Studline

Contida stems from the famous holsteiner CONTENDER, super star in delivering international jumpers like Checkmate (Michaels-Beerbaum), who already won more than 600.000 Euros and winner of the team gold medal European championship 2005 as well as the world cup qualification in Goetheborg and s'Hertogenbosch. Contenders approved son Montender was under Marco Kutscher German Champion in 2003, bronze medallist at the Olympics 2004 in Athens and double European Champion wiht team and individual in 2005. Constantin 24 jumps international with Ludger Beerbaum, winning e.g. in Calgary, CAN and Arezzo, ITA. Collin 7 won under the command of Toni Hassman, GER, three times the difficult Hamburger Derby.
Contenders approved sons are equally successful in and outside of Germany, like Concerto II (breeding index jumping 153), Conterno Grande (jumping internationally with Philip Weishaupt) or Contendro (breeding index jumping 150).

Contender's sire CALYPSO II is one of the best sons of COR DE LA BRYERE and has a very high breeding index jumping of 144. He himself jumped a short time highest classes with Dr. Michael Rüping, GER unitil fully concentrating on his stallion career. He comes from one of the most succesful holsteiner marelines 6582. Calypso's was a very successfull broodmare, bringing 6 approved sons.

Contender's dam GOFINE descends form the holsteiner mare line 2472 and deliverd several top jumpers like Ulina (German champion with Susanne Behring), Largo, Frechdachs and Florenza as well as the approved stallion Cornetto by Caletto I, who has a high breeding index jumping of 137.

Gofine's sire is the truly European stallion RAMIRO, who jumped internationally and put his trademark on nearly every european studbook with his successful offsprings. The most famous is for sure RATINA Z, Goldmedalist at the Olympics under Piet Raymakers with the Dutch team, later equally succesful with Ludger Beerbaum.

Greatmother CITA is a daughter of the famous thoroughbred LADYKILLER xx, whose most successful approved sons are LANDGRAF I and LORD and who delivered a lot of international jumpers as well as dressage horses during his lifetime serving Holstein.

Mareline

Contida's mother PANDURA is a daughter of the westfalian superstar PILOT, who delivered lots of international winners and champions like Bugatti Pedro, winner of the team gold medal at the Olympics Seoul 1988 with Wolfgang Brinkmann; P.S. Priamos, successfull in the whole word for the German team with Dirk Hafemeister and Ludger Beerbaum; Pro Pilot II, first german horse competing for French Equipe with Edouard Couperie and internationally succesful, as well as the currently very successful ISOVLAS Pialotta, 4th in the individuals at the world championship in Aachen 2006 with Edwina Alexander, AUS.

Pilot sired 85 approved stallions, e.g. Peter Pan (ZWS Spr. 146) or the Celler stallion Perpignon (ZWS Spr. 146). But also his daughter were very successful, nowadays sought after as broodmares. Pilot has a breeding index jumping of 140 and belongs to the top 5% of the German jumping sires. 

Contida's dam PANDURA competed a short time successfully in cat. 1.30 classes and got several high placements. She has unlimited jumping power but due to an injury had to quit competing. Pandura produced a full sister of Contida, Contessa, who is equally successful as a broodmare. Her son Quintender (sire: Quick Star) was qualifed for Bundeschampionat jumping 5year olds and won or was placed in several jumping tests up to cat. M. Another offspring of Contessa, Fortender, was the most expensive foal at the 2004 Westfalian elite auction, sold for €45.000 to a stud owner.

Pandura's dam GRANDHARA is a daughter of GOLDRAUSCH II, who was inbred  to  hannoverian trademark sire GOTTHARD.  In her damline we find two times the westfalian RADETZKY, whose sire RAMZES x is as well grandsire of RAMIRO. 

Own Performance

After having her first foal, Contida was taken into jumping and started like her mother very succesful as 5 year old in jumper tests. As 6/7-year old she advanced into cat. M classes, and won or was being highly placed 12 out of 13 competitions. After an injury she had to take a long break, so we decided to retire her from sports and got back into breeding.

Contida was ranked no. 10 in westfalian mares with a breeding index and has index jumping of 136!
