History of mare stamm line 18B1 - A legendary Stamm Line

About stamm 18B1, Holstein: The   mare   Lisch   (v. Alex)   bred   by   Theis   Thomahlen   and   foaled   in   1861,   produced four daughters who in turn formed the basis of a Holsteiner mare line stamm 18. Lisch   was   the   root   of   Stamm18.      Her   daughter   Delphine   is   the   basis   of   strain 18A1,   Brame   of   18A2,   Ella   of   18B1,   and   the   mare   Bellona   was   the   matriarch   of 18B2. Although   many   lines   of   Holsteiners   did   not   survive   the   industrial   revolution,   the Thormahlen’s      loyalty   and   diligence   with   their   horses   continued   the   18A1,   18A2, and 18B1 bloodlines.  Only 18B2 completely died out. The   18B1   line   continued   and   became   a   major   influence   in   breeding   Holsteiner jumpers and elite sport- horse jumpers world wide .

From the Maalwater Elite Auction we have an in depth description of the 18B1 line: “18B1   Stamm   is   the   sports-line   par   excellence!   The   current   standard-bearers   in jumping   include   Audi's   Alpapillon   Armani   (v.   Aldato)   with   Vincent   Voorn,   Queen Lisa   (v.   Quidam   de   Revel)   under   Felix   Hassmann,   Romulus   105   (v.   Ramirado) under   Otto   Becker,   Cagliostro   (v.   Calando   I   )   under   the   Finnish   rider   Noora   Pentti, Catwalk   7   under   Christian   Ahlmann   and   Campesino   (v.   Cor   de   la   Bryere)   under Thomas   Voss,   Cardoso   vd   Helle   (v.   Calando   I)   with   Christof   Cleeren,   and   the Olympic   Games   participant   Common   Sense   (v.   Candillo),   who   was   partnered   by Russia's Mikhael Safronow.   This   strain   has   also   produced   many   approved   stallions,   some   of   which   stamped their mark on breeding in the Netherlands.   The   best   known   are:   Farn   (sire   of   Nimmerdor   and   Wolfgang),   Lagos   and   Ronald. The   Cor   de   la   Bryere   son   Constant   has   produced   many   good   horses,   including Chin-Chin,   who   was   4th   at   the   Olympics   in   Barcelona.   Other   approved   stallions from    this    line    are:    Rembrandt,    Laudon,    Leonino,    Country    Down,    Rheinberg, Quantum,   Legendär   I   and   II,   Sandos,   Marquis,   Calmaro,   Nestor   and   the   half- brother of Farn, Roman.   The   mare   Dorette   (born   1945,   v.   Monarch),   through   her   sons   Farn   and   Roman, and   her   daughters   Adrette   and   Ella,   is   major   impact   on   breeding   in   Holstein   and beyond.   Farn   spent   one   season   in   Holstein   before   moving   to   Holland   where   he produced    many    top    horses    for    sport    and    breeding.    His    son    Nimmerdor    has become one of the most important breeding stallions in Europe.   Roman   had   few   direct   sons   approved,   but   we   find   him   in   the   pedigree   of   many International   sport   horses   and   approved   stallions   as   the   damsire   to   Little   Rock, Cantus,   Lansing,   Carolus   I   and   II,   Carry,   Larome   Lux   Z,   Carry,   Lagano,   Privet,   L 'Amour (Nocturne), Cordeur, Corr Adus, Montevideo, Rouletto and Tin Rocco.   Adrette   (born   1964,   v.   Heilbutt)   is   the   mother   of   the   stallion   Ronald.   He   produced the   stallions   Rocadero,   Ricardo   and   Randers.   Much   more   important   is   his   role   as father   of   stallion   mothers.   Female   offspring   by   him   went   on   to   produce   Captain Incipit,   Coretto,   Landetto,   Larno   I   and   II,   Latouro,   Le   Grand   II   I   and   II,   Libero   H, Londron, Lord Incipit I and II.   Ella   (born   1968,   v.   Colt)   is   the   mother   of   Constant.   Because   of   his   chestnut   color Constant   was   relatively   underused   and   he   died   at   a   young   age.   Constant   jumped Internationally   with   Dr.   Rüping   and   Hans-Günther   Winkler.   His   most   famous   son is Chin   Chin,   individually   4th   at   the   Olympic   Games   in   Barcelona.   As   a   father   of stallion   mothers   we   find   him   in   the   pedigree   of   Campinos,   Chacon,   Confusion   M, Libertino   I   and   II,   Ramirado   and   International   jumping   gelding   Cöster   (v.   Calato) under Christian Ahlmann”
