The show jumping stallion Conthargos had to be put down at the age of 19 due to a sudden onset of laminitis, which unfortunately could not be treated by the vets who were called in immediately.
The Converter son, who was stabled at the stallion station of his breeder Paul Schockemöhle in Mühlen all his life, made a splendid impression with his Olympic numerous offspring that have been successful in show jumping all over the world. They include Conchento PS, who placed in the Grand Prix of St. Tropez, London, Geneva, Valence and Vilamoura under Gregory Wathelet (BEL) and Luciana Diniz (POR); Concona, who placed sixth in the Grand Prix of Hamburg under Ben Maher (GBR); and Cosa Nostra, who took part in the Olympic Games with Alberto Michan of Israel.
But the offspring of Conthargos are not only among the best in the show jumping ring, but also in eventing. Jadore Moi and Sophie Leube won the CCIO4* event in Boekelo, NED and came sixth at the German Eventing Championships in Luhmühlen.
