Senator
A handsome stallion and although he was only medium sized, his appearance was one of generous proportions, with correct conformation, ample neck and shoulders, good hooves and excellent motion. In short, Senator was a handsome stallion of such excellent type seldom seen in the mid 50's.
He
produced 40 approved sons, mostly show jumpers. Senator‘s most significant stallion sons were undoubtedly Sender, Sesam 1 and with a few reservations, perhaps Senat. |

| Semper Idem
The Trakehner stallion Semper Idem came to Germany after World War II. and produced the famous Senator (1954-1973), a remarkable stallion who gave his name to the line.
This horse redefined the meaning of "athletic show jumper", even to this day: his descendant Stakkato stands at stud in Celle in 2006.
From his first foal crop, only seven colts were born, six of whom became licensed stallions! Five of these stallions ent to Celle and one to Warendorf. Semper Idem was best known for producing jumping offspring, and founded a breeding line that is one of today’s hottest tickets in showjumping. |

Another Don Carlos son is Don Juan, standing since 1979. who produces consistently good jumping horses. Another promising Don Carlos son is Drosselklang II, a good jumper.

Furioso II
Out of Dame de Renville, who produced a series of wonderful horses when mated with Furioso. Furioso II was interesting to the Oldenburg breeders as they needed a half-blood stallion to help make the transformation of their mares to more modern lines, without too much direct Thoroughbred blood.
Furioso II was approved for the Oldenburg stud-book in 1967, and then went on to easily win his 100 day test. Later he was approved for Hannover, Rhineland, Hessen and Westfalia. For many years, Furioso II was ranked in the top three sires of leading money winners in Germany. Furioso II had winners in all disciplines. His showjumping stars included: FBI, Heissman, and For Pleasure.
Perhaps Furioso II’s most influential son is Voltaire - out of a mare by another classic sire of jumping horses, Gotthard. The Oldenburg stallion Welt As is out of a Furioso II daughter, and is the sire of Anky’s gold medallist Bonfire and Christine Stückelberger’s Grand Prix horse, STC Diamond. |

Furioso
This Thoroughbred stallion was one of the most influential sires in modern performance horse history. The authoritative De L’etalon Sport Français of 1992, remarked: ‘he had good bone, and walked liked a Lord, with a magnificent pace, very energetic and showing a great deal of amplitude, his tail swinging at each step. His trot and gallop were good but not exceptional. Though full of life he was docile and had a good temperament.’
Furioso xx was the leading sire of winners in France from 1954-1961. The Germans rushed to get their share of Furioso blood. Perhaps the most influential was Furioso II having sired 81 approved sons, 96 dams of approved sons, and progeny earnings of DM9,000,000. |
