Rainer Korber and 334 Sea of Stars jumped clear in the mare’s first 1.50m Grand Prix at the Aquelle Foresyte Winter Classic in Shongweni yesterday. By Stakkato out of a Calato mare, bred and campaigned under the 334 banner, the mare.
“Team 334 are overjoyed,” said Aisling Triggol. “Govett in particular, because he has always believed in the mare. She’s made such a great team with Ray. Emotions are running high with pride at her jumping clear in her first Grand Prix. It’s a horse Govett has always, always believed in.”
About 334 Sea of Stars
Hanoverian | born 2016 | 169cm
Sire: Stakkato (Spartan) | Dam sire: Calato (Capitol I)
Sea of Stars offers something a little different from the Holstein profile of the 334 band described to date. A dark chestnut Hanoverian at 169cm, she brings a different quality of movement and a different genetic conversation to the breeding programme. By Stakkato, a well-known German stallion by Spartan who competed at international Grand Prix level and became a trusted sire of careful, athletic offspring, she inherits a lineage associated with consistency, technique and soundness.
Through her dam, Calanda by Calato (a son of Capitol I), there is a further strand of German quality that adds scope and structural correctness. Sea of Stars has competed to 1.45m, and as a Hanoverian mare in a programme that values diversity of blood, she brings a genuinely distinct set of genetic traits. Her natural balance and correct movement are the hallmarks of her breed at its best.
Congratulations to Rainer, to Sea of Stars, and to everyone at 334 on a milestone round.
