Cador

Cador (2005–2025) was a magnificent bay Oldenburg stallion standing at 1.75m. A centerpiece of the world-renowned Gerd Sosath stallion station in Lemwerder, Germany, he was one of the most successful international jumping sires of his era.

• Bundeschampionat & Deister-Cup: As a youngster, he was a serial winner, qualifying for the Bundeschampionat with scores up to 9.0 and winning the prestigious Deister-Cup for 4-year-olds.

• 1.55m Grand Prix Veteran: Under the saddle of Hendrik Sosath, Cador achieved over 40 placings in advanced (S) level competitions, including the Grand Prix of Oldenburg and various CSI3* and CSI4* events.

• 2015 Stallion of the Year: He was famously crowned the "Oldenburg VTV Stallion of the Year" in 2015, a testament to his dual success in both sport and breeding.

• Final Honors: In June 2025, just months before his death, he received the highest honor from the Oldenburg Verband, being officially named an Elite Stallion for his lifetime contribution to the breed.
