"I have trained several King Kolibri youngsters and they all love their job. They all appear to have athletic potential for the jumper ring as well as rideability. They tend to be horses who will present their owners with opportunities for successful careers." - Elaine Schott, River Mountain Farm

"King Kolibri sets himself apart from other horses by his combination of exceptional traits. In the tradition of his dam and sire, he was special. He possessed mental acuity and stamina and his cool head in competition was matched by his power and grace. King Kolibri fed off the atmosphere of an important venue or class and knew when it counted. He was a lion at the show, but at home he was a sweet, easy horse to work around." Jeannie Tisbo, owner

King Kolibri is an internationally proven competitor with a noteworthy pedigree to match. His sire, Kolibri, is an important stallion in Eastern Europe where he sired many respectable show jumpers and his dam, Fixdesign Athletica (Libero H), won the final of the Toscana Tour for 7 year olds and jumped up to 1.60m. Athletica’s dam had a record through 1.50m and brings the blood of Pit I, Grannus, and Argentinus.

King Kolibri’s career started with Olympian Jos Lansink who took King Kolibri to the 5* level with several impressive results including 6th place in the CSI5* Prix Europa of Aachen, 7th in the CSI5* Dublin Grand Prix, and 3rd in the CSI5* St Gallen Grand Prix. King Kolibri was then imported to the US by Tequestrian Farms and ridden by Lauren Tisbo. Together they had a successful career that included 5th place in the $500,000 CSI5* Grand Prix in Wellington, FL and a 4th place finish in the CSI5* Queens Cup at Spruce Meadows.

As a breeding stallion, King Kolibri has been producing jumpers with records from 1.40m through 1.60m as well as high level eventers. His show jumping products include 1.60m Bjorn H, 1.50m King Julio, 1.50m Katinka Dree Boeken, 1.45m Dean, and 1.45m Lady Kolibri. His high-level eventing offspring include Team Bronze Paris Olympics Medalist Cekatinka JRA, El Kolibri (CCI4*-L), and Etokwick (CCI4*-S).

King Kolibri offspring are easy to start, have good minds, balanced gaits, and nice mouths. He is an excellent option for high energy blood type mares. .
