Has anyone in Ireland seen him in the flesh? Are Quidam desendants easy I have a mare that is hot and spooky so want somethng really calm to produce a showjumper
No idea of temperament but I like him alot! He's lush!! (not much help I'm afraid!!) because of his age you won't really know what sort of temperaments he himself throws unfotunately.
I do like this boy a lot!!! Unfortunately as competition diva says you have no idea of his performance, etc yet but all in all he is a gorgeous boy and incredibly well bred to say the least! His damline is also interesting as his dam, Meenook is a full sister to the dressage and jumping stallion Cheenook, who was the sire of, amongst others, the Grade A Int stallion Caretino Glory. So, if it is that particular bloodline that you are after, along with obviously the proven sire status, then you would not go wrong with using Caretino Glory instead or just give this gorgeous boy a chance and see what you get.
now he is really nice, how much is the fee, as I didn't see it on site, we have a trakehner mare am looking for a stallion next year, I was thinking of a pure bred, but I really like this guy, loved his loose jumping & nice knee action.
As he is so young I was thinking that they may be very selective with his first few books and as with so many stud sites the information doesnt seem to get updated very often

Nice type but not quick enough over the fence for my liking if looking at him as a SJ

i disagree, this horse once he comes into himself will be awesome, i would say he was laid back, chilled and relaxed about the whole thing. Bareing in mind you dont have a lot of room in there, if he had the space to quicken???. my friend lives in ireland and has seen him, definatly one to watch as a jumper in my opinion.
I have a Young mare by Quite Easy who is By "Quidm de Revel", she's sooooo laid back and keen on her job, fantastic wee mare. doesnt know how to spook, had her hacking up the main roads and she only turned 4 in april!
In 2004, Quidam de Revel topped the World Breeding Championships Jumping Stallion ratings for the second year running, establishing himself as the pre-eminent and most expensive living sire of jumping horses.With ten (!) of his progeny jumping at the WEG in Jerez 2002, he was the stallion with the most number of progeny at this level.
Quidam was himself a jumping star; a member of the French Olympic Team, and fourth individually at the Barcelona Olympic Games with Herve Godignon. A year later the patriotic French breeders were shocked when Danish businessman, Flemming Velin purchased the stallion for a still secret sum, believed to be a record at the time.
