Crack is a stallion who gets everything right in his sport horse career. With Richard Vogel, he breezes from success to success. The combination took home their most recent wins from Donaueschingen and Stuttgart. This Cornet Obolensky son impresses with his exceptional rideability and willingness to perform. These qualities along with his ability and way of jumping make him an exceedingly athletic breeding stallion.
Crack is one of those stallions able to live up to expectations as a breeding stallion and a sport horse in equal measure. He has a wonderful personality and is very rideable, qualities he passes on to his offspring, same as his athleticism. Mares should have a smoothly connected top-line.

Sire
Cornet Obolensky was among the most successful jumping horses at international top level of his time. With Marco Kutscher, he placed in several World Cups, Nations Cups and championships and crowned his career with team gold at the Madrid Europeans in 2011. Having retired from the active show jumping scene he is now considered one of the best jumping sires in the world. Names of high-achievers such as Cornardo NRW, Cornet d’Amour, and Comme il faut are directly connected to Cornet Obolensky. Cornet Obolensky also carries proven Holsteiner genes through his paternal grandsire Corrado I, his maternal grand sire Nimmerdor, as well as Randel’s sire Ramiro.
Damline
Crack’s dam line has distinguished itself at international level in competition. His sister Corcega la Silla by Casall attracted a lot of attention in youngster classes at international horse shows with Rolf-Göran Bengtsson and is now very successfully shown at S level by Jose Antonio Chedraui, particularly in Mexico and North America.
A brother to Crack, Inar C by Quidam de Revel, competed in jumping classes at international level to 1.50 m already at nine-year-old.
His second dam Adele has also produced the successful sport and breeding stallion Ouinar by Quidam de Revel.
Own performance
Crack completed 14-day ability assessment in Neustadt (Dosse) with flying colours. His free jumping ability was marked 9.0 and he was given 8.0 on rideability by the test rider. The final mark was 8.6 (jumping weighted).
The Cornet Obolensky son Crack won the Verden sport test by a clear margin in 2020. With a final mark of 9.25, his was the best result of all five-year-old jumpers across Germany. This mark was made up of the marks 8.8 (scope), 9.0 (canter), 9.2 (technique), 9.5 (overall impression) and 10.0 (rideability).
Crack’s exceptional jumping quality had become obvious already in his first showing season in 2019. He won almost all young horse classes he was shown in at marks up to 8.6. Brought on further and matured, he qualified for the five-year-old National Championship in Warendorf in 2020. In 2021, Crack became State and National Champion of the six-year-old jumping horses, an exceptional and unprecedented success for a Verband stallion. In 2023, Crack placed at international 1.50m level with Richard Vogel and won 1.45m classes in Mexico. At the national championships in Warendorf he hit it big again: victory in the grand prix of Warendorf! And also in 2024 the successful combination followed up in the same vein: after a second place finish at Münster, the two of them won at advanced level, both at the time-honoured Donaueschingen horse show and the Stuttgart German Masters.

Offspring of Crack
In 2022, an exceptional Crack - Casall foal (Nicola Heyser-Burger, Borsfleth) was knocked down at 23,000 euros at the foal auction held at the Hamburg Derby. Two sons from his first foal crops have been stallion graded, Crackeur (out of a Cassini II-Lombard dam) and Call me Crack (out of a Carvall-Caretino dam). At the elite riding horse auction held in autumn 2023, a Crack daughter, Nilla, was knocked down to an international sport stable at 35,000 euros.
At the 2024 Verband mare show, Operetta, a Crack-Casall daughter bred by Wendy Davis Gerrish (USA) Casall) was awarded the champion title by the panel.
