Comments: Clair de Lune is a young stallion with a pedigree that includes some
of the best show jumping bloodlines in the world. He has top sires
in the first 3 generations, on both dam and sire side. His sire
CONTENDOR, 1/2 brother to the #1 sire of Holstein, CONTENDER,
competed internationally in many prestigious competitions. He
consistently places and won top 10 in many Grand Prix such as
G/P of Indio, Weisbaden Audi International, $50,000 CSIO
International, $75,000 HBO GP of Delmar, LA International World
Cup Qualifier with Hugh Mutch aboard. He ranked 6th on the USET
West Coast World Cup Qualifying list in 2003. Calypso II- the sire
of Contendor, was himself an international showjumper ridden by
M. Ruping. He was later retired to stud and became an outstanding
progenitor siring many famous show jumpers including Contender
and Coriolan. Cor de la Bryere is the foundation sire of Holstein
and sire of dozens of famous international superstars. Graphit is
the sire of Contendor's dam Grille, who produced Grannus (sire of
Olympian Top Gun, Grannus Grannit, Graf Grannus, etc. a total of
7 olympic horses!). Contendor's full brother Monty Morelos,
competed in the 2000 Olympics with the Mexican team! On the
dam's side, Clair's mother L'Vienna, a Hanoverian Grand Prix
showjumper, became a broodmare due to a irreversible injury that
ended her showjumping career. L'Vienna descends from Alme Z,
who has sired numerous international showjumpers, including
Quicksilver and Galoubet A. who is the sire of Rodrigo Pessoa's
famous olympic mount, Baloubet de Rouet.
Claire's first year in the show ring has been stellar, with 3 YEH
wins,along w/ the 5 yo YEH West Coast Finals win, and landing a
corporate sponsor!
Claire has become one of the hottest young stallions in the US
today!! Can be bred for dressage, jumpers, hunters, or eventing,
