Breeding Career
The Holsteiner Verband had noticed the success that French blood had in the Oldenburg breed, which had used the stallions Furioso II and Futuro (both by Furioso) to upgrade their stock, and wished to introduce it into their own horses. The Oldenburg breeder Alwin Schockemöhle offered to part-lease the stallion Urioso (by Furioso). An inspection committee travelled to France to evaluate the horse, and happened to find Cor de la Bryere while they were there. The Verband purchased and imported the 3-year-old to Schleswig Holstein, Germany, in 1971. The same year he was the Champion of his 100 Day Test.
On April 27, 2000, at the age of 32, Cor de la Bryere was put down due to acute heart disease.
