Attention Please

Attention Please, here comes the 2nd reserve winner of the 2024 Holstein licensing! Attention Please impresses with first-class type and a lot of masculine charisma, in short: a stallion model according to the "golden section", whose elasticity is simply inspiring and whose jumping sequence has experience value. Attention Please embodies the fifth generation of the Almé Z stallion line, which began in 1982 with the stationing of Ahorn Z in Klein Offenseth in Holstein and continued through the HLP winners Acord II and Acorado I as well as Acodetto I. Acodetto I, who unfortunately passed away in the spring of 2024, himself placed internationally and sired international show jumpers, has found a worthy heir to the throne here. Diego de Semilly (State Champion 2017), the world-class sires Calido I and Acord II, who had shaped generations of stallions, are also all stallions from the Hell station in the pedigree on the dam's side. A blood connection to Acord II and the Calido I sire Cantus, who was also one of the founding stallions in Klein Offenseth, is striking. 

The great-granddam Larsa is a daughter of the top show jumper Capitano, who was a son of the international top mare Retina/Fritz Thiedemann. Larsa produced the proven sire Lacapo by Landgraf I. The history and development of the Holsteiner line 3615 is inextricably linked to the Thormählen family in Kollmar, where this line, which impresses with its exceptional performance density, has produced the licensed stallions Braveheart Jump (PB Nieders.), Cero I (HLP winner, international SPR experienced with Francois Mathy/FRA), Cero II (PB USA), Cero Blue TN (PB NL) and the internationally successful show jumpers Cera 1/Karsten Huck and Otto Becker (Nations Cup winner in Aachen 1998, German Champion in Gera and winner of the Grand Prix of Mannheim), Echo of Light/John Whitaker (GBR), Fein Cera/Peter Wylde (USA, team gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens), Ornellaia/John Whitaker (GBR) and Zera 23 (winner of the 2017 German Show Jumping Derby with Patricio Muente/SLO). 

The foundation mare Gera was already one of the most successful Holsteiner show jumpers in the 1960s. As a six-year-old, she jumped heights of two meters several times in SB show jumping competitions. Under Harm Thormählen, she was placed in the Grand Prix in Vechta, Iserlohn and Bad Harzburg in 1964 and was later part of the victorious German Nations Cup team in Madrid with Kurt Jarasinski, among others.
