Continental Blue

The extremely promising and powerful offspring from Continental Blue’s first crop, among them the serial winners Contitol PS/Hanna Carlsson/SWE, Continental Café PS/Markus Friedel, Conlarino Rouge PS/Manuela Schweizer and Continental Bijou PS/Niklas Betz, are conquering the show jumping events. With Conteros Blue PS, his first son has been licensed.

Ridden by Philip Rüping, Continental Blue has also been highly placed himself in the Grand Prix of Herning/DEN, Neumünster/GER and Neustadt/D./GER. This incredible athlete seamlessly continued his series of successes in show jumping competitions and later in international young horse competitions.

Continental Blue was licensed in 2020 and provided the required achievements with his sport successes.

His sire Conthargos, who also stands  at our stud, has produced numerous top horses, including the 1.60m show jumping horses Pia Contra/Nicolas Pizarro/MEX, Cocolina/Natalie Dean/USA, Carlotta/Johnny Pals/NED, Easy Girl/ Santiago Lambre/BRA and Vanessa Hood/USA, Conchacco/Patrick Stühlmeyer/GER, Connecticut/Matthew Sampson/GBR and Cosa Nostra/Jeroen Dubbeldam/NED, to only name a few. Almost 20 of his sons have been licensed, led by Continental Blue/Philip Rüping and Conthinder/Andrzej Oplatek/POL, who are both successful in show jumping competitions up to 1.60m.

His dam Chagolda also produced the two international 1.40m show jumping horses Congolda Blue PS (by Contendros)/Koki Saito/JPN and Don Blue (by Diatendro)/Roberto Turchetto/ITA.

In the second generation of the pedigree appears our elite stallion Chacco-Blue, a son of the Holstein stallion Chambertin out of a Contender-Godavari xx dam and inbred to the line founder Cor de la Bryère. He was third in the Grand Prix in Aachen and won the Grand Prix in Neumünster. In 2015, the successes of his offspring placed him amongst the top ten of the world's best show jumpers for the first time. Since 2017, he has led the ranking of the world breeding federation WBFSH. His most successful offspring include Explosion W/Ben Maher/GBR, Olympic Champion, individual silver and team bronze medallist at the European Championships and Global Champions Tour winner, Chanyon/Daisuke Fukushima/JPN, placed sixth at the Olympics, Chaqui Z/Shane Sweetnam/IRL, European Team Champion, and Chacon/Eoin McMahon/IRL, placed second in the Nations Cup final, amongst others.

His grand-dam Kirigold produced the 1.50m show jumping horse Cargoldo (by Cartoon) as well as other fantastic horses: Cricket, Chaclando, Charigold, Chalano Gold (1.50m SJ) and Spartacus (1.50m SJ)/Dirk Demeersman/BEL (all by Chacco-Blue) as well as Bobby Balou (by Baloubet du Rouet; 1.60m SJ)/Pål Flam/NOR, and Guidam PS (by Quidman Denfer) and Gold Shere Khan (by Shere Khan du Banney)/ Balázs Krucsó/HUN, who were both placed in the international Youngster Tour.

The great-grand-sire Landgold was Vice German Champion in 2000 and internationally victorious with Franke Sloothaak, Katharina Offel, Björn Nagel and Oliver Lemmer. Three of his sons were licensed and around 30 of his offspring competed at high level such as Lacontino/Luciana Diniz/POR and Alexandre de Rothschild/FRA.

His great-grand-dam Kirina also produced numerous international show jumping horses including Cam-Wood (by Calido I), Laganda (by Landgold)/Bruce Goodin/NZL, Cargana (by Carinue)/Theo Muff/SUI and Chagano (by Chacco-Blue).

The licensed stallion Risandro (by Ricardo), who was internationally victorious with Samantha McIntosh/NZL, also descends from this dam line.
