Belgium-bred Corfu’s breeder, Eric Goosens, went to great lengths to have then 23-year-old Hera bred to Cumano who was only -  and scarcely - available through frozen semen.

The big-framed colt underwent an excellent development from the time he was presented for pre-selection to the actual Neumunster stallion grading. In late summer very tall, but not very muscular, Corfu had beefed up to international youngster calibre for the grading. The Cumano son’s most outstanding point are his big frame, his strong top-line and his correct legs. The stallion’s tremendous jumping ability is particular impressive. Despite his height, he is an agile jumper with very good reactions. His quality canter is of particular importance for a future show jumping career.

Considerations for breeding

In view of his own sire Cumano as well as his high quality dam line, Corfu should make a good sire as well. With just a minimal amount of Cor de la Bryère blood and due to his special body structure and exceptional jumping ability he is suited to breed many mares in our studbook in a bid to improve height, size, and ability in their produce.
