ES Prinz Gaylord was an acclaimed international jumper.   Prinz Gaylord was a steady, consistent competitor and put in clean rounds in big competitions, including World Cup qualifiers, against formidable opponents. He was a strong jumper and he had incredible heart; it just wasn't in him to quit. Throughout his show career, he remained an active breeding stallion - often breeding mares just before competitions.  While approved for breeding by Hanoverian, Oldenburg, ISR and Westfalen studbooks, Prinz Gaylord was registered Westfalian. He is the son of the Champion Stallion Perlkonig. His dam, SPS Golden Gate, was a Grand Prix jumper who won more than 30 European jumping competitions. Prinz Gaylord is her only offspring. At the 1977 Jubilee Show in Munster, she was declared the best Westfalen jumping horse. She is bred from the legendary Gotthard line. Her dam Panama (Petra) was by Papayer xx, the father of Paradox, the biggest producer of jumping champions in Westphalia. Panama, was an International Grand Prix jumping champion and was Jumping Champion of all Germany. Perlkonig's dam is by the Hanoverian Lavendal, producer of many Hanoverian jumpers. Prinz Gaylord is, therefore, a successful jumper from a dam and grand dam who were also successful jumpers - a very strong pedigree
