​

Grannus’s in Bono’s pedigree influenced the sport of showjumping. Grannus sired some 800 competition horses who earned just under DM4 million in prizemoney.  Showjumping stars by Grannus include Grannusch (John Whitaker), Grand Plaisir (Ludger Beerbaum), Governor (Phillipe le Jeune), Golo (Gerd Wiltfang), Burmah Grand Slam (Nick Skelton), Top Gun La Silla (Jan Tops) and many others.  Its said Grannus’s legacy may live on more through his daughters.  Well its well placed in Bono’s pedigree.

 

The Trakehner Iines in Bono’s pedigree adds a refinement component in further generations plus forward thinking, elasticity and quickness to his line.

 

Bono van de Kiekenhoef has more than proven himself in the capable hands of some of our Eventers and Showjumpers in South Africa.  If you are looking for a brave, bold, elastic, quick off the ground horse with a super temperament, you cannot go wrong using Bono van de Kiekenhoef. 

​

What sort of mares would he suit?

• He stamps his progeny with a natural athleticism, quickness and desire to jump.

• We would suggest that mares are of reasonable size and stature as he will refine the mare.
