There wasn't any doubt that Le Formidable (by Bordeaux x Ferro x De Niro), Coco's sire, would take the Champion title at his 2019 Stallion licensing, and so he did. "Without disrespecting the other stallions, we can say that Le Formidable was the clear champion. He has so much nobility and elegance, moves with much balance and power from the hindleg. It was a pure joy," said licensing committee chair Bert Rutten.
Le Formidable's sire, BORDEAUX, was the winner of the KWPN licensing in 2009, then won the stallion performance test in Ermelo. In 2012 he placed fourth with Eva Moeller in the final of the world championships for six year old dressage horses in Verden. In winter 2012 and 2013 Bordeaux qualified with victories in the KWPN stallion series. Under Moeller, Bordeaux was trained to developing grand prix- level and represented Norway at the 2017 European championship under Isabell Freese-Bache.
The dam line of Le Formidable consists of the most outstanding and influential bloodlines a stallion could hold. His dam Vienna holds an elite status and is the dam of licensed stallion Four legends and multiple elite mares.

On her Dam's side, Coco descends from Apache, Apache was one of the best examples of modern KWPN breeding, known for his super movement, powerful hind leg and extreme suppleness through his body. He produced super foals of a lovely modern stamp who can really move. He started his career as reserve champion of his KWPN licensing, and in December 2015 he made his international grand prix debut, scoring +73% in the straight and +76% in the freestyle. Since then, he has continued his campaign at grand prix level, with scores of +75% in a World Cup qualifier. Apache's success as a sport horse was almost guaranteed by his pedigree, which contains eight Grand Prix horses in the first five generations. His sire, UB40, is a modern, long-lined stallion who is frequently used to add refinement to more old fashioned mares, and the same can be said for Apache. UB40 was reserve champion of his performance test in 2002, and had several wins at international Prix St Georges level. He is also the sire of licensed stallion El Capone, (damsire OO Seven). UB40's sire Olivi, Grand Prix and Keur stallion, is by the legendary Jazz, from the Utopia mare line. UB40's dam, state premium mare Kilucienne, is by the influential Trakehner Michaelangelo, out of a daughter of the KWPN foundation stallion, Farn. Apache’s dam is the elite mare Tolanda. She is a daughter of the flamboyant grand prix competitor, Krack C, and out of a daughter of the long-time FEI competitor, Inspekteur. This mare line has produced multiple top sport and breeding horses.
Apache sired Indian Rock, champion of the 2016 KWPN licensing, out of a mare by Vivaldi. Judges consistently awarded Apache a 10 for his trot and use of his hind leg, and he consistently passes on this electric movement to his offspring. Notable progeny also include the licensed stallion Grand Galaxy Win and Gio- who scored +79% at his grand prix debut under Charlotte Dujardin.
Coco is so much fun to watch in the ring. She is just stunning in movement, with impeccable confirmation and uphill gaits, combining the presence and athletic ability of all these top performers.
