\"Quite<\/a><\/p>\n

1999 167 cm Grey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breeder: Harm Thorm\u00e4hlen<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a real Franco \/ German accord, the best of the French, Quidam de Revel over the full-sister to one of the all time great German jumping sires, Capitol.<\/p>\n

Quite Capitol\u2019s dam, U-Capitola is also the dam of the licensed stallions, Cevin, Landcapitol and Lord Capitol, as well as the mare, Birte II (by Landgraf) who is the dam of Quite Easy I & II.<\/p>\n

Harm Th\u00f6rmahlen told me why he thinks the cross works:<\/p>\n

\u201cQuidam has quite a lot of blood, but they are hard hard fighters \u2013 sometimes fighting against the rider! Capitol needs blood, so Quidam makes a good mix. We have the problem to find good Thoroughbreds, that\u2019s the problem all over the world for jumping breeders. So it is easier to try with Quidam \u2013 he had good results in the sport himself and he breeds good horses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur task is to make modern horses for the sport for the next ten, twenty years. We must think about it because what we do now, the result will be the horses that go in the sport in ten years time, even twenty years. For modern sport we need horses that are clever enough, with blood enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quite Capitol was the Reserve Champion of the Holsteiner Licensing in 2001. In his performance test at Adelheidsdorf, he scored well in jumping, and qualified for the 2004 Bundeschampionate, where, ridden by Torben K\u00f6hlbrandt, he won both qualifiers, before finishing 8th<\/sup> in the final. The next year he did the same \u2013 winning both qualifiers before coming 6th<\/sup> in the final. As a 7 year old, he was successful on the International Young Horse Tour, and finished 34th<\/sup> in the 7 Year old World Young Horse championships at Lanaken.<\/p>\n

He was then campaigned for three seasons, with three riders, mainly placing in 1.30 \/ 1.40 classes. He had a Grand Prix placing with each of them. At Manerbio with Ulrich Kirchhoff, he placed 45th<\/sup>, at Neum\u00fcnster with Torben Koehbrandt, he was 26th<\/sup>, and in his final year, 2009, 62nd<\/sup> at Cervia with Jerry Smit. His best result in that final season was a 4th<\/sup> in a Top Score at Vidauban.<\/p>\n

He has bred a number of Premium foals \u2013 including a daughter from his first crop who went on to be the winning mare in the district of Dithmarschen in 2006. In 2007, his son, Question d\u2019Honneur was licensed in Munich-Riem, and later auctioned for the top price of \u20ac155,000. The horse competed in a couple of Young Horse classes in 2011 with Helmut Schoensteller at Munich Riem and Stadl Pura and then seems to have disappeared. He has produced another licensed son, Quite Calido.<\/p>\n

Quite Capitol has produced a number of young horse placegetters, but so far, nothing that has looked serious in Grand Prix ranks. Perhaps his best so far has been Quite Zero (Landgraf) who won a 1.40 class with Thomas Ryan at Ranshofen two star.<\/p>\n
