Overview:
Salerno Conderlisa is a bay 2020 Quarter Horse mare bred and originally owned by James and Oliver Salerno. She was foaled on 12 October 2020.
She is sired by Hazelwood Conman, one of Australia’s most successful campdraft sires, and out of Royal Black Cat (IMP), a black AQHA-registered mare imported from the United States and sired by cutting legend High Brow Cat.
Started under saddle and offered as a two-year-old at the 2023 Nutrien Classic Sale, she reflects her high-value pedigree — her full sister reportedly sold for $150,000.
Given her age, she has no competition record yet; her value lies in her exceptional bloodlines and potential in both performance and breeding.
Highlights:
Salerno Conderlisa’s pedigree uniquely blends champion Australian Stock Horse bloodlines with elite American Quarter Horse cutting lines.
On the paternal side, Hazelwood Conman is by Dogwood Comet (a son of Elliotts Creek Cadet) and out of Hazelwood Romance (by Warrenbri Romeo). These lines are cornerstones of modern ASH breeding.
Conman himself earned Heritage Stock Horse status and an “Impact Sire” Hall of Fame title with over 1,500 registered progeny. By 2024, his progeny had reached $10 million in sales at the Nutrien Classic auctions.
On the maternal side, Royal Black Cat is by High Brow Cat, the all-time leading sire in NCHA history, with over $80 million in progeny earnings. Royal Black Cat was a modest performer but a valuable broodmare.
Her dam, Royal Black Peppy, is the full sister to Peptoboonsmal. The great-granddam, Royal Blue Boon, was the Equi-Stat #1 all-time producing broodmare, with over $2.6 million in offspring earnings.
These maternal lines also include Smart Little Kitty (dam of High Brow Cat, by Smart Little Lena) and the famed Royal Tincie.
Salerno Conderlisa’s four-generation pedigree shows no inbreeding and represents a deliberate fusion of elite bloodlines from both hemispheres — ideal for campdraft, challenge, or cutting competition and long-term breeding value.
