Conteros is sired by the legendary Holsteiner stallion, Contender (Stamm 2472), out of Rawiena by Raphael (royally bred foundation sire of 22 licensed sons). Contender is the sire of 127 approved sons and 40 Premium mares with offspring like Montender, Checkmate 4, Carlo 273 and Chiara 222. Conteros himself has an extensive international record at 1.60m with top rider, Toni Hassmann (Germany), which includes many world placings in Aachen, Germany. Upon import, Conteros was able to change hats with his amateur owner to the hunter ring with notable firstplace finishes in international hunter derbies in the U.S. Among his small collection of offspring, the solid grouping includes an internationally licensed and approved son showing and placing in CSIO5* and CSI4*, with other talented offspring in CSIO5* and CSI2*. Conteros’ versatile pedigree makes him an ideal candidate for North American breeders–jumping and dressage alike. His uphill, balanced and floating canter makes any discipline a breeze for this stallion and his offspring. His beautiful head, neck and topline are that of his sire, Contender. Conteros exhibits correctness and substance of bone. Conteros’ jumping style has the scope for the top of the sport, yet form for the hunter ring. Other inheritable traits are his exceptional temperament and work ethic. He stamps his offspring with leg length, scope and natural balance. Conteros is a beautiful example of a versatile stallion. With Raphael in the damline, it adds insurance of promising, premium offspring.
