Zarewitsch XX

This quality, athletic grey mare is directly related to the Holstein Licensed Stallion Carreno (Contender) as they share the same mother 'Farah XI' and her sire is the Contender son Conterno-Grande.

Conterno-Grande was reserve champion of the Oldenburg stallion approvals in 1997 and then went on to complete his stallion performance testing in Adelheidsdorf in 1999, where he had especially high marks for jumping. In 2000 he qualified for the Bundeschampionat for German jumping horses, where he finished fifth overall. Conterno Grande combines fantastic basic gaits with outstanding jumping ability making him typical of his sire Contender. The mother Grannuschka is the full sister to the successfully bred, sporty Gio Granno/Franke Sloothaak and is also the dam of the internationally successful premium stallion, Couleur Rubin. Conterno Grande also comes from the line of the successful international three-day-eventing mare Chica (breeding name Rudilore II), ridden by Wolfgang Mengers. From this pedigree is also the liscenced and Grand Prix stallion Tantris, who is successful in international dressage. The eldest offspring from Conterno Grande have already shown incredible success as winners in young horse jumping tests.

On her dams side is the well known Ramiro daughter 'Gessy' who produced the two international jumping stallions Lombard and Corvado.

In February 2008 Dandy had a filly foal by Indoctro, which will be retained by Newton Stud (see Youngstock for more details). Dandy is currently being ridden and is therefore not in foal at present.
