Handsome mare with a fantastic pedigree. She had a successful career in the jumper ring with Hap Hansen. She is a pretty mover with a fantastic jump. Some show results: 2006 - 1.30 Jumpers placed 1st out of 17 entries 2007 - HITS 1/2 Circuit Level 4 Jumper Championships - 1st out of 118 entries 2007 - Level 5 Champion - 73 entries Sire Quinar is by Quidam de Revel, took team bronze and fourth place individually at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelon.  As of 1993 he was ridden by the Danish rider, Thomas Velin, and the pair won the Grand Prix of Hanover and Arhus/DEN, and also set stardards in breeding.  Ten Quidam de Revel offspring participated in the 2002 World Championships in Jerez, Spain, including the later team gold winning, Dollar de la Pierrre . Quinar himself finished his stallion performance test with the top index of 142.03 points in jumping and was soon successful in advanced S level international show jumping competitions under Jos Lansink.  After initially breeding in Holstein, he then briefly bred at Zangersheide stud in Belgium, but soon returned to Holstein.  At least nine of his sons have been licensed so far. His zuchtwertindex in jumping is 144 (79%).  Quinar is the sire of 5 world champion jumping horses; he is the sire of Quik Nick, who sold for 400,000 EU's at the Holsteiner annual auction. Quinthago, 5 year old daughter of Quinar, won the FEI world championships for young horses in 2009 in a jump off - out of l30 in the class. 2 other Quinars came in llth and l7th.  Quinar has excellent conformation, type and motion and tremendous scope.  His bonits are 9988679.  Quinar has two crosses to the great Alme', through the sire Jalisco B on the paternal side and Aloube Z on the maternal side.  The stamm of Quinar is 1020, also the stamm of Carthago. Damsire Lataan is by the famous Lord. Lord was an elegant sire with a commanding presence and good lines.  His head could have been more refined; however, he had expressive eyes and a long, classic riding horse neck.  In additon, he had excellent conformation of the shoulders, withers, and croup.  His foundation was light with very long pasterns; he was tied-in at the knees, rather straight through the hind legs, and did'nt have enought detail in the hocks.  Lord had spectacular movement with exrordinary jumping ability which he had proven in eventing.  A possible explanation for his consistently inharmonious type transmission could have very well been that he was three-quarters thoroughbred.  In the beginning, his stallion sons frequently appeared tall and thin with unrefined heads while his daughters were visibly nobler. His first crop produced the international showjumper, Livius who won the 1980 German Showjumping Derby under Peter Luther, and then team medals at the 1981 European Championships, the World Championships of 1982 and the 1984 Olympic Games. In fact the showjumping family Luther has been instrumental in the success of Lord - Peter Luther's sons both starred on Lord progeny - Thieß rode the licensed stallion, Lord Incipit with great success, and Haucke Luther was a star in the puissance with Lyra 20. Other successful competitors by Lord include Luguna (K. Huck), Lafeyette (H. Schmidt), Actrice (C. O. Nagel), Lusius (E. Gundel) and Pedro who competed at the World Championships in Dublin with Thomas Frühmann, Loyal 9 (P. Nagel-Tornau) and many more. Successful sire sons include Lantaan in Holstein, and the sadly short-lived, Lord Liberty in Oldenburg. In all, Lord sired more than 60 stallion sons, and his progeny won more than Euro 3,000.000. Dr Dietrich Rossow in his Stallion Book of the Holsteiner Warmblood Breed, was somewhat cautious about Lord: "Lord was himself a successful 3 day horse. He is not a consistent producer. We see tall horses with big heads and also refined, sometimes small mares with beautiful heads. Along with his head, he often passes on his leg faults. All his get are endowed with enormous score over fences. His best offspring are products of crosses with refined mares." In the last few years the "L" line has been somewhat sparse in the international jumping ranks and in the groups of approved stallions, with a strong preference by the breeders and riders for the "C" line horses. Dr. Thomas Nissen, the breeding director of the Holsteiner Verband has recently highly recommended a return to using the "L" line horses and he has suggested a preference for the Lord line over the Landgraf, which is certainly a switch from what the breeders originally did.  However, in the context of being able to look back over the last 30 years, it seems that Lord has, for now, won out between the two great Ladykiller lines. Dam Dam's sire is Caletto II.  From Schridde:  "Caletto II was the best stallion of his age group at his Stallion Licensing in Neumunster.  He was outstanding in presentation with thoroughbred performance ability, harmonious and deep, but missing something at the loin area and hamstring musculature.  He had a clear, correct foundation with a convincing presentation of the walk and trot.  Caletto II had the same outstanding canter as Caletto I.  His jump was convincing with ideal technique, huge scope, and excellent form.  His good character was praised.  Collectively, Caletto II was a sire of the highest breeding and riding quality, and signified the epitome of the Holstein performance horse."  He died too young.  His best son  is Caretino.
