"For many years,
Landgraf has lead the list of sires of sporthorses. His offspring have won more
than seven million dollars by now, mainly in showjumping, and in this respect he
is the top sire in the world today. The runner-up is more than two million
dollars behind, and Landgraf's children are still as successful as ever, and the
prize money they win is still growing fast. It will take a long time to surpass
Landgraf's record."
Canada Select Sport Horse.
Landgraf I is considered by warmblood breeders across the globe to be one of, if not THE, Stallion of the Century. Of all the Ladykiller sons, Landgraf I was able to assert himself the best. At this time, he is the most successful sire of show jumpers the world has seen. He has produced 130 approved stallion sons, who are active in every breed association in Germany and many of Europe and the US' breeding associations.
The Holstein breeding association in
Elmshorn created a life-sized monument to him in 1994, which was attended
personally by Landgraf. Landgraf I died at the age of 30 in 1996.
His impact on warmblood breeding will be known for generations yet to come.
He is truly an important consideration in any pedigree.
Landgraf I rates as a first class sire and is a relation on Landa's sire's side.
