About Conthargos
Conthargos is a (died 2023) dark brown Oldenburger Springpferd / OS showjumping stallion foaled in 2004, by Converter 2 out of a Carthago Z dam.
Conthargos is an Oldenburger Springpferd stallion born in 2004 in Germany. This bay stallion was bred by Gestüt Lewitz and owned by Paul Schockemöhle. Despite an early end to his competitive career due to injury, he stood as a leading figure in showjumping. Conthargos demonstrated his potential by winning the Deister Championship in Dobrock in 2008 with an outstanding score of 9.5. His legacy continues through his exceptional progeny in the world of showjumping.
Conthargos proved to be an outstanding sire, with numerous offspring competing at the pinnacle of international showjumping. Among his successful progeny is Conchento PS, a participant in several prestigious Grand Prix events such as St. Tropez and Geneva. Concona, another notable offspring, secured a sixth-place finish in the Grand Prix of Hamburg under rider Ben Maher. Furthermore, Pia Contra, under Nicolas Pizarro, claimed victory in the Grand Prix of Leon, Mexico. With offspring like Continental Blue also excelling on the 1.60m stage, Conthargos' legacy endures as a prominent influence in showjumping competition.
