He has numerous winning foals, including USDF, Markel and Cosequin National Breeders' Series champions, DG Bar Cup Champions, National KWPN-NA All Breeds Champion, AHHA All Breeds Champion, National Reserve Champion FEI 5 year old and Elite Mare, CDS Futurity Champion, KWPN-NA top ten winners and DSHB National or Reserve Champions.

Drop dead gorgeous, with an outstanding character and work ethic, Contester completed his sport performance requirements for stallion licensing and is now fully approved for the Holsteiner, KWPN-NA (Dutch) and Oldenburg (GOV) Verband and RPSI studbooks. A 2009 colt was also given a premium designation for the Zangersheide. Please call for a video of this proven sire and prepare to breed your own champion.
