Con Air
Origin: His sire Contender began his siring career in Oldenburg and left absolutely top quality sports horses and outstanding stallion sons such as for instance, Controe and Montender there, just as he later did in his Holstein home. The dam Fair Lady IX is a daughter of Carolus I. Carolus I began his stallion career as an Association stallion in Holstein before changing over to Baden-Wiirttemberg from where, he was quickly led to international wins and placements by the Swiss Nation's Cup rider Stefan Lauber and later by Hans-Peter Konle. In 1995 and 1996, Carolus I presented a large line-up of qualifiers for the Federal Championships, including a number of finalists such as Carmen, the winner of the semi-finals, who achieved the score of 9.5. Carolus belongs to the leading Holstein stallions nation-wide as regards his FN breeding value rating for jumping. Landgraf I, the most successful sire of sports horses of all time, makes an appearance in the third generation. Bloodline 2966 also produced the approved stallions Carlsson (private stallion Holstein) and Expose (leased stallion Neustadt/Dosse state stud).

Calypso I
Origin: Calypso I’s sire the French stallion Cor de la Bryere became a foundation sire of modem Holstein breeding: Among his progeny there are successful stallions such as Calando I, Caletto I and Caletto II, Calypso I-V, Corvado, Cantares and Cinzano and top-class mares (e.g. Cordeka, Chanel) and above all versatile performance horses, e.g. Chica W, Calando PS (showjumping), Cor de Calypso, Contrast (eventing), Corlandus (dressage). Calypso's dam also produced the approved stallions Calypso Il-V who are all top sires - or at least they are going to be top sires. Calypso II and III are winners of advanced showjumping competitions. Their brother Cor de Calypso, who was not approved, became a successful eventing horse. Via Tabelle's full-sister Salmei the granddam Hyazinthe is also granddam to the exceptional dressage horse Granat (Chr. Stuckelberger, Switzerland). Her great-grandson Calgary won the National Eventing Horse Championships in Verden in 1990 (H. Blbcker).
Breeding record: Calypso I sired 13 approved stallions by 1990. Carprilli and mainly Columbus have already been very successful at stud. Among his 47 state premium mares the most outstanding mare is Zinnia: winner of the Holstein Championships of Materialpferde, champion mare of the 1988 elite-mare show in Elmshom, winner of her class at the German Show in Verden in 1990. His most successful competition horses at the moment are: Cabinett 3 (showjumping, D. Schroder, winnings about DM 100,000, i.a. placed in the German Showjumping Derby) and Commodore 7 (dressage, W. Aigner, winnings over DM 75,000, many times successfully competing in Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special).

Furioso's Son
Furioso Son was a foundation sire in Hessen. Furioso 11 influenced world wide breeding specially through his sons Voltaire and For Pleasure in show jumping and his descendents Florestan (Wesfalia) and Jazz (Netherlands) two top dressage horse sires.
Approved sons: Farewell, Forlani, Furioso's Korn. Furioso’s Sohn, who was vigorous up to a ripe old age, reached the age of 30 years. He was one of the best of more than fifty approved sons of Furioso II. The dam Dulcia was a daughter of the hereditary transmitter Dulder, who appears in many good bloodlines. The earlier generations include the stallions Amselkonig II and Dohna I. Furioso's Sohn derives from the dam line of Ahrluft (by Alltag I - SportgruB - Schwabenkonig I - Angeli - Aland- Anselm- Schlucker- Alhambra- Stonewall Jackson xx), whose origins lie in the Land Wursten region. This bloodline also produced the stallions Flair (private stallion Hanover), Furst von Feuer ( USA), Landclassicer, Larioso (private stallion Bavaria) and Mars (Zweibriicken state stallion). Rolf Meuser fetched the large wiry chestnut Furioso's Sohn from the 1972 Oldenburg approval into to Hessia, from where he was strongly utilised for breeding right from the start. He repaid the trust and confidence of the breeders with a large number of high performance competition sports horses for the very highest requirements, including inter alia, Furstin 107/Norbert Koof, Feuerrubin/Dirk Cettelgerdes and Furiosa/Jiirgen Koschel. The presentation of approved sons did not prove that simple, due to the non-uniform Hessian mare base that was led to him. His sire Furioso II had already transmitted himself best with thoroughbred or blood impressed mares and these were even less available to Furioso's Sohn in Hessia than had been the case for his sire Furioso II in Oldenburg. He was therefore not infrequently confronted by sheer impossible tasks as concerns the transmission of type and just managed to present three approved sons. In sport, he was often applied in show jumping competitions up to advanced class and was a horse of extra-ordinary strong character. He knew the territory around his home of long standing, the erstwhile de mesne Georgenhof in Diemelstadt-Rhoden inside out. Even at quite an advanced age, Furioso's Sohn still delighted in jumping over fences and ditches and during his forays covered the one or the other mare, but always returned to the Georgenhof stud farm, where he had full freedom of movement. This stallion which had attained such immense importance for Hessia as a sire, spent his last weeks and months in the Weserbergland region, where he expired at the age of thirty years in 2000. He is on t he same par with Lotse as regards Hessian warm blood breeding.
Furioso II
The Anglo-Norman Furioso II left his imprint on nigh to every German and European horse breed. Furioso II must from today's perspective, be seen as an upgrader and foundation stallion above all, in the Oldenburg breed. His tally of successes includes more than fifty approved sons and countless performance horses. Furioso II was a multiple winnings sum millionaire whose progeny were accomplished in all disciplines. His son Fidelio became a strong transmitter of his sire's genotype in North-Rhine Westphalia via his own stallion sons Florestan I and II.
