Conteur is by the mighty Contender who has well and truly established himself as a stallion of high regard. Contender won the 1987 Adelheidsdorf stallion performance test and was declared 1-b main premium vice-champion in Oldenburg as a result of his excellent first batch of foals. He established himself as a procreator of sports horse very early. Currently he has 55 approved sons, and premiumed daughters number 56 to date. He continued his stud career as a constant purveyor of top quality horses of both disciplines for the Holstein elite auctions. The FN breeding value rating has listed him as one of the most versatile top class hereditry transmitters of Germany for years now. He has countless excellent showjumpers. There is hardly a German breed that has not profited the prepotency of this magnificent stallion. The dam Ofarim has presented two licensed sons, the other being Caballo, also by Contender, and she is the dam of Bravo, dam of Contendro. She is also in the pedigree of Cranach, below. She is the daughter of the successful competition sports horse Rasputin, who is closely inbred to the foundation sire Ramzes AA and was particularly versatile in his heredity. Ramzes AA appears a total of four times in the pedigree of this impressive up and coming young stallion. This bloodline produced the sports horses Retina, Athlet 90, Corlando and Athletico.
