Coconut Grove xx
(Dare to Pet xx-Propellant xx)

Approved KWPN, Hanoverian Verband, Selle-Francais, BWP, AHA, AHHA, RPSI
Coconut Grove has qualified for every major show jumping event: Pan Am Games,The World Cup, American Invitational, the AGA Jumper Championship and the Olympic Games. He descends from the notable Bold Ruler/Damascus cross, a nick proven to consistently produce jumpers. This cross produced the legendary Grand Prix jumper and sire, Napur. Coconut Grove's sister, Satra, also was a member of the National Show Jumping Team for Columbia. He is the first Thoroughbred stallion in history to be approved and granted improvement sire status by the American Holsteiner Horse Association and the American Hanoverian Society (including the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program). He has 100% approval status - 8 U.S., 1 Canadian and every major European registry, including the KWPN, Hannoverian Verband, Selle Francais and BWP. No Thoroughbred stallion in the U.S. has ever accomplished this feat. Often described as "amazing" when referred to in editorial columns, Coconut Grove has proven an uncanny ability to jump from difficult distances and clear fences. He is agile, has abundant scope and his jumping technique is exceptional. He is is constantly sought after by the Germans, Dutch and French and is quickly becoming the choice for top competition mares. Coconut Grove is the ONLY world class Thoroughbred Grand Prix jumper stallion standing in the U.S. today.
In his first four foal crops, Coconut Grove has produced 100% premium offspring and has numerous offspring sold as stallion prospects in Europe and the US. He produced the #1 foal in the Selle Francais North American registry in 2006, whom was promptly sold to the American Grand Prix rider and Olympian, Anne Kursinski. In 2007, two stallion-sons, Carino OHF and Coconut Cardo, both from his first foal crop, were approved as a breeding stallions.
