It is with great sadness that Hilltop Farm announced the passing away of their Holsteiner stallion Cor Noir. The 16-year old Holsteiner sire was put down November 3, 2003, for humane reasons.
Bred by Meike Voss, Cor Noir is by the legendary foundation stallion Cor de la Bruyere out of Paranka (by Marmor x Matador). Paranka was also dam to one of the best dressage horses ever alive, Alexandra Simons-De Ridder's Chacomo.
Hilltop Farm's manager Scott Hassler will always remember Cor Noir's focus and power under saddle. "He was a stallion who every day wanted to work and loved every challenge. He had so much ability." At the 2001 Devon Breed Show Ria d'Or (Riverman x Cor Noir) won the Filly Championship and the Young Horse Championship.
