Rare is a stallion that produces for both dressage and jumping. Grand Champion of the 2010 German FN authorized North American 70 day Stallion Test, Contiano scored 129.88 including perfect "10"s for character and work ethic, 9.5's in jumping, and no gaits lower than 8.5. He finished #1 the dressage section with an overall score of over 126 and was praised especially his trot and canter work. In 2011, he finished in the top five of the Western Division Young Jumper Championship Finals at Del Mar and in 2012 won several 6 yr qualifier classes while breeding permitted. 

Contiano BF combines the powerful jumping and dressage lines of Contender, Landino, Pilot, and Der Clou. Sire Contefino received a perfect 10 in jumping at his licensing, ranked #1 (54 bonits) and stood at the famous Stall Hell in Holstein. Contiano's mother, the elite Westfalian mare Lucille descends directly from two states premium decendents of the great Hanoverian dressage producer Der Clou and offers both Landino and Pilot on her top line. 

This young stallion's exceptionally calm and intelligent manner, lovely expressive gaits, and explosive jump make him ideal all around stallion for anyone looking to improve their mare with a foal they can raise up and ride themselves at the highest levels in sport. OCD free. Excellent fertility fresh/frozen. Contiano’s first two foal crops produced three designated stallion prospects and a GOV Foal of Distinction who sold for $35,000.
