Dam Lines:
La Bamba’s dam line is a who’s who of international showjumping super sires. His dam High Tune NZPH is sire by the legendary Kannan –
“The real quality resists at time: Kannan is the only stallion in the world to be among the top 20 winners in the WBFSH rankings without interruption in ten years. The strength, respect and mind that he transmits explain the global reputation of his products and always make him one of the most requested sire in the world.”
His dam’s dam, Tune to Blues NZPH is by Mr Blue, a legacy in sport horse breeding. Mr Blue enjoyed an extremely successful jumping career being a winning Nations Cup and World Cup mount and was also selected for the Atlanta Olympic Games. However his real success began when he was purchased by GFE and began his stud career. His offspring have proven to be remarkable, producing a range of top level show jumper’s and Grand Prix winner; Plot Blue who carried Marcus Ehning to victory in the 2010 World Cup final in Geneva is perhaps the most successful. His breeding legacy is also being continued through his offspring, such as Zirocco Blue VDL who is following in his father’s footsteps as a world class show jumper and sire.
