movement and floating paces to die for. He already has the
"wow" factor! He won his his first ever show at Malvern 3
Counties Showground in Sep 09. The judge
described him as having "absolutely fantastic movement". Will reach the top in any sphere.
At the recent BEF Futurity Evaluations he was awarded a 'Higher First' Premium
scoring 8.86 overall with 9s for his trot, canter and build for
eventing and 8.5 for athleticism. He has subsequently gone on
to win the BEF Futurity Eventing Championships at Osberton, scoring
high marks for his paces, conformation, disposition and overall
impression.

Solitair is a jumping talent with super movement and a very appealing
conformation to boot. At his performance test in Ermelo he received an
8.5 for his canter and for walk, trot and talent, all 8’s.
In
his show-jumping career Solitair had numerous wins and placings
including the Qualification for the Damhus Cup for 6 year-olds (with a
score of 8.4 for style, technique and scope), the 6- year old class at the national show-jumping show in Vreden/GER
(8.8), the M-class at Zuidbroek in 2006 as the only combination to
go clear.
Solitair's sire, Voltaire jumped internationally under Jos Lansink and
Emile Hendrix. Voltaire, is one of the most influential show jumping
sires of the present day, and is the result of crossing two outstanding
bloodlines: Furioso II and Gotthard. Furioso II produced over 200 state
premium mares and at least 70 approved stallions of which several are
standing at stud in other continents.
Solitair's dam, the keur mare Nigrante is a daughter of the legendary Holsteiner stallion
Libero H (Landgraf I). With Jos Lansink, Libero H
won an very impressive series of World Cup competitions and Grand Prix,
highlight being the victory in the 1994 World Cup finals at
's-Hertogenbosch.

His dam, Whatacarryon was briefly raced but was retired to stud where she
bred a number of foals although these have not been registered.
Since joining the stud in 2006, she has produced 2 lovely foals,
both with her kind and relaxed nature and straight floating
movement.
His dam's sire, Strong Gale
was a consistent
winner on the track including 1st Grosser Preis von Dortmund (GER-G3)
1800m; 2nd Grosser Hansa-Preis (GER-G2) 2200m amassing career earnings
of over $4,000. He is well known as a broodmare sire and his siblings have also enjoyed success on the track both
on the flat and NH. He is also the sire of several winning progeny
including Andrew Hoy's 4* eventer Moon Fleet and Matthew Wright's
Intermediate eventer Singalong.
