A Contender for upper level sport
Holstein performance stallion with a respectable, elegant frame. Cola has everything that distinguishes a modern sport horse and he has turned into a top athlete: Self-assured and with unlimited ability, he easily does what he's asked to. He took his 30-day test in 2004 in Schlieckau, finishing with the highest possible scored in jumping (a 10.0 twice!). Cola confirmed his exceptional quality at shows by winning several elementary (L) and medium (M) level tests for young show jumpers. At the Bundeschampionat for show jumpers in Warendorf in 2006 he won a qualifier with an 8.8 and again qualified for the Bundeschampionat in 2007. In the following years he and Jan Sprehe were highly placed in international advanced (S**) level show jumping classes.
In 2006, Cola was awarded the I-c main premium in Vechta for the quality of his first crop of foals, many of which were awarded a premium. His eldest offspring are successful in youngster sport and many have won tests for young show jumpers. In 2008 and 2009, several of Cola's daughters received a State Premium (e.g. Ria Cola, the best Oldenburg Verband jumper mare at the Elite Broodmare Show in Rastede) and his first son was licensed in Munich in 2009 named Cosil. His son Cola-Zero became the 2nd Reserve Champion of the OS licensing in Vechta in 2010 the best jumper stallion at his aptitude test in 2011! In the 2011 German FN's predicted breeding value statistics, Cola ranks among the top five percent of all jumper-makers.
His sire, the extraordinary Contender, 1987 stallion performance test winner in Adelheidsdorf, bred in Oldenburg first. Here he left behind treasures such as Caius, Calvador, Cashman, Continue, Condor M, Contango before continuing his career in Holstein where he sired further sons that were licensed such as Camiros, Concerto I and II, Contendro I and II, Conteur, Colander N, Cafe au lait and Cubito. All in all, there are meanwhile more than 100 licensed sons all over the world.
Licensed for Oldenburg, OS-International, Westphalia, Rhineland as well as all Southern German and new German State Verbands.
