Canterbury Court
Peru C

(Presidio - Singular Joter - Saloniki - Argentan)
2005 black-brown  Oldenburg Verband $**








Peru is a beautiful dark brown to black filly
with minimal white. She has a modern type
with long legs and a feminine head and neck.
Peru has a lovely floating trot, an uphill
canter, and great over track in her walk,
making her a good candidate for dressage,
jumping or breeding. Peru has a sweet
temperament and wants you to be her
friend.  Her basic groud work including
saddling and accepting a bridle has been
done. We expect her to start under saddle in
the spring of 2008.

Peru’s sire Presidio is an outstanding jumper
rating 9 and 9 on his free jumping for the
Hanoverians.  Presidio descends from the
same damline as the famous jumpers Sprehe
Stella and  Barcelona Olympian Prestige and
the approved stallions Picard, Grandus,
Donatelli,  Dobrock, Wendengott, Placido, De
la Gardie Daimler, Der Graf, Isaiah and
Lanthanid.

Peru’s dam Sigourney was not only the
champion of her inspection site, she was
also the #3 mare for the AHS in her
inspection year. She has a very typey head
and exquisite conformation. Her normal trot
shows great elevation and a natural passage.
Sigourney’s sire, Singular Joter was one of
the stars of the State Stud of Celle with a
dressage index of 122 and a jumping index of
135. Singular Joter scored an incredible
156.11 in jumping at his performance test. He
is a proven producer of successful offspring
in both jumping and dressage. His full brother
Singular Joter II was third in the Young
Jumper World Championships in 2000 and
has gone on to be a successful Grand Prix
jumper. His daughter Sunrise was the
reserve World Cup Champion in 2007 with
Imke Schellekens-Bartels. A Singular Joter
daughter produced the reserve champion of
the Oldenburg licensing First Feroz (by Furst
Heinrich) who will stand at Gestut Vorverk,
the home of Rubinstein.


Sigourney's dam has produced four States
Premium mares by Weinerwald as well as
licensed stallions by Weinerwald, Singular
Joter (a full brother to Sigourney) and
Ramiro’s Boy.  She goes back twice through
Saloniki and Senator to the rare Semper
Idem Trakehner line which is noted for its
production of jumping horses. The chestnut
Senator was a handsome stallion  with
generous proportions in length and size,
correct conformation, ample neck and
shoulders, good hooves and excellent
movement.  He presented 40 approved sons
and numerous highly decorated show mares.
Senator‘s most significant stallion sons were
undoubtedly Sender, Sesam 1 and Senat.  
Sender first stood in Drochtersen, where
Senator was also born. His best-known
stallion sons were Saloniki, Salut, Seelöwe,
Sendbote and Senussi. In the Emsland,
Sender presented top showjumpers such as
Sarto 3 / H.W. Johannsmann, Soltau /
Bernhard Kamps and Sethos 2 / Norbert Koof.
The Sender genotype is preserved today via
Saloniki, Salem and Salvano. Silvano‘s sons
Sherlock Holmes and Salieri are increasingly
distinguishing themselves as sires, thereby
increasing the likelihood of the continuation
of the bloodline in the male line. Anky van
Grunsven’s World Cup winner Salinero is a
Salieri offspring.  Three Servus sons have  
been licensed  -  the successful competition
sports horses Slibovitz and Spartan and the
latter‘s son Stakkato, 2007 Hanoverian
Verband Stallion of the Year.


Peru has additional Trakehner blood through
the immortal Argentan 1994 Hanoverian
Stallion of the Year. Argentan was one of the
most important sons of Absatz He left no less
than 1486 Hanoverian registered offspring,
18 licensed sons, 9 of them approved
Hanoverian: Advocat, Al Capone, Archipel,
Aircraft, Amani, Argentinus (2005 Hanoverian
Stallion of the Year), Airport, Ansas and
Argrand. He passed stallions performance
test in 1970 at Westercelle ranking 4th out of
15. While his approved sons are certainly
very influential in German warmblood breeds
one shouldn't forget to have a look at his
daughters: He sired no less than three DLG
show winners: SPS Arabella born in 1979 has
won at Frankfurt in 1984, SPS Aragonia born
in 1974 has won at Frankfurt in 1978 and
SPS Ascona born in 1977 got it in Hanover in
1980. Arabella also managed to win the
honorable Louis Wiegels title in 1982 as well
as the best in show title at
Bundesstutenschau at Verden in 1983.
Aragonia was also considered best in show
at Ratje-Niebuhr-show in 1979 at Verden. His
blood is still widely spread in the Hanoverian
breed and elsewhere. When Argentan died he
left offspring competing up to international
level in dressage, jumping and three day
eventing  and even FEI level driving. The fact
he has no less than 593 registered daughters
in the Hanoverian breed (115 of them States
premium mares) indicates he is far from
being forgotten. He is a perfect role model for
the theory versatility is not necessarily in
your way to the top but it is possible to breed
top quality jumpers and dressage horses at
once.

This mare line has also produced the Celle
stallions Rosentau (dressage ) and Landjager
G (jumping) again showing the versatility of
this damline.
