Comic B,
as he was originally named, is a stallion who was inspired from his very
conception. His breeder Johannes Brinkmann aimed to produce in Comic a
top dressage horse without neglecting jumping talent. Comic is just that
… a son of the highly versatile and proven Holsteiner stallion Come On,
Comic is a testimony to the vision of Johannes Brinkmann. |

| Comic produced Class I results in
his 100-Day Test in Münster-Handorf (123.14) in the year 2000 and
was awarded a score of 10.0 for his general rideability. He also
earned scores of 9.0 in riding horse and aptitude tests and won
several riding horse classes and dressage novice classes as a 4-year
old. As a 5-year old, Comic earned a 6th place finish in
the 2002 FEI World Championships for Young Horses in Verden and 3rd
place in the qualifications for the prestigious Bundeschampionat.
Comic showcased the versatility of his pedigree by competing lightly
in jumpers at age 6.
Near the end of 2003, Hilltop Farm was
approached by the FRH (Verein zur Förderung des Reitsports auf
hannoverschen Pferden e.V), the organization which secures top
talent for Germany's future sport and promotes this talent under
their best riders, with a special opportunity. They offered a
partnership arrangement with Comic between his breeder Johannes
Brinkmann, the FRH, and Hilltop Farm. The versatility of this
stallion’s pedigree, combined with his exceptional rideability and
sport performance sealed the deal, and Comic Hilltop FRH was a proud
addition to the Hilltop Farm line-up. |

| Competition success for Comic
Hilltop FRH has continued. Paired now with Carola Koppelmann, Comic
is a seasoned FEI horse well on his way to the Grand Prix
arena. This pair capped off the 2006 show season with a win at the
prestigious Nürnberger BurgPokal Finals with a 74.10%. In
2007, the pair moved up to the Grand Prix level and immediately
qualified for the HKM Cup, a finals for young Grand Prix horses. |

Comic’s sire Come On (Cantus-Langraf
I) was Reserve Champion of his stallion performance testing in
Medingen. Come On developed into a successful international show
jumper with wins and top placings at Nations Cup events under Ludger
Beerbaum, Ralf Schneider, and HRH Princess Haya of Jordan.
Comic's dam Pik Dame (Platon
I-Grande) has produced five offspring by different sires competing
successfully in both dressage and show jumping. Her sire, the
Westphalian stallion Platon I was a successful jumper on the open
international level under Nelson Pessoa for Brazil and under German
federal trainer Kurt Gravemeyer for Germany. Platon I traces back to
the Thoroughbred stallion Pluchino xx, as do the influential
stallions Polydor and Pilot. Pik Dame's dam Grande Maree competed
herself in show jumping and produced Adonis S by Almé Star and
Rosita by Raphael, both successful show jumpers to the intermediate
level. |

The first foals by Comic Hilltop FRH hit
the ground in Germany, Canada, and the US in 2005. His foals
demonstrate a beautiful uphill balance in their frames and their
sire’s supple, elasticity movement and clear elevation of the stride
through the knee and forearm. All Comic’s youngsters have
demonstrated pleasing attitudes and generous natures.
Comic's quiet, calm manner and easy rideability
suit the amateur market beautifully and there is a strong likelihood
that Comic will produce the versatility contained in his pedigree. |
