BLOODLINES
MFS CAYDEN HH is sired by Contender, one of the most influential stallions in modern sport horse breeding. A cornerstone of the Holsteiner Verband. Contender left a lasting mark on international show jumping and breeding across Europe.
Contender was a son of Calypso II, out of a Ramiro Z mare — blending two of the most powerful sires in jumping history. He won his 1987 Stallion Performance Test in Adelheidsdorf with a remarkable jumping index of 146.62, showcasing exceptional scope, technique, and rideability from an early age.
Throughout his career, Contender produced more than 127 approved sons and over 59 state premium mares, earning him a place among the great foundation sires. His influence spans nearly every major studbook, including Holstein, Oldenburg, Hanoverian, Westphalian, and more.
Contender offspring have excelled at the highest level of sport:
His sons and grandsons are now established sires in their own right, and his daughters are prized broodmares known for passing on athleticism, type, and character.
Contender’s breeding value for jumping remained one of the highest recorded in Holstein, with an index of 152 and 99% accuracy — confirming his consistency in producing elite performers. He passed away in 2014 at age 29, but his bloodlines continue to shape Olympic podiums and top-level breeding worldwide.
🧬 Dam Line: Stamm 4294 — Salytino HH and BeyondSalytino HH (b. 2002) earned Holsteiner Premium Mare status and a Bezirksprämie. A dam by Caretino out of Warda (by Calypso I). She achieved high scores in her mare performance test—reported to include 9 for walk, 8 for canter, 8.5 for free jumping, and 8 by guest rider.
