Homozygous brown
This dark brown stallion is free of the chestnut factor. This means that he cannot give chestnut foals.

Character
Crescendo is a willing stallion who is very easy to ride. He learns very quickly because of his will to work, his flexibility and his balance.

Jumpin skills
Crescendo possesses everything that a good jumping horse must possess! Souplesse, strength, technique, caution and guts. In addition to his jumping talent, he has a beautiful exterior and nice movements, which means that he is sometimes also used as a dressage stallion.

The sire Contendro I is the promising sport and breeding stallion who won the performance tests in Adelheidsdorf in 2001. The stallion Contendro has become a household name in Germany and is labeled as a stallion maker. The nine-year-old Contendro I has already delivered around 20 approved sons. He descends from the famous stamp stallion Contender and the mare Bravo from the Holsteinerstam 104a. The breeding power of mother Bravo is further underlined by her oldest approved son Caretano Z. With Jos Lansink this prematurely deceased Caretino son at the age of 7 won the world championship for young horses in Lanaken.

On mother's side, Contendro I carries the blood of the highest-rated sport horse supplier Ramzes X four times. Jumping talent is also strongly anchored in the Contendro I family. This is confirmed by a series of international jumpers from this line, including Codex One (Christian Ahlmann), Lemur (Peter Weinberg), Fresco (Gerd Wiltfang), Freeman (Hauke Schmidt), Lorent II (Kurt Jarasinki), Nicolette (Robert Whitaker), Corlanda (Willi Melliger) Lapaz (Emile Hendrix), Athletico (Ludger Beerbaum) Corland (Wout- Jan vd Schans), Cajano (Hauke Luther), Celano (Rob Ehrens) and Athlet (Willi Mellinger).

Dam Sally is a state premium mare and jumped well by the young horses in Germany. She has already given a Hanover-approved Contendro son, so Crescendo is the second. Sally's full brother, Salisbury, is also approved for Hanover. Sire Salieri is of course known to us as the sire of Salinero (no.1 in dressage with Anky van Grunsven), but Salieri himself was an international show jumper under Holger Wulschner (earned more than 100,000 euros in Germany in 2 years), and is probably the only stallion of which two full brothers participated in two different disciplines at the Olympic Games in Athens: Salinero in dressage and Seven Up in jumping. Salieri is / was one of the few remaining representatives of the Hanoverian S-line (Salvano and Servus both go back to the well-known Senator (by Semper Idem)), now again known through Stakkato. Great-grandfather Pik Bube was also approved in BWP at the time, and is also known for producing jumpers and dressage horses.
