Charming Boy

Charming Boy, Champion Stallion of the 2005 Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International approval, is a modern Holstein stallion in a noble bay color with good type, outstanding jumping talent and elastic movements.

His sire, Contendro, won his stallion performance test in 2000 in Adelheidsforf.
