Who are some jumper stallions with incrediably high bonit scores?

I think Ariadus had really high scores and it is said he throws very correct legs, etc. http://www.foxfirefarm.us/pages/foxfire_stallions/ariadus.html

(That is about the extent of my very limited knowledge base-so I will be very interested to learn about other stallions myself ;-)
(I also think the stallion directory lists scores on each stallions page if available--a bit more work--the directory can be accessed from here http://www.holsteiner.com/index.htm)

Hilltop's Riverman is advertized at the highest bonitted Holsteiner stallion in North America.

I also believe Cicera's Icewater is one of the highest in NA.

Going just from memory but isn't it the hind leg score that is often lower for some reason?

Perhaps slightly more sickle hocked than is textbook?

I'd like to see a stallion with a really high score for the hind legs.

Oakstable, the following stallions got 8s on their hind legs : Ariadus, Cubito, Lintas, and Quinar

Raffey1, Thanks.

What does bonit mean? I'm guessing conformation? Sorry.

Bonits are points given for individual conformation and movement scores.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Cubito and he is absolutely stunning.
In fact a friend of mine is riding him now and she says he is amazing.
More pics and info of him can be seen at

Im considering breeding my Holsteiner mare to him this season.
Hooray!:D

I'd like to see conformation photos showing an 8 hind leg vs. a 6.
