Con Capilot is the refined product of the proven and superior jumping bloodlines of Contender, Capitol I and Pilot. This brilliant stallion has impeccable conformation, perfect jumping technique, and eye-catching movement.
He is supple, powerful and incredibly athletic. He is also well mannered and has a wonderful temperament. He is ridden and trained inside and outside with geldings and mares and is always focused and business-like.
His character is exceptional. Con Capilot had the highest score for jumping in his Stallion Performance Test and performed exceptionally well in all other areas, finishing an outstanding second overall.
Con Capilot performed brilliantly already in the Young Jumper classes in Wellington, FL. in 2008, winning or placing in nearly every start.
He is currently showing and winning Grand Prix with Mandy Porter, who says about him: “He just turned 10 and he is really coming into his own. He is super careful, so I know I can push him to be quick. Every time I challenge him he tries really hard to answer the question and answer correctly.”
Con Capilot is a real eye-catcher, because of his presence, his looks and how he jumps.
Foals are all outstanding in type and conformation and, of course, temperament. They are athletic, typey and most have flashy white markings.
Con Capilot had top placings as a 4, 5, and 6 year old in the Young Jumper Classes at High Prairie Farm (CO) and Wellington (FL). In 2010, Mandy Porter took over the ride and Con Capilot had consistent top placings in the 1.40 classes and 7 and 8 year old classes at Thermal, Sacramento Golden State, Pickwick Summer Classic (Sacramento), HMI Sonoma Classic (1.50 meter) and Thunderbird Show Pack (BC) where he was first. Con Capilot’s Grand Prix placings at HMI Sonoma and Giant Steps Charity (Sonoma) 2012 saw many top placing at Thermal (CA), Sacramento (CA), Thunderbird (BC), 2nd at the Maui Jim Open Classic (BC), and ending the 2012 show season with his first FEI World Cup Qualifier class in Las Vegas.
Dam: Divine diva
Divine Diva d'Eleganza is an attractive mare with a calm and brave personnaility. Uphill with long stride in trot and canter, she is well developed with good topline. Beautifull and feminine, she carries many qualities of her sire, Diarado. Divine Diva comes from a solid reconised thoroughbred damline, the line tb-9-b.
Dam's sire, Diarado, Holstein licensing winner, stallion performance test record winner, German championship bronze medallist (with two marks of 9.0) and successful in 1.45m show jumping competitions. His description by breed director Dr.Nissen reads as follows: “The champion stallion oozes incredible charisma and epitomizes modern sport horse type. His magnificent type goes along with a good topline, a strong back and four perfectly correct legs. His basic paces improved from fairly good walk to good trot, crowned by a perfect canter. But his presentation reached fever pitch in the free jumping phase where he demonstrated perfect judgement from the very first approach, jumping with a flexible body, excellent leg technique and unbelievable scope, all of which earned him a 10.0.”
