Clair de Lune is a young stallion with a pedigree that includes some of the best show jumping bloodlines in the world. He has top sires in the first 3 generations, on both dam and sire side. His sire CONTENDOR, ½ brother to the # 1 sire of Holstein, CONTENDER, competed internationally in many prestigious competitions. He consistently placed and won top 10 in many Grand Prix such as G/P of Indio, Wiesbaden Audi International, $50,000 CSIO International, $75,000 HBO GP of Delmar, LA International World Cup Qualifier with Hugh Mutch aboard. He ranked 6th on the USET West Coast World Cup Qualifying list in 2003. Calypso II-the sire of Contendor, was himself an international showjumper ridden by M. Ruping. He was later retired to stud and became an outstanding progenitor siring many famous showjumpers including Contender and Coriolan. Cor de la Bryere – is the foundation sire of Holstein and sire of dozens of famous international superstars. Graphit – is the sire of Contendor’s dam Grille, who produced Grannus (sire of Olympian Top Gun, Grannus Grannit, Graf Grannus, etc. a total of 7 Olympic horses!!). Contendor’s full brother Monty Morelos, competed in the 2000 Olympics with the Mexican team! On the dam's side, Clair's mother L'Vienna, a Hanoverian Grand Prix showjumper, became a broodmare due a irreversible injury that ended her showjumping carreer. L'Vienna descends from Alme Z, who has sired numerous international showjumpers including Quicksilver and Galoubet A. Galoubet is the sire of Rodrigo Pessoa's famous Oympic mount Baloubet de Rouet.

Clair is a beautiful stallion, very handsome with a rare bluish tint to his grey. He has an incredible neck and top line. When started under saddle this year he has shown us a willingness to please and perform and a very kind temperament. In the jump chute he has demonstrated phenomenal jumping ability, tremendous power and is an incredible overall athlete. As quoted by Kenneth Vinther of CWD saddlery, who handled the stallion at the BWP Keuring this last summer “he jumps like a freak”, “I’ve never seen a horse jump like that” . “He’s unbelievable”!! Clair will be beginning his showjumping career with a foundation of dressage in 2008 and then move on into his jumper training in 2009. Clair’s first offspring will arrive in spring of ’09.
