Fantus was the No.1 Holsteiner sire for several years during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Fantus was a rather compact gray stallion, rather araby in type, who had good basic gaits, especially springy in the trot. He was good under saddle and exceptional over fences with many wins up to Grand Prix level. Interestingly, we find Fantus on the dams side in the excellent dressage horse Coriander. Fantus was by the “ F” line horse, Farnese, whom Dr. Rossow describes as “the most important of all sires”. Farnese had an “excellent ground covering trot and good canter... (He was) pleasant to ride but not altogether relaxed.”
