George I Wow
There is no doubt that George WOW’s pedigree makes him one of the most impressive foals, not only among those we have bred, but also in the European panorama of sport horses!
His sire CONTENDER I
His sire is the famous Contendro I, the best stallion in the world for three years in a row and also the sire of eventers as well as offspring that have been among the best 20 in show jumping for six years. Contendro I was the winner of the performance test in Adelheidsdorf and has sired remarkable horses such as Conthendrix (Andre Thieme), winner of the CSI5* Grand Prix in New York and the Nations Cup in Lummen; Codex One (Christian Ahlmann) winner of the Aachen Grand Prix, the GCT CSI5* in Berlin and Cosby (Alberto Zorzi), second in the GCL CSI5* GP in Paris; Contiki (N. Dello Joio) Cold Play, Captain, Copperfield 40 and many other international winners. Versatility and an impeccable pedigree have made Contendro I one of the best stallions currently available.
What is more, his maternal line is well represented in our broodmare Cassiopee de Hus, uterine sister to Contendro I himself but by the stallion Cassini.
