Condus' grandsire Ramzes AA was an Anglo Arab.  Born in Poland in 1937, he was imported to Germany in 1948 and competed as a jumper.  He stood for mares in 1951 and 1952 to refine the heavy Warmblood horses in the area.  His sire was the great thoroughbred Rittersporn, while his dam was the Shagya Arab, Jordi.  Ramzes was an immediate success as a sire.  He bred show jumpers in Westphalia and produced dressage horses.  Producing five licensed sons he was sold to the Netherlands where he was enormously successful as a sire of show jumpers.
