About Chin Chin
Chin Chin is a (died 2007) bay HOLST showjumping stallion foaled in 1978, by Constant out of a Farnese dam.
Chin Chin was a show jumping stallion of Holsteiner origin, born on 1 January 1978 in Germany and bred by VDL Stud. Registered with the Holsteiner studbook, he hailed from esteemed bloodlines. His sire, Constant, was a notable international competitor and descended from Cor de la Bryere, while his dam, Larese, was by Farnese, combining to offer highly regarded performance and pedigree traits in show jumping. Chin Chin was primarily ridden by Mexican equestrian Jaime Azcárraga and competed in two Olympic Games, achieving a sixth place individually at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and participating again in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. In 1990, he also competed at the first World Equestrian Games in Stockholm. Notably, he reached the World Cup finals in 1989 in Dortmund and again in 1990 in Tampa. After retiring from competition, Chin Chin had a successful breeding career at VDL Stud in the Netherlands. He was influential in the KWPN studbook and approved by several others such as KWPN, AES, BWP, and SF. Chin Chin passed away in 2007 at 29 years old, leaving a lasting legacy through his offspring.
Chin Chin has been instrumental in producing successful showjumping offspring that carried his legacy into international arenas. Among his progeny is Azrael W, who notably won the 1.60m class in Sao Paolo, Brazil in 2018 ridden by José Roberto Reynoso, also claiming the Senior Championship of Brazil. Riot Gun van de Paddenborre continued the string of successes by winning the Grand Prix of Lisbon. Another of his progeny, Tchin de la Tour, triumphed in the 1.45m against the clock competition at the CSI5* A Coruna in 2018, ridden by Guillaume Foutrier. His contribution to breeding extends beyond these examples, impacting the quality of showjumping horses internationally.
Chin Chin died in 2007 at VDL Stud, Holland. Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
