• Diacontinus jumped up to 1.50m with exceptional bascule and carefulness, combining classic Holsteiner/Contendro rideability with Diarado elasticity.

• Upgraded trot, big ground-covering canter, and uphill balance—unusual quality for a true power jumper.

• Smooth, adjustable ride; not sharp or temperamental. A big reason for his popularity with breeders wanting both talent and sanity.

Breeders report that “they all look like Diacontinus,” with:

• powerful topline

• long, elegant frame

• modern, uphill neck

• strong hind end

• big, soft, elastic movement

This predictability is a major advantage in a breeding program.

Diacontinus produces:

• brave but not reactive horses

• intelligent, willing learners

• excellent work ethic

• top amateur-friendly rideability

This makes his offspring easier to start, train, and sell.

His offspring compete in:

• Hunters (derbies, performance hunters, 3’6” divisions)

• Jumpers (1.20–1.45m consistently, some higher)

• Eventing (bravery + gallop + technique)

He offers a rare combination of scope + beauty + movement.
