Through the stallions Quidam de Revel and Cor de la Bryère Quantum is a French stallion for the part of three-quaters! Quantum was Vice-Champion of the Stallion Licensing in Holstein in 1996.

His sire Jalisco B was very successful in international Championships and Grand Prixs and there is a lot of outstanding offspring with the same quality.
The dam of Quidam, Dirka, a little jumping flea of 1,63m, was international successful with Nelson Pessoa. Dirka has much successful offspring in the international sport.
The dam of Quantum, Ulla, is full-sister of Constant, who was top in international jumping competitions with Hans Günther Winkler and Michael Rüping. Also in breeding he was very successfull with a lot of offspring which have many potential like the licensed stallion Chin Chin, who was participant of 2 Olympic Games. Quantum wasn't easy to ride, he needs more attemps to pass the stallion performance test. Therefore he bred only in the year 1997 and then he has to made a breeding brake. But the Holsteiner Verband believes in this stallion and was waiting until the first offspring shows its outstanding potential. During this time Quantum was successful in jumping competitions until 1,35m.
Out of the first age-group Quintero was licensed. In 2003 during the World Championship of Young Horses Quintero und Quin Chin were final participants. Quintero is very sucessful in international jumping shows with Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, SWE, he was placed in Great Prices like Aachen, Paderborn, Münster etc. In 2007 he has won the Championship of Holstein with Rolf-Göran Bengtsson.

The other few offspring of Quantum of the first age-group is also very successful. F.e. Karatina with Pénélope Leprevost, FRA, who is successful until 1,55m. For this reason in 2001 Quantum was given back to breeding and his foals are most convincing, and the free-jumping is outstanding. His eldest offspring is now 11 years old and from this few horses, which have had successes of jumping competitions, were 50% successful in jumping competitions until the highest level. This value is very good regarding the few offspring. And the next age-groups up to 2002 are now very successful in jumping competitions until the highest international level. F.e. the licensed stallion Quality Time.
