Libretto
Faust Z is by Furioso II, who was probably the most significant Oldenburg stallion, and possibly one of the most important and influential warmbloods. This stallion was a top money earner through his progeny, which include: Voltaire, Purioso, and his grandson Concorde. Bidorette comes from the famous Le Mexico and Alme Z line, and is the dam of the international show jumper, Fervent (winnings of £20,000) and 2009 British Breeding champion Billy Mexico. She is also the dam of Brian Dye's young show jumper, Panama, who has recently been sold to Marge Goldstein of the USA. This talented stallion was graded with the SHB(GB) with a strong overall mark of nine making him the reserve grading champion. Grading Judge Dr Senckenberg commented that, "Libro is an exceptional horse which would grade anywhere in Europe" (Horse & Hound, Nov 25th 1999).
