Kantje's Ronaldo
Watershof Pretendent x Wiske Barbara
Details:
**The Quidam de Revel of ponies**
In 2007 Kantje's Ronaldo was proclaimed Best New Forest Pony Stallion of the past 50 years in The Netherlands
Kantje's Ronaldo SL has an impressive engine, is harmonious with a good strong shoulder, well coupled, with a lovely eye and straight limbs. He is best suited to supple mares with good legs, but he produces sport pony winners without fail, no matter what the type of broodmare. His fertility via artificial insemination with frozen semen is exceptional.
Kantje’s Ronaldo SL very unfortunately had to be castrated in August 2007 due to a serious infection: don’t delay and make the most of the remaining straws.

Biography:
• Ronaldo was approved in his home country as a 3-year-old. He won the 50-day performance tests at the same age, standing out in particular for his jumping ability (9/10 ridden and loose jumping) and his excellent character (9/10).
• At the age of 7 he jumped at the highest level in the Netherlands (1m15/1m25). He jumped in a spectacular fashion, leaving lots of room over his fences and proving that he had enormous ability. Unable to find a suitable rider, he did not carry on to a higher level.
• At the breed Nationals he practically always won his age class amongst the stallions and in 1996 was crowned supreme stallion champion, vice-champion in 1998 and champion once again in 1999. At the time of his last presentation at the breed Nationals he had officially been awarded everything that it is possible to win throughout his life and yet he was only 12 years old! These accolades are: KEUR (based on the quality of the conformation and the paces of his offspring), PRESTATIE DEKHENGS (based on his own sporting results), PREFERENT (based on the excellent results of his offspring in breeding competitions) and PRESTATIE FOKHENGST (based on the sporting results of his offspring). To obtain this last and exceptional award a stallion must have produced ten offspring who are placed in show jumping, dressage or eventing in M or Z classes.
In 2007 he won the prize for the "Best New Forest Stallion in the Netherlands for the last 50 years"

Kantje's Ronaldo
Sire InfoHis sire, Watershof Pretendent, was born in 1982 in the Netherlands, he was a winner of performance tests at 4-years-old, and from then on always came in the top places at the stallion championships. He will have stood in Belgium, in the Netherlands and in France. Many of his daughters have shone in breeding competitions and four of his sons have been approved as stallions. A great jumper himself, Pretendent has produced some excellent sport ponies, such as the international M.V. Augusta and Golden Valley (for Holland), Kantje’s Norman and Franklin (for Belgium), Unicom (for Italy) and Jolly Sting. But his two most famous offspring are, in breeding, the European star Kantje’s Ronaldo; and, in sport, the crack Mister Amontilano (formerly Léon, then Reach Léon), crowned individual European vice-champion and team European Champion in 2003 and double European champion in 2004 – in both the individuals and by team. Watershof Pretendent is therefore one of the only approved pony stallions – along with the Connemara Atlantic Sentinel (Shipton Eblana in 1988) and Carregcoch Bleddyn (Machno Carwyn in 2000 and 2001) to have produced a European individual show jumping champion. This therefore makes his son Mister Amontilano (from a New Forest dam) – together with the Welsh Cob Machno Carwyn – the only purebred individual European Champion throughout the whole history of these championships. In France, Watershof Pretendent will have 19 offspring of which 13 are purebred, the majority of which will be rising 2 in 2009. |
Dam InfoRonaldo’s dam, Wiske Barbara, is by Merrie Moscan. Born in 1969, he was one of the greatest stallions imported from England and was a precious addition to the Dutch studbook. Holding two 9/10’s for jumping in performance tests, stallion champion in 1975 and 1976, he covered more than 800 broodmares, produced more than ten stallions and numerous approved mares. He is still covering at the age of 34! Unfortunately Wiske Barbara only produced one full brother to Ronaldo, lost in the countryside and who then died young. |
