Exceptional Jumper Owned by Flyinge-National Stud of Sweden

Quite Easy was in training with Peter Eriksson, one of Sweden's top Grand Prix show jumping riders, and has developed into one of the top competition and breeding stallions currently available. He has been successful in sport up to 1.60 meters, or the Grand Prix level. He was 2nd in Sweden's outdoor championships and was the winner of Sweden's 7 & 8 Year Old Championships. His tremendous scope and careful technique are key factors in his success in sport.

Quite Easy's talent is easy to recognize within the great names of his pedigree. He unites the brilliant talent of his sire Quidam de Revel, who brings Galoubet and Almé's influence, with the reliable athleticism of Germany's Landgraf and Capitano, lending the strengths of Ladykiller xx, Ramzes, and Cottage Son xx.

Quidam de Revel helped win the Team Bronze for France in the '92 Olympics and placed 4th individually. That same year, he was ranked as the number one show jumping stallion in the world. He was sold to Denmark in 1993 and has continued to win many international Grand Prix's in show jumping under Thomas Velin. Quidam de Revel has many internationally successful offspring, including Tlaloc M, Diabolo du Parc, Gandini Bianca, El Campeons Cirka Z, Eve des Etisses, and Nabab de Reve.

Quite Easy's dam Birte II is by the legendary Landgraf I and to add to her stature, she is out of a highly celebrated mare U-Capitola. U-Capitola is the full-sister to the stallions Capitol I, II, and III. Birte II is also the dam of Quite Easy II who was approved in Holstein and Casir Ask, a successful Grand Prix jumper. Birte II's damsire Landgraf I has over 130 approved sons and more than 80 state premium daughters. Landgraf is one of the world's most renowned sires for producing successful show jumpers.

The strength of this pedigree shines through in Quite Easy's offspring who are proving to possess his same rideability and are on their rise to successful showjumping and dressage careers of their own. In 2001, Quite Easy was Flyinge's most popular stallion and in 2002 he was Sweden's most popular stallion on both the national and international level. In 2007, Quite Easy was leased to France and the response from breeders was immediate as he bred over 200 mares in one season!

Quite Easy has several approved sons in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, and Sweden. His son Quattro was licensed in Herning, Denmark in the spring of 2001 and was Reserve Champion stallion at his performance test in Wilhelmsborg. Two Quite Easy offspring participated in the 2002 Danish National Jumping Championships at Wilhelmsborg. Quite Easy's approved son Quite L won the qualifier and was 8th in the final.

Quite Easy's first foal crop went through the national performance testing for 3-year-olds in 2002, a test for all stallions' progeny in both jumping and dressage. Of 48 foals born to his first foal crop, 14 were presented in the performance testing and 12 received Class 1 awards. Six of these received awards for jumping and three were highlighted with dressage awards. Quite Easy's multitalented son Qalle passed his stallion licensing in 2003, with good remarks.

Quite Easy has had Class 1 foals at all foal championships. The filly Philippa S (damsire Caretino) won Sweden's 2001 National Championship in Tingsryd. From the results of the 2003 Three-Year Old Performance Tests in Sweden, Quite Easy demonstrated a 70% rate of producing premium jumping offspring and 64% premium offspring rate in dressage. Quite Easy's daughter Quillabamba J was the Champion three year-old jumping mare in 2003.

North American breeders are lucky to have access to a stallion of Quite Easy's caliber through his excellent quality frozen semen and conception rates. His quick reactions, scope, and strong hind end transmit consistently to his offspring and he is a top choice for serious jumper breeders.
