About Nimmerdor
Nimmerdor is a (died 2003) bay KWPN showjumping stallion foaled in 1972, by Farn out of a Koridon dam.
Nimmerdor, a distinguished KWPN stallion, was born in 1972, bred by J. A. D. Bosma in the Netherlands. His sire was Farn, a notable Holsteiner, and his dam was Ramonaa, a KWPN mare. Nimmerdor's exceptional jumping ability was quickly recognised during his stallion performance test in 1975. He excelled in the international showjumping arena under the skilled guidance of Albert Voorn. His competitive portfolio included appearances at prestigious venues like Berlin, Paris, Gothenburg, Dortmund, and London.
Despite being selected for the Los Angeles Olympics, Nimmerdor's owners opted to focus on his breeding career. This decision proved wise, as he became a cornerstone of modern showjumping breeding. He was approved by multiple studbooks, such as the KWPN and Holstein, and was highly rated in the Dutch jumping index as well as the WBFSH rankings. Nimmerdor's impact on sport horse breeding was substantial, earning him recognition as the 'KWPN Stallion of the Century'.
Throughout his breeding career, Nimmerdor sired over thirty approved stallion sons. His lineage continues to influence international showjumping circuits, with many of his progeny achieving noteworthy accomplishments.
Nimmerdor sired numerous successful showjumpers who made remarkable impacts on the international circuit. Among his offspring, Heartbreaker stands out, having achieved prestigious placements in several Grand Prix events and being named the 'KWPN Horse of the Year' in 2016. Another distinguished progeny, Ahorn, sired horses like Ursula XII, who showcased talent in high-level competitions such as the LGCT Grand Prix of Mexico in 2018. Goodtimes, another notable son, sired Lucky Times, a multiple Pavo Cup champion who competed successfully at the Grand Prix level. Finally, Aram, also a son of Nimmerdor, sired De Sjiem, the gold medallist at the 2000 Olympics.
Nimmerdor died in 2003 at VDL Stud, Netherlands (Not Specified). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
