Action Hero

Acord II is sire of the Holstein Action Hero. Acord II is a son of Ahorn Z (Alm� Z x Heureka Z) out of the Calypso I-daughter Ribecka. Acord II has a good reputation in breeding because he passes on his excellent showjumping qualities. Acadius, Acorado and Atlantic are some of his licensed sons. Dam Beja is a daughter of the Latino-son Lakai out of Esther. Esther is also dam of the international showjumping horse Almox Athletico (Athlet Z) who was second in the Hamburg Derby with Ludger Beerbaum. Esther is by Colt (Cromwell - Cottage Son xx). Colt was a stallion that was briefly active during one season and only produced a few female offspring. The influence of these few mares, which included Esther, has been enormous. Many international showjumping horses and licensed stallions descend from Colt-daughters. Esther`s dam Assa is also famous. This Farnese-daughter is dam of the underestimated progenitor Carneval (Cor de la Bry�re). Assa is also granddam of the international showjumping horse Athlet from Willi Melliger. This lineage, which is registered in Holstein under number 104A, also produced the stallions Caretano Z, Corland, Capitano Z and Celano.
