Condios
Approved by Holsteiner Verband
Condios, the international Grand Prix winning stallion, has been approved
as a sire by the Holsteiner Verband following two days of rigorous
inspections at Elmshorn,
Germany. Condios is now approved by a total of ten studbooks in Germany,
Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and
the United States.
Bred
by Dieter Steffen, Condios (Coriano x Landgraf I) is a nine-year-old
Holsteiner owned by Morningside Stud in County Clare, Ireland and
ridden for Denmark by Henrik Steen Gundersen. In the 2003-2004 World
Breeding Federation for Sport Horses ranking of international Grand
Prix showjumpers, Condios is ranked 355th in the world; among the
horses in the youngest age group (those born in 1995), Condios is
the #1 Holsteiner and the #2 stallion in the world. His achievements
in 2003 included winning the international Grand Prix of Copenhagen,
placing third in the Volvo Penta International Grand Prix of Norway,
and placing eighth with the Danish team in the Nations Cup of Podebrady.
"I
am delighted that the Holsteiner Verband has approved Condios as
a sire", states Tom Reed, the owner of Morningside Stud. "This
was the first time Condios was presented for approval to the Holsteiner
Verband, and the standards he had to meet both as a sire and a competition
horse were among the highest in the world. With Condios' foals and
young stock selling privately and through elite auctions to clients
in Ireland, England, Wales, Italy, and Uruguay I am eager to work
actively with breeders in Germany so that Condios can make a big
contribution to the Holsteiner breed."
