The stallion selection committee has decided to recognize the Corland son Apardi for KWPN breeding.
Apardi has competed in Grand Prix show jumping for several years now under Colombia's Daniel Bluman. The combination's successful shows include the four- and five-star competitions in La Baule, Calgary and Wellington.
Apardi is a ten-year-old bay by the keur stallion Corland out of the elite prestatie mare Supardi, a daughter of the top sire Kannan. Apardi's granddam is the keur preferent prestatie mare Gupardie, a daughter of the jumper sire and keur stallion Jasper. The dam-line continues with Vupardi, a keur mare by Fresco. Apardi is a full-brother to the KWPN stallion Bacardi VDL. Apardi measures 1.72 m / 16.3+ h. He was bred by F. van de Linden in Haaren, and his semen is available through VDL Stud in Bears. Apardi meets KWPN radiographic requirements. He has also been evaluated for conformation. Apardi's jumping breeding value is 144 with 45% reliability.
