The famous C line produced a number of top sires as e.g. Consul, Couleur Furst, the sire of showjumpers Caanitz, Corvin, Chardonnay and Cornus. The advanced dressage horse and federal champion Corna originates from this family. On his dam's side Almox Prints J. has the famous Pilgrim (by Pythagoras), sire of the Olympic dressage horse Pepel.
