At the Neumünster stallion approval, the medium-size bay boasting lots of appeal convinced grading commission and audience alike. This Quintero son particularly stands out due to his movement and endurance. His greatest talent however is his natural jumping aptitude. He is careful, with quick reactions, outstanding technique and uncommon scope, even though he just hinted at these qualities at the Neumünster stallion licensing.

His dam Picolina was the undisputed champion of the Elmshorn elite mare show in 2003, as she displayed the best movement and the best type in her age group in Schleswig-Holstein. The very same year she gave definite proof of her own performance in the mare performance test, where she was awarded a 10.0 both in free jumping and by the test rider, completing the test at an overall score of 8.99. Picolina comes from the same mare family - line 5064 - as the stallions Calido I and II, Paramount, Little Rock and Ukato.

Quintero Ask, an own grandson of Quidam de Revel, has several crosses to Cor de la Bryère on the dam's side of his pedigree through the stallions Chamonix by Caletto II and Calando I. Moreover, his bloodline which traces back to line 569 carries the stallions Farnese and Ladykiller/TB, two performance sires known to stamp their offspring with their quality. As early as in 2009 he attracted attention with excellent placings under his rider Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, for example in the Aachen nations cup and the Hagen, Bremen, and Frankfurt Grand Prixs. In 2010, he confirmed his exceptional jumping quality by winning classes in Paris and Geneva and placing in world cup jumping events. In 2011 he won the Grand Prix in Bremen, the Barcelona nations cup with the Swedish team and - for the third time in a row - the Gucci Challenge in Paris. Several licensed stallions, one of them the 2009 second reserve champion Quick Fire, state premium daughters, and hiqhly talented auction horses document Quintero Ask's value to the breeding programme.
The 30-day ability assessment saw Quarz score 8.0 or above for character, walk, trot, rideability and jumping aptitude. In the Schlieckau stallion performance test he obtained a 9.0 score for his jumping ability, his jumping technique and his cross-country canter.

Quarz won and was placed in young jumper classes with his rider Markus Suchalla and took 3rd place at the Elmshorn riding horse state championship in 2010. In 2012, he won young jumper classes at M* level and qualified for the Warendorf 6-year-old jumper Bundeschampionat under Thomas Konle. In the beginning of 2013, Quarz demonstrated remarkable form at the stallion presentation held in Neumünster.
His first performances in the international youngster tour were pretty impressive for breeders and top riders alike. In early summer, the stallion changed hands and is now owned by Stutteri Ask and ridden by Rolf-Göran Bengtsson under whom he has already chalked up results at international level. The very good movement demonstrated by his first foal crops earned him a breeding value of 125 index points for the trait paces and impulsion.

At the 2013 Neumünster stallion grading, a typey Quarz son doing a very good jump has been licensed for breeding.
