Conthargos produced a series of top horses, including the Olympic jumpers Conthargo-Blue/Eiken Sato/JPN and Condara/Luis Fernando Larrazabal/VEN, the European Championships show jumpers Caept’n Hoek/Armando Trapote/ESP, the Pan American Games winners Pia Contra/Nicolas Pizarro/MEX and Abril Iconthon/Leandro Moschini/ARG, and the 1.60 metre show jumpers Costa Quick PS/Mario Deslauriers/CAN, Conchado/Ignacio Maurin/ARG, Cobalino PS/Martin Knudsen/DEN, Concare PS/Mark Bluman/COL, Conchento PS/Gregory Wathelet/BEL, Concona/Ben Maher/GBR, Ciara PS/Simone Blum, sixth at the German Championships and the individual gold medallist at the Junior European Championships in Gorla Minore/ITA, Tailormade Contou/Anastasia Nielsen/MON, and the team gold winner, Conthanja/Coen Williams/IRL.

In eventing, Jadore Moi/Sophie Leube won the CCIO4* eventing in Boekelo/NED and finished sixth at the German Championships in Lumühlen. Chocorado won the Oldenburg Cross-Country Horse Championships and placed eighth at the World Championships for six-year-old eventers. Conthara secured silver at the Hanoverian Championships for four-year-old eventing horses.

More than 80 of his sons have been licensed, including our two-time Champion Stallion Conthalou, our Continental Blue, who is placed at the front in Grand Prix, our Oldenburg State Champion Conkanno PS, and the serial winner in show jumping tests, Conthalor Blue PS, as well as the Westphalian Champion Stallion Con Touch RS, the premium stallion and OS main premium winner Coeur Rouge and the current jumping winner and reserve champion from Mecklenburg.

With Colleen, Conthargos produced the OS Champion Mare in Rastede in 2023. Ulala Ute was crowned OS Reserve Champion Mare in 2025. Ophelia was Reserve Champion Mare in Holstein, Sierra Leone second Reserve Champion in Austria and Classy Art competed in the final ring at the Westphalian Elite Mare Show in Münster-Handorf and finished sixth at the German Show Jumping Mare Championships in Lienen. One Conthargos colt each won silver and bronze at the German Foal Championships. Cara Electra DK Z was the 68,000 Euro price peak of the Zangersheide Quality Auction.

In 2008, as a four-year-old, Conthargos won the Deister Championships on the Dobrock with a score of 9.5 and easily qualified for the German Championships in 2009. Due to injury, he was unable to continue his own career. This is done in his place by his offspring, who also earned him a place among the world’s best show jumping sires in the WBFSH ranking.

At the beginning of his career, the sire Converter won 22 show jumping tests for young horses up to M level with scores up to 9.0. In 2005 he won the Oldenburg State Championships, placed at the German Championships and was the second-best show jumping stallion at the World Championships for young show jumpers in Lanaken/BEL. Five of his sons received a positive licensing verdict, including the internationally placed Convertus. More than ten offspring are successful in 1.60 metre courses, such as Calouba/Herman Mones Ruiz/ARG, Campino/Oliver Lazarus/RSA and Cat Balou/Tamie Phillips/CAN. And then there are the Youth European Championship team third Crüger/Max Haunhorst, Compagnon/Hans Thorben Rüder and Caja/Martin Sterzenbach.

His dam Cajandra Z produced a whole series of international show jumpers, including Chacjandra (by Chacco-Blue) and Afrika (by Converter I)/Werner Muff/SUI, who were successful in 1.60 metre show jumping. The Conthargos half-brother Vivathago PS (by Vivant van de Heffinck) was placed internationally up to 1.55 metres with Elian Baumann/SUI. The Cajandra daughters Caya Blue (by Chacco-Blue) and Cajandra’s Girl (by Contefino) produced the 1.60 metre jumpers Coleur Blue (by Couleur Rubin) and Bordeaux (by Centadel).

The dam’s sire Carthago was the most successful show jumping stallion in the world at the time, with two Olympic participations under Jos Lansink/BEL in 1996 in Atlanta/USA and 2000 in Sydney/AUS. His sport offspring, registered only in Germany, including Marco Kutscher’s Cash, Mylord Carthago by Pénélope Leprévost/FRA and Classix Girl by Sören von Rönne, collected over 4.4 million euros in prize money. Among the most influential of his more than 50 licensed sons are Colman, Cardino, Carinue, Cartani, Carvallo BB and Crown Z.

Conthargo’s dam line, which is of French origin and exclusively bears stallions from our station with Latus I, Sandro and Colorado AA, results in the internationally successful show jumper Nike.
