The beautiful grey stallion Chilli Boy Maxx SR (Cornet Obolensky x Darco) aka Cornet’s Darco, was born at high noon on April 29, 2017, and was the only Polish-bred horse licensed during the last Oldenburg Körung. Immediately following the show, he was sold during the Vechta Auction to Paul Schockemöhle’s Gestüt Lewitz for €85,000.
Chilly Boy Maxx SR was bred by two passionate breeders, Wioletta Sipak and Leszek Chelstowski, who started their own showjumping horse breeding studfarm a few short years ago. Their farm is located outside the Polish city of Szczecin, close to the German border.
Leszek was the owner of the great showjumping horse Abigaj (Lupicor H - Niki Nanita x Concord), ridden by Marek Lewicki, who won many Grand Prix classes, including the Polish showjumping championships. He eventually decided to further develop his passion for showjumping and became a breeder himself.
It all began with the mare Cel’est Z, born in 2008 (Chin Chin x Quidam de Revel) and bought at the age of three directly from her Belgium breeder, Georges Thoussaint. In 2013 this mare gave birth to a filly – Dark Chocolate Maxx (Darco) – who gave birth to a grey colt in 2017, who became Chilli Boy Maxx (Cornet Obolensky), and in 2019 to another colt, Massimo Maxx (Diamant de Semilly), who is now owned by Karin Palu and Zacarias Salmeron.
Chilli Boy Maxx SR’s huge international success came at the right moment. Not only did it confirm that the breeders had made right choices when selecting the stallions, but it also encouraged them to move up to the next level and to improve their knowledge in the field with the help of international experts. Dark Chocolate Maxx is now being trained by an experienced rider, Agata Gil, and together with a few other selected young horses will also participate in a free jumping seminar during the international breeding conference ‘How to raise a success’ held in Radzionkow on February 28, 2020, organized by Cichon Stallions...
