Descendant:
Two stallions that have been in the top 5 of the WBFSH Sire Rankings in recent years are the sire and mother’s father of Kensington ES. As the first Cornet Obolensky, who was not only very successful for many years at major tournaments such as the 2008 Olympic Games and the European Championship in 2011 (team gold) with Marco Kutscher himself, but also made his mark in breeding with producing well performing offspring in sports such as Cornado NRW by Marcus Ehning, Cornet d'Amour by Daniël Deusser, and Comme il Faut by Marcus Ehning. Kensington's maternal grandfather is another famous horse: For Pleasure. He won multiple gold team medals during his sport career, including at the Atlanta Olympics with Lars Nieberg and Markus Ehning in Sydney. The grandmother of Kensington ES is the sport mare Vandine (by Athlet Z), who is classified 1.35m internationally. She produced the international 1 * eventing horse Anand W (by Chin Chin), the 1.40m showjumper Oscar (by Peter Pan) and from Voltaire a 1.35m horse.
