2026 dark brown colt by CONFIDENTO o/o SARINA W by QUIDAM BLUE, CO SANTINO W is a tall, engaging colt with a curious, friendly nature, and not to miss, his flashy chrome wrapping! Shown with his surrogate dam as his birth mother died when he was 2.5 months old. CO SANTINO W should be considered an all around talent. He has correct conformation, a powerful trot and exceptional uphill canter. His strong jumper pedigree suggests he would excel in the jumper or eventing rings, though his movement can’t rule out a dressage career.
SIRE: The Siegergengst of his stallion licensing with the Hanoverian Verband, CONFIDENTO brings together the exceptional bloodlines of CONTENDRO I and EMBASSY I, DON JUAN. His sire, CONTENDER I, needs no introduction being the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019 World #1 Eventing Sire and World #25 Jumping Sire. His dam, ST.PR.ST. ESTELLE, 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 is a sporty, brown stallion with good size and substance, proportions, good gaits as well as type and appeal. His oldest foals of 2017, are already competing in 1.15-1.20m divisions in Germany, as well as basic dressage. His oldest Canadian foals of 2022 are just beginning their competition careers.
DAM: SABRINA W brings an equally strong pedigree. Her sire QUIDAM BLUE was an international Grand Prix jumper (licensed/approved German Hanoverian Verband) possessing a natural ability for collection, clean gaits and a superb canter coming from blending the powerful genetics of QUIDAM DE REVEL, LANDGRAF, COME ON by CANTUS and PILOT. She is dam of four other foals each displaying superb athletic ability and quality type. SABRINA W’S dam, SAMBA W, brought an equally strong pedigree combining Sigma Warmbloods foundation stallions: sire GERVANTUS II and GOYA DE LULLY. GERVANTUS II by GRANNUS, passed both the German stallion performance test in Medingen and the one in Switzerland in Avenches. Ridden by Urs Fah, he was a member of the Swiss Nation Team.
