The influence of Kannan continues to shape modern showjumping breeding.

While Kannan is celebrated as one of the world’s great sires, his impact as a dam sire is proving equally remarkable.

Today, some of the sport’s most exciting stallions carry Kannan through their maternal line, combining his scope, power, rideability, and competitive mindset with the qualities of the world’s leading sire lines.

Among them are the licensed stallions:

▪ Ermitage Kalone - 2014 (Catoki x Kannan)
▪ Mindset ES VDL - 2017 (Aganix du Seigneur x Kannan)
▪ Nadim Il Faut - 2018 (Comme Il Faut x Kannan)
▪ Tattoo TN - 2019(Parfait van het Schaeck x Kannan)
▪ Cyrus M53 - 2020 (Cornet Obolensky x Kannan)

The consistent emergence of top performers and breeding stallions from Kannan daughters is no coincidence. It is a testament to the strength, reliability, and quality that he continues to pass on through generations.

Congratulations Stuart Hofmeyr with Elvis M53! 🥂🏆 and in second place Diamonds Suzie Q with Chazelle Smith. 🍾
Elvis M53 is the first foal bred by Moorcroft Farm. He is by Eldo out of a Badgerland mare. Suzie Q is the dam of our special gelding Nataniël M53 (Numero Uno x Spartacus TN).

Our season officially closed a few weeks ago, and looking back, it has been an incredible season for Cyrus M53 (Cornet Obolensky x Kannan).

With 24 foals due next season, we are counting down the days until we meet the next crop.

To everyone who chose him, believed in him, and trusted his future, thank you.

Congratulations Chazelle Smith 🏆
The dam of Nataniël M53 - Diamonds Suzie Q winning the Championship class. 👏👏
