clooney, Cornet d’Amour, Balou du Reventon, and Comme Il Faut have established him as one of the most important sires of Grand Prix horses of the 21st century.

DAM
The dam of Catching Freedom 78 Z is a daughter of the legendary Nabab de Rêve, one of the cornerstones of Belgian sport horse breeding. Under Philippe Le Jeune, Nabab de Rêve competed at Grand Prix 1.60 m level and at World Championships before becoming one of the most influential sires in modern breeding.
Following his sporting career, he produced countless top-level performers and breeding stallions whose influence continues to shape contemporary showjumping bloodlines around the world.

DAMLINE
The greatest strength of this maternal family lies in the fact that the colt’s dam is a full sister to Valentina van’t Heike, the outstanding mare who competed successfully at the 1.60 m level under Jos Lansink.
In addition to her own international sport career, Valentina van’t Heike established herself as an exceptional broodmare, producing numerous successful international sport horses and further confirming the remarkable quality of her maternal family.
The fact that Catching Freedom 78 Z’s dam is a full sister to Valentina van’t Heike provides exceptionally strong evidence of the family’s quality and significantly enhances the colt’s breeding and sporting value.
With the proven combination of Cornet Obolensky, Nabab de Rêve, and Lys de Darmen, together with one of Belgium’s most respected maternal families, Catching Freedom 78 Z offers a pedigree built on generations of elite sport performance and breeding excellence.
