Tacorde
is an easy going, laid back stallion with a wonderful character. He is very
substantial with the right amount of bone for his huge frame and enough chrome
to not be missed. He is one of the few Concorde sons available via fresh semen
in North America. Tacorde is also a very athletic horse with perfect jumping
technique and a ton of scope over the fences; jumping is definitely in his
blood.
Tacorde had another
amazing year in 2009 being very competitive again up to 1.4m this
time with Lorrie Jamieson who is only 5'4". He started his
year a bit late at Spruce Meadows Canada One and North American
where he placed top ten everyday in his second week including a 5th
place in the Saturday 1.25m mini Prix against 50 of the top
competitors in N.A. He then went on to Amberlea where he
became third with a double clear round in the 1.4m grand prix.
He continued at the July Classic at Spruce Meadows in the 1.3m and
then Paramount again at the 1.3m in the mud. He did the open
welcome at Rocky Mountain going clear in the first round. He
finished his year off very well at the Spruce Meadows Masters.
His career is building on previous years where he has been ridden by
both Bryan Anderson and Lorrie Jamieson indoors and out. He
has won many top placings in jump off and speed rounds against some
top competition proving that this gentle giant has the athletic
ability to handle tough courses.
Tacorde's sire Olympic Concorde was named Horse of the Year in
Holland in 2003. Concorde is the number one producer of show
jumpers by money won in the USA in 2002 with his offspring earning
nearly $200,000 in 2002 on the American show jumping circuit. He is
also listed on the top ten for show jumper stallions world wide.
Tacorde's Dam Narcis W is by the immensely popular Goodtimes.
Goodtimes has produced many successful horses in both the jumper and
dressage rings and several approved stallions. Goodtimes is known
for producing offspring with excellent conformation, good looks and
athleticism for any discipline. Narcis W's grand sire on the bottom
is Damiro who is known for adding tractable minds and more great
athletic ability.
Tacorde’s offspring are just as we expected, substantial with
excellent hind ends and super nice 'huntery' canters and their
fathers wonderful laid back temperament. Tacorde is proving to
cross exceptionally well on blood type mares that need a bit more
substance and a more tractable temperament. And yes he has put
chrome on them all!
Tacorde is approved with the Canadian Warmblood and has received his
Silver Premium with the Canadian Sport Horse Association from his wins in the Jumper ring.
