Transitioning from the farming business where horses were used for labor, my father started riding and breeding sport horses alongside his farm. The first horse arrived in the stable with the purchase of Roosje (by Cobblers Thread) from his father. Distant descendants of this mare can still be found in our family today. By purchasing several top breeding mares, Martien Couwenberg laid the foundation for a successful KWPN showjumper breeding operation.<!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBxAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAICBAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\">The &#8220;golden&#8221; mare Citty (Ramiro x Joost x Abgar) holds great significance for my current breeding program.<!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAICBAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAICRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\">Her great-grandson Highlander C (Numero Uno x Vingino) earned his approval as a licensed breeding stallion for the KWPN and competed successfully at 1.60m level in showjumping.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-2qj1k-4151bd6d8cef06760ac1e6a61ac7a098 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtcs1bu8-830ac393b3a0960dfa45f124c87f9869 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBxAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: \">Meanwhile, her daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters are also proving they carry Citty&#8217;s genetic value, demonstrated through both their (auction) foals and the achievements of their older offspring.<!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><!--TgQPHd|||&#091;&#093;--><\/div>\n<div data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBxAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: \"><\/div>\n<div class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-hveid=\"CAAICBAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: \">For instance, Citty&#8217;s youngest son, Cincitty (by Numero Uno), won the Longines Grand Prix of Beijing twice under Henrik von Eckermann.
