Sebastian is by Mermus R who in his Functionality test at Ermelo he completed with the top score.
Mermus R is only 8 years old but already has a son approved with Studbook Zangersheide in Rubert R.
Mermus R's sire is the well respected Burggraaf, who in turn is by the legendry Landgraf, out of Loanda
H, by the ever impressive line of Cor de la Bryere.
Burggraaf won 6 out of the 7 qualifying rounds
for the National Stallion Competition and competed Internationally under Roelof Bril.
He was a winner at Brabant in the Puissance when he cleared 2.10m.
Also reserve champion in 1.40m
at the KWPN Stallion Show. Landgraf has produced more than 50 approved stallions and 70 plus state
premium mares in Germany alone.
The dam of Mermus R has some fantastic credit behind her with
bloodlines from the great Ramiro Z and Joost. Ramiro Z has been extremely influential in today's
breeding, especially through his daughters. Joost was the sire of Osta Carpets Carrera who won
the Grand Prix at Aachen in 1993.
Another young stallion by Mermus R is Sam R who recently became the first horse to ever score
the perfect 10 in a stallion grading in Holland.
The Dam: Nellie
Nellie the mother of Sebastian is by Eusebio, who at his performance test in 1989 gained the
impressive marks of two x 9's and two 8's.
In 1991 he was a winner in category A at the National Stallion Competition. Eusebio is by Zeoliet
who performed in both Showjumping [Henk van den Broek] and dressage [Rianne Laarakkers].
Zeoliet is by Ramiro Z out of the Abgar xx sired Sargab. Eusebio's dam is Andante who competed
at Z and ZZ level in jumping and dressage. Andante in turn by the renowned sire Nimmerdor.
His famous progeny include many, but I'll name Olympic Ahorn. He is also the dam sire of the
2002 Olympia World Cup Winner, Marius Claudius under Robert Smith.
The dam side of Nellie goes back to Rigoletto who sired Alwin Schockemohle's International
horse, Santa Monica.
