Pacific's sire, Corland, proved himself as a breeding stallion and was awarded the predicate Keur. In his pedigree, you will find the
‘Preferent’ stallions Nimmerdor, Joost and Courville xx. They sired many international show jumpers and stallions with names like: Ahorn,
Jasper, Renville, V.I.P. and Goldenbridge.
Pacific's mare line descends from an imported Holsteiner mare, which is bred out of a strong breeding and performing family. The black
grand-dam of Pacific, Aresa Lady, is ‘Preferent Prestatie’. She produced the international show jumper Intermezzo. The dam of Pacific is
the black ‘Preferent’ mare Joyful Lady, who performed twice in the National Mare Test. She also produced the approved stallion Radisson.
Pacific won the Stallion Test in 2000 and he obtained the highest points in years. He received for jumping 9, 8, 8.5 and 9 and for gaits 7.5, 7, 8.5 and 7.5. This made him the best
jumper, best all around and the winner of the stallion competition.
Pacific is now competing at International level with his rider W.J. van der Schans. They are one of the most winning combinations in the
young horse classes at the European shows. In 2005, he won the final and a qualification class at the International Young Horse
Competition at Bremen, two classes for 7- 8 years old horses at Hachenburg, 1.40m Helsinki, 1.35m Mierlo, 1.30m Meise and 1.35m Haaksbergen.
In addition to all these victories he also placed 2nd at a 1.50m class in Oldenburg, 3rd & 4th in Donauschingen, 4th 1.40m Leeuwarden and 4th 1.40m
Gijon.
