The blood of Heartbreaker has never been available to the US until now! Torino brings the Nimmerdor/Capitol I "nick" here for
the first time ever! Torino's dam and sire lines have all performed at the top and sired top, international performers.
Torino's temperament is perfect for a competitive mind: kind, calm, and willing. His jumping skill for a coming four year
old is absolutely unparalleled (please see clip or video). His bascule, scope, and technique rate a perfect 10. Torino's
gaits have the elasticity, reach, and power that make him a well rounded stallion with the class that makes him capable of
the highest successes in more than one venue. Torino's conformation is very correct and balanced with enough bone to add
substance to Thoroughbred mares.
If you are searching for a stallion capable of siring a top sporthorse, a breeding to Torino can get you in on the
ground floor with a stallion who will be enormously successful in the US.

Bloodlines
In Belgium, Heartbreaker (first photo) has been leading the jumping index for the last three years and he appears to be
becoming the leading jumping and breeding stallion of the 21st century. The oldest offspring of Heartbreaker, performed
when they were only 8 years old at the very top (1.50 m.) with phenomenal results, for example Quasimodo van de Molendreef,
Quartz Music, Quintin, Quasimodo, and Zip. The 7 year old offspring of Heartbreaker are already winning national (1.35 m.)
competitions, for example Radieux and Riant van de Mossevelde. At only 12 years old, Heartbreaker has already more than
10 approved sons, among them the superb jumping stallion, Orlando. Heartbreaker leads the jumping index with a staggering
score of 168 points.
Update! At the 2002 FEI World Breeding Championships, UltraTop van't Paradijs by Heartbreaker wins
the 5 year old division and is currently competing in the international grand prix ring in the toughest venues such as Aachen
(where he finished 4th).
Torino's dam, Toscane, is currently competing at 1 meter 40 in Europe.
Nimmerdor (second photo), the world famous "Prefernt" sire of show jumpers and dressage horses, won in the international jumper ring under
Albert Voorn. In 2000 Nimmerdor was honored as "the stallion of the century."
Heartbreaker's dam sire, Silvano, was a champion show jumper for Italy. Silvano's sire is Le Mexico
(Furioso xx) whose offspring included many international jumpers and the famous Ulft (sire of Olympic Ferro).
Cassini I (third photo), a Holsteiner Verband owned stallion, was shown under one of the world's best riders, Franke
Sloothaak, who rode him to numerous international placings in the most prestidous grand prix jumper arenas of the world.
Cassini I won the grand prix of Arnheim and had numerous wins in Nations Cup competitions where he was used for the
German team. Cassini I also had many wins and placings in World Cup competitions. Cassini I has sired 6 approved stallion
sons.
Capitol I (fourth photo) leads the WBFSH, which means that he has sired more sucessful show jumpers than any other stallion.
He has sired Dobel's Cento - 2002 World Cup champion, Carthago - 2000 Olympics, Carolus I, Carolus H, Celano, Corso, Come
Back, Campione, just to name a few. Capitol I has 10 approved sons.
