Comments:

Gervantus II is an imported and Verband approved Oldenburg stallion that had a significant career in the jumper ring in Europe. Gervantus II passed both the German stallion performance test in Medingen and the one in Switzerland in Avenches. Ridden by Urs Fah, member of the Swiss Nation Team, Gervantus II was a winner of several Niveau S and International, including at the CSI-W in Paris, where he placed three times in three starts; the CSI-A in Zurich, where he also placed three times; and in Mannheim, where he placed second in the Grand Prix. In preparation to European championship 1999, Gervantus II was forced to retire due to injury. Gervantus sire Grannus, himself a successful show jumper up to advanced level is the kind of jumper producer you can rely on. Around the globe Grannus' offspring are to be found when it comes to show jumping: Grannusch/J. Whitaker, Imperial/R. Pessoa, previous German 6-year-old-showjumper champion Gaston/ H. Sprunger, Grand Slam/N. Skelton, Golo/G. Wiltfang and F. Sloothaak, Governor/P. le Jeune, Garfield/M.Jensen, Top Gun La Silla/Jan Tops, Grand Plaisir, Remus Equo, Warship, Gracieux and many more. The maternal line is originated in the state premium mare St.Pr.St.Gervante. From this dam-line comes the winner of many S-level competitions - Fidelio (by Furioso II) ridden by Dietrich Schulze, Gento (three-day-eventer ridden by H. Melzer) and Freischutz (European junior dressage champion with Susanne Stoll). Gervantus II's dam Gentana II also gave birth to the champion stallion Gervantus I mentioned above who after being used for breeding in Oldenburg and Baden Wurttemberg, now stands in The Netherlands and is the sire of international winners such as Braveheart - winner at the CIO; Georgina at CSI and Giselle under Ludo Philippaerts. Gervantus II's first crop was born in Westphalia in 1991 and received premiums. 1993 and 1994 fillies by Gervantus II were well placed at mare shows in Germany and Switzerland. His daughter Gazel was awarded State Premium status in Switzerland and was sixth placed out of 126 mares on the shows. Gervantus II is also the sire of the 2000 foal champion in Avenches Switzerland. In general it is type and movement that mark Gervantus II's progeny. Sire of: Stallion: GRANIT XII CH - winner at Niveau S. GARFIELD W - Open Jumper; ridden by John Anderson, Canada.
