Lineage
Bristol is by the preferent stallion Jazz, whose stamp on breeding and sport is unparalleled. Thanks to his numerous successful international offspring, he tops this year's WBFSH ranking for dressage horses. Bristol's dam Selina (s.Goodtimes), who carries the elite predicate, excelled in her mare test. In addition, she won the Central Inspection championship and finished in the top group at the National Mare Inspection. Her dam Carrola (s.Nurprimus) is a ster preferent mare whose offspring include Z-level horses by Goodtimes and Vincent. Bristol's great-granddam Simona, a daughter of J. Amagun, boasts the ster, preferent, and prestatie predicates. She produced several successful dressage horses and show jumpers, among them the grand prix horse Karolus K.
