Solitair

Solitair is a jumping talent with super movements and a very appealing conformation to boot. At his performance test in Ermelo he received an 8.5 for his canter and for walk, trot and talent, three 8.0’s. His sire Voltaire (Furioso II) jumped internationally at the highest level with Jos Lansink and Emile Hendrix. In addition, Voltaire, who has more than thirty registered products in the Breeding Guide for international showjumping horses, belongs among the best progenitors in the world. Solitair was bred out of Nigrante, a beautiful daughter of the legendary Holsteiner stallion Libero H (Landgraf I) with whom Jos Lansink won the 1994 Den Bosch World Cup finals. Of the small group of Libero H’s offspring, a great many are very successful in international showjumping circuits of which Iowa, Numero Uno, Luc, Liberty, Maike and No Mercy are the best known. Both Maike and No Mercy belonged to the best horses at the 2004 Olympics. In his dam line Solitair carries a large amount of blood through the influential progenitors Abgar xx and Pericles xx. This lineage also produced several licensed stallions as well as the Grand Prix jumper Figaro (Leslie Steele). The offspring report that was published last year praises Solitair’s foals for their correct exteriors their charisma, and their super movements. Just recently Solitair won a jumping competition in Vreden (GER) receiving the highest note of 8.8 for his technique and overall jumping qualities.
