Pedigree
Description
Quintess possesses a pedigree that makes any breeding purist feel faint- Quidam de Revel paired with a Capitol x Sacramento Song mare from Stamm 2067 which, in the words of Barbara Sikkink, has produced their best producing mare and is a SUPER motherline, as seconded by Reece Miller.
Quintess was imported by Alex Korompis of Windsor Farm, VA for himself and competed through the 6 yr. old jumpers and schooled 1,4m before being retired as a broodmare. According to Alex, she has offspring that have competed internationally and has produced three foals that we are familiar with, two from Coconut Grove and one from As di Villagrana.
Quintess comes from a mare-line from the classic Capitol I x Sacramento Song xx cross. Her offspring have been powerful, yet cat-like with good rideability and excellent movement. Considering Quintess' height, she would breed best with a smaller stallion.

Francais Stallion
In 2004, Quidam de Revel topped the World Breeding Championships Jumping Stallion ratings for the second year running, establishing himself as the pre-eminent – and most expensive – living sire of jumping horses. With ten (!) of his progeny jumping in Jerez 2002, he was the stallion with the greatest number of progeny at the WEG.
Quidam was himself a jumping star, a member of the French Olympic Team, and fourth individually at the Barcelona Olympic Games with Hervé Godignon.
In an article in HORSE INTERNATIONAL (No 1 – 2003), Velin told the journalist, Pernille Linder Velander: “I am a Thoroughbred person. Quidam is the kind of horse that appeals to me. He is a perfect beauty. If you compare him to the legendary Northern Dancer, you could hardly tell who is who. They could be twins.”
But Mr Velin got more than a breeding stallion, he purchased the ultimate ‘school-master’ for his son, Thomas, taking him on to win such prestigious events as the Grand Prix of Hanover.
According to Thomas: “The feeling I got from Quidam has taught me what it should feel like to sit on a really good horse. If you have not had that experience, you simply cannot imagine what it can be like. When in the air, if needed, Quidam could just… like put in another gear, make another effort and jump higher still even after taking off from the ground.”
Quidam de Revel unites two of the most important lines of the Selle Français horse – the lines of Jalisco and Uriel. The Nankin son, Uriel was one of the most successful French stallions, producing more than 100 international showjumpers, which gave him a jumping index of 121, the highest recorded in France at the time. Uriel was the sire of 26 stallion sons – including Calvados who was influential in Holland, standing at the Nijhof stud.
Performers by Quidam de Revel include: Goldy, Guidam, Circa Z, Tlalloc La Silla, Nabab de Reve, Dollars Boy, Hermés St Lois, Happy Villers, Jadis de Toscane, Belsedène d’Amaury, Bamby II, Baie Mahault, Coucou des Vivreau, Demie-Lune, Darios V, Furka du Village, Huppydam des Horts, Ève des Étisses, Diabolo du Parc, Dolovia de Sapaie, Drakkar de PhaÎle, Diam de la Ressée, Daibolo du Parc, Bianca d’Amaury, Eyken des Fontenis, Electra d’Amaury, and more…

Damline Information
Capitano-Maximus-Ramzes 1975 Holsteiner Stallion
Capitol I was bought by the Holsteiner Verband, and he soon established himself as one of the great showjumping sires, represented internationally by jumpers such as Corso (ridden by the Swiss, Willi Melliger), JR Number One (exported to the United States), Caruso Rex, Calle, and most notably of recent times, Cento, a team gold medallist at the Sydney Games, and who missed out of an individual medal by just one rail!
According to Harm Thormälen, whose family bred Capitol:
“The Capitol horses have scope – scope and easy to handle. Amateurs can ride the Capitol horses. Sometimes they are not ‘blood’ enough, they need blood. In his last years Capitol was only allowed to breed to mares with Thoroughbred blood. The mare sire had to be Thoroughbred, or otherwise Cor de la Bryère – so Capitol got very good mares. It was top management by the Holsteiner Verband, with very good results in the sport. The children of Capitol have won the most money in the sport of any stallion in the world.”
In the 2007-2008 Monneron leaderboard of the top 75 jumping stallions in the world, based on the FEI results of the top 2515 jumpers, Bernard le Courtois finds four major stallion lines: Almé, Cor de la Bryère, Landgraf and Capitol I. Capitol ranks 37th with 8 winners. His best performer is the mare, Gitania – but five of his stallion sons feature in the top 75.
The Capitol son, Carthago is ranked No 2 in the world with 36 winners in 2006. Another son, Cassini I is in 4th place with 29 CSI winners, while Indoctro is 10th with 20 winners. Cento was a great member of the German jumping team but he has also been successful as a sire, coming in at 34th with 9 performers. Interestingly Cassini, Indoctro and Cento, are all out of Caletto II mares.
Capitol is in=18th place on the 2007 FN jumping rankings – behind his sons, Carthago (3rd), Indoctro & Cassini (=6th); Cento is also ranked=18th,
