SAMARANT

2001, 170cm - Sandro Hit x Brentano II x Andrang xx

For MADEIRA FB, from the world-renowned stud of Paul Schockemöhle, we have  chosen the very beautiful and dynamic SANDRO HIT son, SAMARANT

SAMARANT was the Hanoverian Vice-County Champion at the World Young Horse Championships in Verden and winner of the local championships for Young Horses in Nienburg as well as successful finalist at the German Championships for Young Horses in Warendorf. He is a brilliant combination of the  highly sought after SANDRO HIT bloodline together with the noble, producer-proven lineage of Bellvue.     

SAMARANT has three excellent gaits, the quality of which were confirmed at his Stallion performance test where he was awarded top scores. His highly desirable dam, Bellvue, by Brentano ll, is an immensely beautiful type and is one of the most prominent State Premium mares from the Hanoverian breed, having won her category at the Mare Show 4 times in a row.

SAMARANT's model pedigree is excellently complimented by the English Thoroughbred lineage of Andrang xx; his daughter, the Thoroughbred mare Wise Girl xx, produced the National Stud Stallion, Wild Life, by Warkant.

SAMARANT endows his foals with stunning looks and powerful movement - Flyingbuck Santina, 2008, Samarant x Medoc x Watussi, certainly carries her father's stamp!

QUICKSILBER

2000, 170cm - Quattro B x Restorator x Adular

Also from the stud of Paul Schockemoehle, GOLDEN SUNSHINE FB has produced a marvellous coloured colt  by the 5 year old World Showjumping Champion 2005, QUICKSILBER.

QUICKSILBER's sire,Quattro B, is a son of the Selle Francais stallion Qredo de Paulstra, winner of the Grand Prix of Bordeaux. Qredo is sired by the legendary Galoubet, who won World Cup Qualifiers twice and produced international jumpers such as Quick Star and Quatoubet de Rouet. Grandfather Almé is even more famous with his influential offspring Jalisco B and I Love You. At the other side of Qredo we find Furioso xx; father of Lutteur (Gold Medallist Tokio) and Le Tyroll; father of Rocket of Janou Lefebvre.

Quattro himself is out of the famous line of Kermesse, and was 2nd in the Performance Test at Medingen with a high score of 130 points. And in 1994 he was Reserve Champion of the Oldenburg Körung, based on his performance test and his first offspring. Quattro jumped very well in 1996 with his rider Gilbert Böckmann and they won more than twenty 1.30m courses through the summer. Meanwhile Quattro jumps on the international circuit successfully, including second in the Grand Prix of Emsbüren, Kiel and Bremen. He was also succesfull in Caen, Leeuwarden, Berlin, Munich and Geneva. His first offspring show spectacular gaits but they also inherited Quattro's beautiful type and free jump very well. Since 1997 Quattro has more than 10 approved sons; Quando Quando, Quantes, Quatier Latin, Quell Charmeur, etc. Quattro's offspring Quando Quando, Much Ado and Quantum Tyme are famous in Grand Prix dressage. Quattro remarkably had two children qualified for the Olympics in Athens 2004; Quando Quando for dressage and Oliver Q for jumping! Suzie Quattro with Luciana Diniz and Quanta Costa from Rolf-Göran Bengtsson have also both jumped succesfully in 2005. His Rhineland bred dam’s sire Restorator, who is well remembered as an international show jumper ridden by Rico Lorengel and Siegmar Stroehmer, was in his time the largest advertising medium for the County Stud Neustadt an der Dosse

Performance

The stunning Quattro B son, QUICKSILBER, performs to convincingly high standards: his scopey jump, ideal bascule and quick reactions earned him the Reserve Champion title at the Brandenburg Approvals and he was Winner of his 30 Day Test. He has many, many wins in jumping competitions and was a successful finalist at the German Young Horse Championships in Warendorf. He could only top off these results by winning the Young Horse World Championships in Lanaken, Belgium - which he did!!  With clear rounds in all the qualifications and in the final, he was deservedly rewarded with the World Championship title in 2005. QUICKSILBER swiflty moved on to the 1.50m level and, aged only 7, he was placed at CSI* -level with Manuel Fernandez Saro.

Progeny

QUICKSILBER, in the form of an elegant thoroughbred, has already proven his producer qualities. In 2006, he produced the Champion Foal of Mecklenburg County and a colt from his 2007 crop reached the finals of the German Foal Championships, making him one of the top 10 foals in the whole of Germany!

QUICKSILBER has this year, as always, passed on his modern type and eye-catching athletic ability to his long-legged, coloured chestnut and white son, Flyingbuck Quickstep, 2008,  Quicksilber x Golden Chief - this colt is simply stunning!!
