We are very happy to see Countselo again. The 2011 stallion is in great condition.

This year, we can see his first string of foals. They look great, one of them, Casar (out of Stakkato mare) was in 132th Hannoverian Elite Auction.

In 2016 we will see Countselo in more competitions and try to qualify into the Bundeschampionat. In 2015 the Canstakko x Contendro won Pfingstturnier in Hulsen with rider Krysztof Jawid.

"He has a very good character. The rideability is getting better and better and i hope next year Countselo will be able to show his best," said Jawid.
