Nimmerdor

At his performance test in 1975, Nimmerdor starred in the jumping, and went on to an International career with Albert Voorn, competing in Berlin, Paris, Goteborg, Dortmund and London. He was selected for the Los Angeles Olympics, but his owner, Weipke van der Lageweg decided he should stay home and concentrate on his breeding activities.

As a sire, Nimmerdor has been equally successful, even before he retired from the competition arena, his progeny were starting to make their way through the ranks. Nimmerdor is currently ranked 29th on the World Breeding Federation ranking for the period 1992/2001 on the basis of a staggering 42(!) international level jumpers. These include such stars as Himmerdor with Paul Freimüller, Broere Goldenbridge and Wout-Jan Van der Schans, Heartbreak and Peter Geerink and Canadian Colours and Jill Henselwood. Nimmerdor has more than 40 approved stallion sons around the world and is proving himself to be the sire of sires: his son, Ahorn after a successful International jumping career, went on to sire current jumping sensation AK High Valley Z, the recent winner of the TNT Sires of the Century competition for the second year running. At the moment, 25% of the top 150 Dutch jumping horses are out of Nimmerdor mares - and at the age of 30, the grand old man of Dutch breeding is still healthy hale.
