Quintender is a top athlete with a perfect performance record.  Quintender reached the final of the Bundeschampionat twice, won numerous tests for young show jumping horses with top scores thanks to his outstanding jumping-technique. He established himself easily at the 1.50 m classes and was internationally successful with Andreas Kreutzer. In 2011, they placed with the best in Hanover, Munich, Gera and other sites. Quintender convinces with an enormous willingness to perform, thoroughbred-typed power and exceptional technique.

His first offspring have already achieved high placings up to 1.30 m in classes for youngsters. Quick Shot was licensed in Hanover in 2012. In 2008, Quintender presented the Federal Winner Foal at the German Foal Championship as well as the most expensive foal at an auction that sold for 120,000 Euro in 2008.

His sire Quinar produced 19 licensed sons to date and numerous successful athletics in 1.50 m classes who chalked up about 320,000 Euro according to FN Breeding Yearbook. Quinar’s son Quick Nolte, also successful at 1.50 m level, advanced in 2003 to price record at the Holsteiner auction sold for 400,000 Euro. Eurocommerce Memphis placed with the best in the 2011′ Grand Prix of Munich, Redefin and Nörten-Hardenberg.

Quintender originates from the highly successful Holstein line that also produced the licensed stallions Cardenio, Cyranos, Leandro, Quinto de B, Capitalist, Colorit as well as internationally successful sport horses such as Randi or Leonardo/Franke Sloothaak.

Quasimodo’s dam Carla was bought in 2006 as a two-year old in Germany as we were amazed by her elasticity, cadence and attitude at this age. She was inseminated using Quintender semen, but sadly did not produce a foal before leaving Germany. Once in RSA, she has been used as a broodmare, as well as having been backed. Due to the quality and temperament of her foals, she will continue to be used as a broodmare in the stud.

Sire Concetto Famos, was successful under Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum in Grand Prix, Nations Cups and the Hamburg Derby, Concetto Famos now impressively continues his career in the breeding sector.

Two of his sons have been licensed: the first in Westphalia who was sold for 100,000 Euros and the second, a premium stallion at the Southern German Hengsttage, who sold for 50,000 Euros.

Among Concetto’s foals there were many show winners, also in 2008 at the shows in Donzdorf and Heiligenfeld. In 2004 a Concetto Famos filly took seventh place in the German Foal Championships in Lienen. Other offspring are now successful at medium (M*) level such as Concetto son/Hilmar Meyer, Cornetto/Joachim Heyer and the ribbon winning Bundeschampionat finalist, Con Palermo, who was one of the most expensive at the P.S.I. auction.

His Holsteiner sire Caletto I won team bronze at the 1983 EC in Hickstead/GBR under Dr. Michael Rüping. Among his 30 licensed sons you find Calvaro Z, Cambridge and Cantus.

His Danish bred dam, St.Pr.St. Sif, is a granddaughter of the trademark stallion Ramiro through Racot. In the third generation you find the Trakehner stallion Isländer who comes from the famous Isola Longa family.

Damsire Mytens xx, has recent;y become very popular and desireable in sporthorse breeding.

Mytens was born in the United States and sold to Britain as a yearling. He was very successful in training as a 2 year old and at the start of his 3 year old career until a tendon injury forced his retirement from racing. As a breeding stallion, in 1989/90 he was entered into the stallion competitions and was unique as the only Thoroughbred stallion to have completed all seven competitions including the finals.

Myten’s sire Spectacular Bid xx won 26 of his 30 starts and as a 3 year old and was unbeaten in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, but finished third in the Belmont Stakes, just missing victory in the world renowned Triple Crown. He later won the Marlboro and the Meadowlands Cup. He finished his career following an unbeaten season and 4 track records, claimed victory in the California’s Strub series, and the Washington Park Handicap, set a career earnings record, and gained the prestigious title of Horse of the Year. As recognition of his overwhelming career he joined the Hall of Fame in 1982. His pedigree can be traced back via Bold Ruler to the legendary stallions Nasrullah and Nearco.

Mytens dam’s sire Hoist the Flag is one of the more prestigious stallions in the United States.

In 1990 his first yearling fillies came up for inspection and Mytens fillies were successful at 3 provincial shows by taking the reserve champion. At the yearling show for Thoroughbreds, two Mytens colts gained a first premium, of which one was champion. Other successful offspring by Mytens include the 1999 winner of the German Young Event Championship; Magic Michael, currently competing at Prix St George and Harrison Himself, now competing in dressage at Prix St George and highly successful in combined dressage and jumping competitions. He stands at 8th place in the BHD rankings for his own winnings. In 2000 Mytens was the third placed sire for points earned by offspring in the hunter section on the NAWPN.

Mytens shows great technique and power that is successfully passed onto his progeny, along with his attractive conformation, stunning movement and jumping ability.
