Gangster Montdesir's father Kannan will be the most successful sire again in 2026

Kannan (Voltaire x Nimmerdor) has reclaimed the crown: He is once again the number 1 in the 2026 ranking of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) for the most successful stallions in show jumping. The success of his son Gangster Montdesir under Richard Vogel also contributed to the success of his father. In 2023 and 2024, the KWPN stallion was already in first place, slipped to second place in 2025 – and now he is back at the top.

Second in the ranking is the legendary Cornet Obolensky (Clinton x Heartbreaker) – now in third place, followed by his son Comme il Faut, who after his successful sports career under Marcus Ehning is now passing on his talents to successful sons such as Checker and Coriaan van Klapscheut Z.
