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: Floristern FMB
Floristern FMB is a 2006 Premium and Champion Oldenburg mare by Flower King D out of Marquesse (Roemer / Condus). At the age of four, even though she was not completely mature at the time, Floristern received the highest score in Canada out of all the mares inspected that year, and she is still one of the top mares with her impressive 109pts. Floristern possesses an excellent pedigree with Feinbrand, Feiner Stern, Rosenkavalier, Roemer, and Condus standing behind her.
Calm, friendly, very intelligent, this mare is a super mamma. In new situation, she follows us without hesitation with confidence. She comes from the damline O132A, a family of many upper level performance horses, such as S level dressage horses Akelei, Alarm, Agatho, Antares; M level dressage horses Antoine, Askan, Amor; 1.30m show jumpers Alexis, Anjou, Humbat.

Her sire, Flower King D, was an imported stallion owned and rided by Lyne Joly.
Floristern’s dam sire, Roemer, holds a legendary international record as a breeding stallion. This 17-hand Preferent Dutch Warmblood, 1975-1996, was the top producer of dressage horses in Holland for over seven years. He was the leading sire in the USDF Horse of the Year standings over an eleven year period. His talented offspring have competed successfully in dressage through the Grand Prix Level. Roemer stood at Iron Spring Farms.
Floristern’s great grand-sire, Condus, is noted in the German Trakehner Stallion Book to be well-proportioned with long lines; pleasing head, neck and shoulder, good saddle position; long, somewhat sloped pelvis, medium strong foundation; impulsive trot; proud bearing in all movements. The quite popular stallion has produced a number of very good daughters; of medium size, they have sufficient substance and good faces, advantageously shaped necks, swinging backs and a pleasant way of going in all phases of movement; it must also be emphasized that they are good keepers and utilize their feed well.
Condus was approved at Neumünster in of October of 1966 after which he stood at Gestüt Pütter, FRG until 1974. He continued his stud duties in Germany until 1980 for C. Heuckeroth. In February of 1981 he was imported by Harry Zimmermann and stood for a year at his Ontario farm. From 1982 until his death he stood at Zeitgeist Trakehner Farm in PA. In the years 1980 & 1981 he was rated the #1 sire of money winning dressage horses within the Trakehner breed in Germany.
