No
short cuts have been taken with this stunning young pinto Contango stallion son.
His
progress in training is carefully monitored, and always appropriate for his
level of physical and mental development... with the long term goal
of competing at GP, though true to his pedigree, Commander seems to want
to jump. We are all very
impressed by this talented athletic young stallion and look forward
to a promising future. Serious inquiries invited. Fancy Ruler
is also the dam of Lord Baltimore who is seen here with his owner
Robin Brueckmann

Commander
was the high scoring colt
for movement at his 2004 Oldenburg Registry North America Inspection. Commander is not related to
Samber (or Samber's dam Tina). Click here for Commander's
pedigree.
Commander
is sired by
Contango (by Contender). Contango, Keur, Preferent
was Champion of his 100-Day Test in Medingen, Germany, in 1991. He
earned 9s on temperament and trainability and won top honors in both
jumping and dressage. He was ridden by Els Jansen at heavy tour level
prior to his departure to the USA. With his owner and rider Mary Alice
Malone, Contango made his debut at Grand Prix level dressage. In 1997 he
achieved seven 1st Place wins at Grand Prix. His offspring Madorijke,
Maverick, Maestro and New Tango have reached the same level in sport and
are successful internationally. Contango's offspring Broere Maroon,
Newton and Nouvelle are competing at the highest levels in the jumping
ring. His sons Ravel and "I forget his name" with Stephen Peters
are doing well in dressage. Ravel is one of the TOP GP Dressage horses
in the world, he just won the World Cup. Check the ISF website for
details. Heck if you don't know what Ravel just won, then
you don't follow dressage. Contango's breeding values for both dressage (168) and jumping (123) are
far above average. Through his approved son Citango and grandson Tango
the breeders can profit from Contango’s qualities that have earned him
the preferent predicate as a sire. The incredible Sandro Hit daughter
Poetin (who sold for 2.5 million Euros) was bred to Contango.
Contango's sire

Commander's dam -
Fancy Ruler
-
is a 1982 Main Mare Book Oldenburg mare
(Bold Ruler line 7/8ths TB). Fancy Ruler was presented to the
German Oldenburg Verband / Oldenburg Registry North America in 1995 at
an Inspection at which Dr. Roland Ramsauer officiated. Dr.
Ramsauer was the German Breeding Director for the German Oldenburg
Verband (in Germany) and the Breeding Director for the Oldenburg
Registry North America in the United States. In 1995 there was
only one Oldenburg Registry in North America (which was called Oldenburg
Registry North America) and it was the only legal licensee of the German
Oldenburg Verband operating in the US. Dr. Ramsauer felt
that Fancy ruler was of exceptional quality with respect to her
conformation, movement and pedigree and well worthy of acceptance into
the Oldenburg Main Mare Book.
What Dr. Ramsauer did in 1995 is much the same as years ago, when some Dutch
inspector approved Samber’s dam - Tina. Essentially, in 1995 Dr. Rolland Ramsauer had
the authority and subsequently approved Fancy Ruler as a Main Mare Book Oldenburg
Mare for both the German Oldenburg Verband and the Oldenburg Registry
North America, adding a new source of approved pinto color for
Oldenburg breeding. (For more about Fancy Ruler see her
page.)
