Leonidas

I've known him as a dressage producer but I have also noticed some hunters that are by him. Are his babies usually quiet with a good temperment? Does he pass on hunter movement? (yes, I know he is deceased so not to many babies left out there.)

Leonidas is retired from breeding, but last I heard he was enjoying his retirement in sunny California.

He's not dead, just resting.

The ones I have seen (a massive sample of two) don't/didn't strike me as hunters. One is a pure Trakehner and the other an Oldenburg. Both were/are dressage oriented, but I have to say the Oldenburg can jump pretty impressively, both have more front end than I believe hunter people desire. I wouldn't describe either of them as quiet, but both are pleasant to deal with.

All I know is that he happens to be named after the ultimate choclate in the entire world.

OT? Just a bit. Sorry :D
Carry on...

Interesting. Thanks for the info. The reason I thought he was deceased was because thats what it said next to his name on a website I found. I thought I was the ATA website, but it must not have been. Sorry for the mis-information.

LOL!!! I think that's just happenstance and more likely Leonidas, King of Sparta. :D

As to Leo babies, I had a filly who was very sweet and easy to have around. She would have made a fabulous upper level dressage horse, but the Condus line produces nice jumpers and my understanding is she was sold as a hunter by the person I sold her to who had trained her over fences.

I sold a few to Hunter people by Leonidas*PG* and they were soo impressed with them,excellent temperament ,they came back .The ones I've bred and sold were calm and the hunter people loved them.My mares thow have jumpers in their pedigrees.

I wonder if they kept frozen on him?

I love Ramzes and I believe Condus was one of his last approved sons. I have a daughter of Werigo (Ramzes grandson through Rigoletto) that I always wanted to breed to Leo...

Anybody know?

I beleive he still has EU frozen, but not certain there's anymore in the U.S. Hilda would be the one who could confirm that.

As far as I know, Condus was the last approved Ramzes AA son and Leo was the last Condus son. There are 2 approved Ramzes AA great-grandsons remaining in the TK breed: Prelude by Mozart (ex. Pandorie by Condus) and Tzigane *Pb* (out of Tekoa by Condus). Prelude is available fresh cooled; Tzigane has been leased to Germany so only available frozen. Both are committed to the ATA Stallion Service Auction for 2010.
