Don Quixote is a medium framed, very attractive stallion with an excellent top-line and overall conformation. He was licensed with both the CWB and CSH with very good remarks on his quick reflexes through the jump chute and his breed and sex type. He unfortunately fractured his humerus as a yearling so has been unable to compete but he is well on his way to proving himself as an excellent sire.
Don Quixote has a small but very uniform group of foals on the ground. They have long, correct legs, well set on necks with a good length of back connecting to a strong hind leg and a lovely expressions. His oldest are winning in both the hunter and jumper rings and are proving to be especially nice amateur horses. They jump in very good form, have excellent canters with a natural lead change and are brave yet careful to the fences. Don Quixote is an excellent cross on TB mares or hot mares that need a more tractable temperament and he is definitly producing amateur friendly athletes. Son Irresistible 2013 Don Quixote x Indorado gelding is winning in the Children’s hunters in the US and another son is Johnny Be Goode 2014 Don Quixote x Calvados gelding is winning in the jumper ring.
Don Quixote's sire Gervantus II was himself a show jumper at the highest level competing for many years at the Grand Prix level. He has produced many State Premium mares in Switzerland as well as advanced level show jumpers and an Olympic level eventer. Gervantus II's sire Grannus is one of the most influential sires of his time in Germany known for passing on incredible jumping genes as well as being found in the pedigree's of many Dressage horses. His dam the St.Pr.St. mare Grentanna II also produced Gervantus I who was Licensing champion and then went on to a successful stud career now standing in Holland.
Don Quixote's dam Rosario T was shown under the name Roost T. She competed at the young horse World Championships in Lanken, Zangersheide at the age of 6. She was successful up to 1.45m before her import to Canada. Rosario is a beautiful type with an excellent top-line and huge scope over the fences. Her sire Burggraaf not only competed at the highest level but also has produces numerous international offspring and is also found on the mother-line of countless upper level jumpers. The Burggraaf x Voltaire cross has been an especially good cross of not only upper level jumpers but of exceptional hunters and solid breeding stock. She has had three foals so far and two of them are licensed stallions and the other one was sold to a top professional as a GP jumper prospect.
