Description
Quintero Ask’s bloodline is an interesting blend of the stallions Quidam de Revel, Caletto II, Calando I, Farnese and Ladykiller/TB. Quintero’s sire Quantum is by Quidam de Revel, a highly successful performer himself and one of the most exceptional sport stallions in the French breeding program. His sire Jalisco, as well as his paternal 2nd sire Almé, rank among the most prominent jumper sires in France.
Quintero Ask comes from the highly respected line 569. His dam, state premium mare Ibara, is by Chamonix, a successful stallion in the USA. Ibara’s 2nd sire Calando I has a reputation for his fighting spirit and performance attitude and has proved himself on the international show jumping circuit. Considering the achievements of his offspring like Careful with Eveline Blaton, Cunjeo with Karen Cudmore, or Calaro with Andreas Ripke or Cagliostro with Niklas Arvidsson, Calando I is rated as a particularly highclass jumper sire.
Quintero Ask is the first licensed Quantum son. Big-framed with an extremely powerful back he is considered as one of the Holsteiner Verband’s most talented jumpers. The athletic stallion stands out due to the carefulness, power and overall quality of his jump.

Mares To Use With This Stallion
Heavier mares who need refinement, through to middle weight mares who lack sparkle. He is well noted for mares with weak backs, and those who are a little cold blooded. He already has fine examples from Caretino and Cento mares.
