Contis' sire is the Premium stallion Interconti, an exceptional mover with clear influence as a refiner, who has enjoyed remarkable success with his early foal crops. Interconti's breeding contains an extraordinary concentration of the important performance-oriented bloodlines of the modern Trakehner breed and represents a potent addition to any pedigree. Interconti is the last son of the great Consul, a sire of great influence through his sons as well as his daughters, and in both the Trakehner and the Hanoverian breeds in Germany and internationally. Interconti's dam sire is Mahagoni, the most important Trakehner dressage sire of the last 60 years, and his dam line also produced the Bundeschampion Induc among many others.

Contis' dam, the double Premium mare Contessa, is by the elite stallion and 2006 Trakehner stallion of the year Michelangelo, a highly significant sire graded for the Trakehner, Hanoverian, Oldenburger, KWPN, Danish and Swedish studbooks, with progeny at advanced level in dressage, eventing, show jumping and driving. Michelangelo is the top Trakehner mare sire by grading marks for the fourth year running; he produces highly rideable and elegant horses with good temperament and outstanding paces.
