Born 2013; brown; 168cm or 16.2hh;

Breeder: Herbert & Ute Steuber in Garstedt, Germany.

Confidento is a sporty, brown Stallion with good size and substance, proportions, good gaits as well as type and appeal.

At the Hanoverian licensing he displayed exceptional free jumping and convinced the judges without a doubt about is abilities. The long list of performance horses from his bloodlines underscore that confidence.

Confidento’s Sire Contendro I needs no introduction. He is the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 World #1 Eventing Sire and World #25 Jumping Sire. He is also the only sire in the world in the top 20 of the CSO and Eventing rankings, with also some international winners in Dressage.

Contendro I’s sire, the legendary Contender, is one of the world’s leading jumping sires. His notable offspring include the likes of Montender (Marco Kucher), individual European gold medalist 2005; Checkmate (Meredith Michaels Beerbaum), team gold WEG Kentucky 2010; and Carlo (Nick Skelton), individual European bronze medalist 2010. He can also be found in the pedigrees of the top stallions Chellano Z and Balou du Rouet.

Contendro’s first dam, Bravo, is also the dam of the licensed stallions, Caretano Z (by Caretino), 1997 Reserve Bundeschampion, 1999 World Champion of 7-year old show jumpers, and a World Cup Finalist in Gothenburg, Sweden, and of Contendro I’s full brothers Contendro II and Cassito (by Cassiano). She also gave birth to Contendro’s full sister, BB Caretana, ridden by Niklaus Schurtenberger of Switzerland, a highly successful international show jumping mare.

Confidento’s full brother "Conbassy" (Stable: Paul Schockemöhle) was the jumping winner and licensing winner in 2014 in Redefin.

His Mother, Estelle St.Pr. v. Embassy I delivered a good performance test with a score of 9.25 in Jumping. She was the champion mare of Herwart von der Decken-Schau 2007 and foaled many successful horses, for example, Steuberhof's Golden Top and the young mare Golden Snow (HvdDS 2014 1c präm.), both Sired by Graf Top.

Confidento’s grandmother Day Dream v. Don Juan also foaled many successful horses, for example –

Steuberhof’s Everybody’s Darling v. Embassy I (International S Jumping Tournaments),
Steuberhof’s Excellent Choice v. Embassy I (M Jumping Tournaments).
Steuberhof's Excellent Jump v. Embassy I (M Jumping Tournaments)
Landor v. Landor S (M Jumping Tournaments)
Safari v. Sandro (S Jumping Tournaments).

From the Dam line of the “Leuthen,” numerous highly successful jumping horses emerged, among others von Abke, Landgold, Contender, Night and Day, Landfriese, Coupe de Coeur, Laptop, Jack of Spades II, Rebel Z, Escudo, King of Spades, Robin L and For Pleasure, but also Dressage horses like the licensed stallions Donnerschall v. Donnerhall (up to Inter I) and World of Dreams v. World Cup (up to Prix St. Georges).

We are proud to have this Hanoverian Premium Stallion standing at Sigma Warmbloods, in partnership with Prairie Creek Stables of Lacombe, AB.

The direct grand dam and great grand dam of Rock Forever successfully competed in international competitions (e.g. Prinzess of Pilot under M.

As a phenomenal Reserve Champion at the 15th NRW-licensing in 2005, this charming youngster presents himself in a dark bay jacket – he convinced the public not only with his three excellent paces, but also with his phenomenal jumping talent. The licensing committee as well as the public praised his extraordinary exterior. His gifted double talent he inherited repeatedly to his offspring.

Remembering Royal Blend

Sigma Warmbloods and Family Wüthrich are sad to announce the passing of Hannoverian stallion, Royal Blood. Born in 2001, this striking dark chestnut impressed with his suppleness, his movements, which swung through his whole body and his walk, which were valued with the highest scores. He became a guarantee of success in the big arena and collected successes in dressage at the highest level.

Royal Blend was the reserve champion of his stallion performance test. He combined two of the Hanoverian State Stud's proven bloodlines, that of Rotspon and 2006 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year with Laurie's Crusader xx, Grande and Duellant. And at the 2005 indoor dressage show at Vechta, he was proclaimed the Best Hanoverian Stallion born in 2001, based on his performance test results and a competition under saddle at Vechta. 

Passing peacefully at the end of March 2018, Royal Blend will always be a remembered and be a part of the Sigma Warmbloods family, with his beautiful energy and gentle spirit.

With the passing of one, comes the beginning of another, as we look forward to welcoming his offspring this coming summer from our mares.

Spotlight: FVF Figaro (B.C., Canada) of Gervantus II

Figgy2.jpeg

As we enter 2018 we're excited to share our first Spotlight of the year. 

Welcome Kasey and FVF Figaro and THANK YOU for sharing your story with us. 

----

Almost 1 year ago, I met the love of my life, Figgy. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was the horse for me. He was friendly and sweet, and yawned twice before I put his bit in (which he still does today), which we took as a good sign. Sure enough, after the first ride, I fell in love.

Figgy1.jpeg

My name is Kasey Lathangue, I am 16 years old, and I live in BC, Canada. I have been riding for five years now, and have leased a few horses, but I have never made quite a connection like I have with Figgy. 

FVF Figaro, or Figgy, is a 15’3hh black Canadian WB gelding out of Gervantus II. He has had a successful past in the hunter ring, showing up and down British Columbia. and Thermal, California, USA,  winning Champion and Reserve all over.

When we got him, we started out as hunter jumpers, but lately we have noticed his huge potential in the dressage ring, so we made the switch. He has gorgeous movement and catches everyones eyes in the show ring. Figgy looks just like a smaller, daintier version of his dad. 

Not only is he an awesome athlete, but he is my best friend on the ground, always nickering when I come to fetch him from the field, or following me around just because. He has stolen my heart and many others with his loving temperament, and he’s received lots of pears for it, they’re his favourite :)

Figgy and I will be showing first level dressage at local shows, and possibly Thunderbird this coming season, and I couldn’t be more excited to get started.
