Capers
(Capone I-Consul)
Born 2004

2004 Oldenburger mare, 163 cm

Capers is a 2004 Oldenburg mare (Capone I x Consul) and a recent additions to DK Sporthorses broodmare team. Both her mother Nightwatch and her father Capone I were international 1.50-1.60 jumpers. Capers was never tried in sport, apart from an occasional free jump. The anecdote, witnessed by Dejan himself, when she finished her free jumped line in superb form and then casually trotted up to the 1.70m high arena fence and easily jumped out, in order to join her friends in the field, is still talked about. Dedicated to breeding in a small family operation, Capers has produced four foals so far, including international 1.60 showjumper Cassini Z, who partnered with his rider Darragh Kenny, represented Ireland in Nations cups and recorded wins and placing at the highest level, including at London Olympia, GCT in Madrid and Dublin. Another foal of Capers, Von Carter, in his 1st season, 2019, jumped 7 clears in 10 starts in “Cycle classic” for 4yo. We are looking forward to what he can do for his new owners! Capers ‘s dam Nightwatch (Consul x Carneval) competed up to 1.50m, and grandmother Karrousel (Karneval x High Rank XX) produced three 1.50m jumpers, as well as Berkeley, the dam of our own Belle Clara DKS, who recorded many wins and placings at Grand Prix level. Caper’s sire, Holstainer stallion Capone I (Contender x Ladalco), was an international 1.60 m showjumper, representing Canada internationally in Nations cups competitions.
