Kannan’s competition successes have included:

We look for him to provide scope, size and power, suitable for jumper courses or hunter ring, as his technique and movement are excellent as hunter type. Because of his size and strength, he is well suited to small to medium weight mares, which lack size, scope and power. DAM: Daffidol is out of Jeff McVean's world cup Show Jumping mare Flower Power.

The pedigree of Emilion exemplifies performance. His ‘Keur, Preferent’ IBOP-A’ dam, Ramirha, is a daughter of the full-sister of the Holstein legend Lord. Emilion is much like Lord - a true sire of jumping horses, not only as a sire, but also as a dam’s sire.

Based on the fantastic performances of his direct offspring and his great achievements as dam’s sire Emilion was awarded with the predicate ‘Preferent’ at the age of 28. Emilion’s own performances are impressive. Guided by rider, Ulrich Kirchhoff, he won the World Cup of Mill Street, and placed in the following Grand Prix: 2nd in Donaueschingen, 4th in Valkenswaard, 5th in London and 6th in the World Cup at Aarhus. With the German team, he was 4th in Dublin and Rotterdam, and 2nd in Bremen.
