Colander

Colander is a half-brother to last year’s bronze medallist Montender ridden by M. Kutscher. He possesses three above-average elastic gaits and at the same time an exceptional pedigree. His sire Contender, a living legend with  over fifty approved sons, produces top jumping and dressage horses in serial production. His dam Holsatia is sired by stallion of the century Landgraf I, who is regarded worldwide as the most prominent producer of show jumpers over the last decades. Following in the third generation is the valuable Caletto II (amongst others, he sired Olympic gold medallist Classic Touch ridden by Ludger Beerbaum) son of the founder of the bloodline Cor de la Bryere. Colander jumps with complete elasticity combined with exceptional quality. At his first attempt, Colander qualified for the 2004 National Young Horse Championships in Warendorf and the Young Horse World Championships in Lanaken, Belgium. Furthermore he produced the most expensive foals "Catch Me" und "Conland" two years in succession at the A.O.S. Auction.
