Cointreau
Cointreau is a young stallion with an amazing pedigree. In the third generation you can see a double cross to the amazing Calypso II. The bloodlines contain the best Holstein and hannover have to offer.
The Sire Contendro I is one of the most popular Holstein sires of the present day. He was awarded Premium status at the 1999 Approvals and was the winner of the Performance Test at Adelheidsdorf in 2000, receiving the highest score in both showjumping and dressage. In 2001 he was one of the highest placing participants at the Holstein Riding Horse Championships, and was nominated for the Bundeschampionat for German riding horses. Foals by Contendro I tend to be very dark in color with outstanding paces and strikingly beautiful faces. Numerous foals have been awarded Premium status, and many have been sold at the foal auctions in Verden for well above average prices. In 2004, 11 of his sons successfully completed their Licensing at Verden, Neumünster, Münster-Handorf and Kreuth. The State Studs at Celle , Neustadt Dosse and Schwaiganger all stand stallions by Contendro I, as do many privately owned stallion stations.
The Damsire, Carbid was runner-up of the Stallion Performance Test in 1993. He is a high quality son of the Holsteiner sire Calypso II, who became famous as an excellent producer of outstanding jumping horses. Successful performance genes are also found in the pedigree Carbid's dam: the sire Graphit counts among the special treasures in the Hanoverian breed. The progeny of Carbid are characterised by excellent jumping abilities and a top rideability. His daughter Carmina Burana was winner of the Federal Mare Show in 1998 and also winner of the Louis-Wiegels-Show in 1999 and the Ratje-Niebuhr Show in 2000.
The double-cross Grandsire, Calypso II was a stunning personality and his blood is considered very valuable in various German warmblood breeds. He is holding high indices for producing sport horses such as Capella (life income 85,096 DM), Champ of class (life income 45,692 DM) or Chin Chin (life income 73,121 DM) who are doing extremely well in the jumpers next to more than 40 Calypso II children who have won over 1,000 DM in jumping during the 2000 season. Less known is there is also a respectable group of 13 S-level dressage horses such as Charly Brown or Ghinia and others sired by this stallion. Calypso II himself was shown in showjumping up to FEI level and is currently holding a dressage index of 114 jumping index of 138 due to his offspring in shows.
In 2001 he had 255 registered Hannoverian broodmares, 43 of them with a States Premium title and no less than 18 Licensed hannoverian sons such as Celle State Studs Carbid, Chasseur, , Carismo, Compliment, Champ, Classiker and last but not least Contender to name just a few of them.
According to the Hannoverian Verband's 2001 stallion yearbook he is also holding high indices for improving his daughters limb conformation (116), Dressage ability (132) with a focus on canter and rideability where he scores 149 and 146, and obviously jumping technique and ability which earns him scores of 167 overall including 165 for ability and scope and 161 for manner and technique. Truly a valuable and versatile producer. Calypso II was at first standing at the Celle State Stud beginning at Hänigsen in 1987, then switched to Schillerslage station for 1989. In 1990 he moved to the Kemmers at Amselhof Walle where he served at stud and lived until his death in 2000.
