Recently, Big Star and Great Britain’s Nick Skelton were crowned Olympians. Embryoauction.com gives you the opportunity to purchase an embryo by top sire Aganix du Seigneur out of Telysette K – the full sister to Big Star. Take this chance!

Big Star was born in the stables of Cees Klaver and already at an early age, showjumping experts thought Big Star was a phenomenon for the future. The American Olympic rider Laura Kraut – Nick Skelton’s partner – spotted Big Star as a youngster in the Netherlands and without a doubt, they purchased the son of Quick Star. Nick Skelton soon stated the stallion was the best horse he ever sat on and given his list of former mounts like Dollar Girl, Arko III and Carlo this raised great expectations.

Big Star met all the expectations! In 2011, his winning streak already started at the age of 8 and in 2012 he won among others the Grand Prixs of Wellington, Antwerp and Hamburg. At the Olympic Games in London, Big Star was the favorite contender for the gold medal. Finally, he won team gold with the British team, but one knockdown dropped him off of the individual podium. In 2013, Big Star and Nick Skelton continued their successes, winning the prestigious Grand Prixs of Rome and Aachen. Afterwards, Big Star disappeared of the circuit for a while, due to injuries. This year, Nick Skelton managed to get the now 13-year-old stallion back in top form again and in Rio de Janeiro Big Star proved to be a living legend: Skelton and Big Star took home the individual gold medal.

Telysette K – this embryo’s dam – jumped herself at 1.30m-level and carries the foundation sires Quick Star, Nimmerdor and Ramiro in her pedigree. In addition to Big Star, Telysette’s half-sister Belycette K also competes at international level with Poland’s Andrzej Oplatek. Telysette’s dam Jolanda jumped herself at 1.30m-level and is the half-sister to the KWPN-approved stallion Matterhorn. The influential sire Amethist is again the half-brother of Jolanda’s dam Elysette.

The sire of this embryo Aganix du Seigneur is considered to be a foundation sire in the making. He is brilliantly bred with Ogano Sitte x Chellano Z out of the famous damline of Olympic bronze medalist Gute Sitte. Aganix himself jumped at Grand Prix-level with Jos Lansink. He passes on his tremendous scope and his extreme carefulness  to his offspring.
