About Grande
Grande is a (died 1989) Chestnut Hannoveraner showjumping stallion foaled in 1958, by Graf out of a Duellant dam.
Grande, a Hanoverian stallion foaled in 1958, gained fame as a breeding sire rather than a competitive athlete. Bred by Robert Grothmann of Oederquart, he was approved by the Hanoverian Verband in 1960, initiating his influential stud career. Grande was the progeny of Graf and Duellfest, with both parents hailing from strong Hanoverian lineage. Despite never competing in showjumping or dressage, Grande's impact remains profound through the achievements of his offspring. He resided at varied locations including Achim, Landesbrück, and Celle. Grande's legacy in the Hanoverian bloodline includes 53 approved sons and numerous premium mares, significantly enriching the genetic pool of showjumping horses.
Grande sired over 50 stallion sons, with several achieving international acclaim in showjumping. His progeny's success at prestigious events like the Olympic Games underscores Grande's significant legacy as a top sire in equestrian sports.
Grande died in 1989 at Celle, DE (Gnadenbrot). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
