Contender-Sandro-Cor de la Bryere 2005 16.2h Brown KWPN Warmblood Stallion

Chello III is a beautiful and correct stallion with three good gaits and a good jumping technique. He is a good jumper that also has good gaits which is a combination that is not that easy to find anymore. Father Contender is a living legend in the sport horse breeding for jumping and dressage and is sire to horses like Checkmate and Montender. Grandsire Sandro, a son of Sandro Song xx, jumped just like lots of his offspring at the highest level. In the third and fourth generation we find the famous stallions Cor de la Bryere and G.Ramiro Z, both have been very important for the modern sporthorsebreeding all over the world. 
The motherline of Chello III is the well known Holsteiner Stam 318D2. This line produced a lot of International jumpers and approved stallions, such as Corofino I and II, Coriano, Crawford and Diarado. Chello III’s great grand dam Golda is the mare this line of breeding is based on. 
In a short time, Chello III’s full brothers Chello I and Chello II have proven in breeding that they produce jumpers with a lot of potential. 
Chello III received a very nice Stallion performance test report. He scored the following notes: Walk 7.5, trot 8, canter 8, balance and reflexes 8, technique 8.5, scope 8, ride ability and work ethic 8, potential as jumper 8. 

In the stallion competition Chello III performs well, he has a good rideability and shows a good technique for jumping. 
His first foals are foals with a lot of blood and expression, with 3 good gaits. He received a promising foal report from the KWPN Inspection. His daughter Emmie placed 2nd in the Foal Championship at the Foalshow of Schildwolde. 
Expected breeding value: 132.
