Quicksilber

World Young Horse Champion

Breeding

Quattro is a son of the Selle Francais stallion Qredo de Paulstra, winner of the Grand Prix of Bordeaux. Qredo is sired by the legendary Galoubet, which two times won World Cup Qualifiers and produced international jumpers such as Quick Star and Quatoubet de Rouet. Grandfather Almé is even more famous with his offspring Jalisco B. and I Love You. At the other side of Qredo we find Furioso xx; father of Lutteur (Gold Medallist Tokio) and Le Tyroll; father of Rocket of Janou Lefebvre. Quattro himself is out of the famous line of Kermesse. Quattro himself was 2nd in the Performance Test at Medingen with a high score of 130 pnts. And in 1994 he was Reserve Champion of the Oldenburg Körung, based on his performance test and his first offspring. Quattro jumped very well in 1996 with his rider Gilbert Böckmann and they won more than 20 1.30 courses through the summer. Meanwhile Quattro jumps at the international circuit successfully, including second in the Grand Prix of Emsbüren, Kiel and Bremen. He was also succesfull in Caen, Leeuwarden, Berlin, Munich and Geneva. His first offspring show spectacular gaits but they also inherited Quattro's beautiful type and free jump very well. Since 1997 Quattro has more than 10 approved sons; Quando Quando, Quantes, Quatier Latin, Quell Charmeur, etc. Quattro's offspring Quando Quando, Much Ado and Quantum Tyme are famous in Grand Prix dressage. Quattro remarkably had two children qualified for the Olympics in Athens 2004; Quando Quando for dressage and Oliver Q for jumping! Suzie Quattro with Luciana Diniz and Quanta Costa from Rolf-Göran Bengtsson have also both jumped succesfully in 2005. His Rhineland bred dam’s sire Restorator, who is well remembered as an international show jumper ridden by Rico Lorengel and Siegmar Stroehmer, was in his time the largest advertising medium for the County Stud Neustadt an der Dosse

Performance

The stunning Quattro B son “Quicksilber” performs to convincingly high standards: 2nd Reserve champion at the Brandenburger Approvals, winner of his 30 day test, many many wins in jumping competitions and successful finalist at the German Young Horse Championships in Warendorf. He could only top off these results by winning the Young Horse World Championships in Lanaken, Belgium. Which he did! With clear rounds in all the qualifications and in the final, he was deservedly rewarded with the World Championship title.
