Conthargos

Born 2004 | Bay Oldenburg | Approx. 1.72m

Conthargos was a bay Oldenburg stallion bred at Gestüt Lewitz and is widely regarded as one of the most influential showjumping sires of the modern era. Although his own sport career was limited by injury, his exceptional talent and genetic power quickly established him as a cornerstone of international 1.60m breeding. By 2026, Conthargos is universally recognized as a foundational sire whose influence is deeply embedded in contemporary warmblood pedigrees.

Sport & Performance

Conthargos made an immediate impression as a young horse. At just four years old, he won the Dobrock Deister Championship with an exceptional score of 9.5 and qualified for the Bundeschampionat, demonstrating extraordinary scope, elasticity, and natural carefulness. Although his competitive career was curtailed early, his jumping intelligence, lightning-fast reflexes, and powerful hind-leg mechanics were unmistakable—traits that would later define his offspring. His true legacy has been written not through his own results, but through his progeny, who consistently perform and win at CSI4* and CSI5* Grand Prix level worldwide.
