Solitair is an excellent stallion showing talent for both jumping
and dressage making him ideal for the eventer .He has super
movements and a very appealing conformation. At his performance test
in Ermelo he received an 8.5 for his canter and for walk, trot and
talent, three 8.0’s. His sire Voltaire (Furioso II) jumped
internationally at the highest level with Jos Lansink and Emile
Hendrix. In addition, Voltaire, who has more than thirty registered
products in the Breeding Guide for international showjumping horses,
belongs among the best progenitors in the world. Solitair was bred
out of Nigrante, a beautiful daughter of the legendary Holsteiner
stallion Libero H (Landgraf I) with whom Jos Lansink won the 1994
Den Bosch World Cup finals. Of the small group of Libero H’s
offspring, a great many are very successful in international
showjumping circuits of which Iowa, Numero Uno, Luc, Liberty, Maike
and No Mercy are the best known. In his dam line Solitair carries a
large amount of blood through the influential progenitors Abgar xx
and Pericles xx. This lineage also produced several licensed
stallions as well as the Grand Prix jumper Figaro (Leslie Steele).
The offspring report that was published last year praises Solitair’s
foals for their correct exteriors their charisma, and their super
movements. Just recently Solitair won a jumping competition in
Vreden (GER) receiving the highest note of 8.8 for his technique and
overall jumping qualities.
