Overview

Ocordo, a Dutch Warmblood, was a son of the matchless Olympic Concorde (Jos Lansink) and came from a mother who was the full sister of Carrera La Silla, an outstanding international competitor who won the Grand Prix at Aachen and participated in several Nations Cup events.

Ocordo, a talented jumper in the prime of his life and on an upward career track, left this world too soon and will be deeply missed by our staff, his longtime rider Erin Davis Walsh, and all of his admirers. His true greatness lives on in the foal crops he left with us and the hope they carry forward into the future. Ocordo is by the outstanding sire Olympic Concorde, who, guided by Jos Lansink, won the Grand Prix at Aachen and the Dutch National Championships, among many other successes. Concorde is himself by in incomparable Voltaire, one of the highest ranking sires among sporthorses worldwide for the past decade.

Ocordo’s dam, Katosca, is a full sister to another Aachen winner, Osta Carpets Carrera, who is today owned by the studbook La Silla. Great jumping genetics combine in Ocordo, a beautiful and capable stallion of enormous personality and charisma.

Imported as a six year old and brought up carefully through the levels, Ocordo began showing in Grand Prix and international competitions in the last several years. He exhibits great interest in his work, careful and bold on course, and demonstrates his tremendous scope in the most difficult of combinations. He offers a pedigree crammed with proven jumping abilities backed up by very solid and serious show records among many family members, a resume to be seriously considered for those looking to produce highly competitive prospects.

Offspring

Ocordo has produced several foal crops and has become increasingly popular as a sire for attractive, beautiful individuals with the skills required to be competitive showing prospects. While all the offspring are beautifully marked and exhibit exceedingly nice type, they are also very athletic and elastic in their carriage and movement. The older foals which we have free jumped show the intelligence and care for the work that Ocordo himself exhibits. We expect great things from these youngsters and look forward to seeing more of them headed to the arena. Ocordo is a good cross for mares who need improvement in the topline and in overall type. He improves gait quality as well, especially in the canter. Breeders should consider using mares with some Thoroughbred in the second or third generation. Ocordo is actively competing and will be available only during the standard breeding season dates, as published by October Hill Farm. Within that time period, however, he will be showing locally. October Hill Farm will endeavor to accommodate all mare owners during this period but encourages adequate lead time for optimal scheduling and shipping of orders.
