A world-class horse Discover, enjoy, adopt.
Blown up during the 2014 season, the gentle Con Air still had so much to give to French breeding. He marked his production in his dress (bay with a little ball there), his model and his psyche: This ease combined with strength, this ease combined with respect for the bars, this desire to do well. Such was the future of Con Air. A stock of glitter will keep its mission going for some time to come.
Con Air, acquired at a young age by the highly astute Holstein Breeders’ Association, was soon regarded in Germany as the successor to the Contender breed leader.
With L.B. Andersen, he won the Nations Cup in Copenhagen, then was entrusted to Otto Becker for the Top Level. Together they won the Samsung Cup Final in Barcelona in 2008. 2009 and its crisis saw Con Air sold to amateur Argentine businessman José Larocca.
Con Air will take him all the way to the Final of the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, where he will complete an anthology course. His ease of use at the highest level made him one of the most esteemed horses on the planet.
Contenders are elegant and happy. They have some great champions: Checkmate (M. M. Beerbaum), Carlo (S.A. Moya), Montender (M. Kutscher)… At stud, the excellent Chellano Z, who passed away too soon, was his spearhead.
The mother of Con Air, of excellent lineage hasthree other international products in the pipeline .
BLH acquired the much-coveted Con Air at the end of 2012. The young Con Air team made its international debut. At the end of 2013, 46 were operating at this level. By the end of 2015, we had exploded with 70 CSI products.
