Condios
News Update
Condios (Coriano x Landgraf I), the 7-year-old Holsteiner stallion
owned by Morningside Stud, has been approved as a sire by the Australian
Warmblood Horse
Association (AWHA) and the New Zealand Warmblood Horse Breeders Association.
The AWHA is a full member of the World Breeding Federation for Sport
Horses. Condios (Coriano x Landgraf I) is now approved by seven studbooks
in six countries.
The
Showjumping Association of Ireland (SJAI) reports that, as of 2
August 2002, Condios has 305 SJAI points. With 201 points required
for Grade A status, Condios is one of the youngest Irish-owned horses
ever to reach Grade A in Ireland and the youngest to achieve Grade
A International status in two countries (Ireland and Denmark).
On
August 1 - 4 at the CSIO-Denmark, Condios placed in three international
classes. He placed 9th (out of 56 starters) in a 1.40 m. class;
5th (out of 39 starters)
in a second 1.40 m. class; and 8th (out of 47 starters) in a 1.45
m. class. All three placings earned prize money. Riders in these
international classes came from
Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland,
Great Britain, and Italy and included foreign stars such as Beat
Mandli, Willi Melliger,
Markus Fuchs, Di Lampard, and Peter Eriksson.
Beginning 5 August 2002, Condios will go into quarantine until the
end of the year to freeze semen for export to Australia, New Zealand,
the USA, Canada,
and the European Union. In 2003, as an 8-year-old, Condios will
compete in 1.40 m., 1.50 m., 1.60 m., and Grand Prix classes throughout
Europe. The Danish Federation plans to name Condios to some Nation's
Cup teams.
