Dear Breeders,
Ideally it is best to look for a sire that is successful in international sport. Those that achieve high sport results distinguish themselves from the sires that have only gone through the performance test and the Federal Championships before retiring to stud duties. The trend indicates that the most successful sports horses at this time are descended from successful sport stallions. Whilst the sire line is extremely important the dam line cannot be without strong consideration. From a strong damline you stand a good chance of producing a quality sport horse, however bred to the wrong stallion, the genetic mix can negate the quality of the offspring.
In a stallion you should look for the following attributes:
- Character
- Rideability with above average movement and the ability to use the back
- Attitude, willingness to learn, the heart to win
- Speed, ability, shape and technique over the fences
- A high degree of caution, that is: Fast reflexes and concentration
- Fitness and the ability to recoup
With the stallion South Wind’s Con Tico we find these qualities in abundance. His training is already up to the higher echelons of international sport, aided by his valued genetics.
Con Tico’s sire Cyrano de Bergerac was highly successful in international sport under former World and Olympic Champion Franke Sloothaak. Cyrano de Bergerac was sired by Coriano who in turn was sired by Corrado both highly regarded internationally successful sires. We also find in Con Tico’s pedigree the Thoroughbred influence from Lord. We also find influence from Holstein from the Elite Stallion Ricardo and also Labrador. Labrador brings Ladykiller xx into the bloodline and is also the three-quarter brother of Landgraf I. We also find from Labrador the line of the great Hanoverian dam Ahnenflamme, which produced many licensed stallions and Bundeschampions. Con Tico’s Mother Celina is an excellent type with good movement. Celina is sired by the highly refined stallion Centesimo I. Centesimo I sire is one of the most successful Holsteiner’s of all time Dobel’s Cento. To list all of Dobel’s Cento’s successes is unnecessary. The most important was the German team Gold Medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, the World Cup in Leipzig 2002 and the magnificent victory in the Grand Prix of Aachen in 2000. Centesimo’s mother – the Holsteiner mare, La Toya (stamm 318 d1) – brings the legendary Lord, giving Con Tico a double cross of Lord in his pedigree. We also find the Thoroughbred Marlon xx who is known for producing both jumping and dressage horses of the highest calibre. La Toya is also closely related to the licensed stallion Cumano by Cassini I v. Capitol (2006 world champion horse in Aachen under Jos Lansink).We find double crosses of many of the great sires in Con Tico’s pedigree from the foundation sire Ladykiller xx . We also find the influence of Cottage Son xx via the stallions Lord, Dobel’s Cento and Ramiro. The Stallions Lanacar (Westf) by the Holsteiner Landino from a Pilot mother, as well as the internationally successful Acord I under Jos Lansink. The fortified bloodlines of South Wind’s Con Tico emphasise the quality of this sire.
Below you can see the amount of crosses in South Wind’s Con Tico’s pedigree:
7 x LADYKILLER XX, 7 x COTTAGE SON XX, 6 x RAMZES X, 3 x ANBLICK XX, 3 x COR DE LA BRYERE, 3 x HEILBUTT, 3 x RICARDA, 3 x LOGENSCHLIESSER, 3 x FANAL, 2 x LOCKVOGEL, 2 x GANEFF, 2 x DUELLANT, 2 x HEIDELBERG, 2 x CAPITOL I, 2 x ULTIMATE XX, 2 x LORD, 2 x FAVORIT, 2 x ALDATO, 2 x RAMIRO
