Voltaire

Voltaire won at the highest level, winning Nations Cup classes at Calgary, Helsinki, Lanaken, s'Hertogenbosch, Stockholm, Wembley and Wiesbaden.

He sired an astonishing 28 showjumpers in the WBFSH standings for 2000/2001 and was ranked ninth in the top 50 sires in the period 1991 to 2000.

His progeny include Concorde who won the Dutch showjumping championship in 1994.

In an obituary Henk Nijhof wrote "The Voltaires have the perfect attitude for showjumping horses. They want to get across the barriers, they have the nerve to do this combined with power and carefulness, two issues that are very important in showjumping horses."
