Overview
Quite Easy's sire, Quidam de Revel, is a very successful show jumping sire and his progeny are in high demand around the world. Quidam de Revel helped win the Team Bronze for France in the 1992 Olympics and placed 4th individually. He has been ranked as the number one show jumping stallion in the world for many years since them and has produced many internationally successfully offspring. Quite Easy's dam Birte II is by the legendary Landgraf and is out of the highly celebrated mare U-Capitola. U-Capitola is the full-sister to the stallions Capitol I-II and produced four approved sons, including Landcapitol.
Pedigree
Performance
Quite Easy was shown by Peter Eriksson, one of Sweden's top Grand Prix show jumping riders for a number of seasons. He has been successful in sport up to 1.60meters, 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 and we see these traits passed on to his offspring. It is noteworthy that an injury as a foal left Quite Easy with only one eye, making his competitive success even more remarkable and showing the heart that this stallion offers. North American breeders are fortunate to have access to a stallion of Quite Easy's caliber through his excellent quality frozen semen and conception rates. His modern type and interesting bloodlines allows him to complement a variety of mares. Quite Easy's quick reactions, scope, and strong hindend transmit consistently to his offspring and he is a top choice for serious jumper breeders.
Offspring
While the jumping ability was clearly foretold with his pedigree, Quite Easy has also proven to produce very good movement in his foals and we see many competing in the dressage arena as well. In Quite Easy's early foal crops we saw Swedish National Champions such as Phillipa S and Quite Lovely earning multiple scores of 9 and even 10. As they entered the competition arena, the success continued including Quilamba's National Championships and QL's 3rd place finish at the World Championships for Young Horses in Jumping as a five year old. We now see these offspring moving up to the International level and Quite Easy is represented around the globe. In 2007, Quite Easy was leased to France and the response from breeders was immediate as he bred over 200 mares in one season. From that first season, 10 foals qualified for the French Foal Championships and one went on to become the Supreme Champion. Three Quite Easy sons, bred from frozen semen imported in earlier years, were also approved in France last year.
