Please note that with the exception of Dr. Pepper and Providence, these stallions do not belong to us, they are stallions we have bred our mares to. Some of these stallions belong to the Hanoverian State Stud and are available through the German Verband. Follow the link on our home page.

Contendro I. received Premium status at the 1999 approval. In 2000 he confirmed all hopes by winning the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf where he received the highest scores in all partial indexes and was also the absolute best in jumping. In 2001 he placed among the best at the Holstein Reitpferdechampionat and was nominated for the Bundeschampionat for German riding horses.

Numerous foals from Contendro's first crops were awarded premiums and sold especially well in Hanover. Several were admitted to the foal auctions in Verden, selling for prices that were well above average.

His pedigree also leaves nothing to be desired: The sire, Contender, who also won his stallion performance test, is one of today's most outstanding Holstein Verband sire personalities. The dam, Bravo, produced the top sire, Caretano by Caretino. In 2003 Contendro II became her third licensed son. The granddam, Ofarim, had two licensed sons, Caballo and Conteur. Contendro I is highly inbred over the Anglo-Arabian stallion, Ramzes, a fact that has always played a significant role in line 104 a, Contendro's line. This line also produced the sires Capitano, Carloni, Carneval, Celano, Chicos Boy, Corland, Landego, Landetto, Laurin, Leuthen I and II, Lonely Boy as well as the top international horses Retina/Fritz Thiedemann, Athlet 90 and Corlanda, both ridden by Willi Melliger (SUI) and Athletico/Ludger Beerbaum. This line was uncompromisingly bred for jumping performance even before World War II.

Licensed for Oldenburg, Hanover, Westphalia and Holstein.
