Dam's Sire: CALETTO I

Origins

Caletto I  is a son of the French sire Cor de la Bryere , who became a foundation sire in Holstein. His dam is the famous Deka, who produced 5 approved stallions: Gonzales (show jumping stallion with the highest winnings in 1980, very successful at stud), Caletto I, Caletto II (Champion Sire of 1980, very successful at stud), Lysander (as a 6-year-old successful in intermediate show jumping competitions, stallion approval in Switzerland) and Caletto III (the 1990 winner of intermediate show jumper competitions).
 

Performance Record

From 1981 to 1985 Caletto l was successfully competing in international show jumping competitions under his owner. In 1983
Caletto I was team bronze medalist at the European championships in Hickstead. In the same year he was the most successful German horse competing in Prix des Nations classes and the horse with the highest winnings at the CSIO in Geneva. In the same year he also won or was placed in the International Show Jumping Championships and the Grand Prix in Aachen, the Grand Prix of Switzerland, the Grand Prix of Calgary and the Grand Prix of Aachen again in 1984. In 1985 he won the first CSI in Stuttgart. In five years he won more than DM 100,000-more than any other German sire before him.
 

Breeding Record
 

From his first season at the Vornholz Stud in 1978 there is the approved stallion Cartusch. In 1979 and 1980 he stood in Dithmarschen, Holstein where he sired many premium- winning foals, several state premium mares and 3 approved stallions. One of them, Camaro, had a fatal accident at the age of 4, but he left outstanding sport horses in his only two crops. Only the younger one, Cantus, is still at the disposal of Holstein's breeders and very popular. Right from the start there has been a big demand for Caletto's progeny because of their extraordinary aptitude for jumping. (e.g.) state premium mare Carrara was sold through the Holstein auction for DM 75,000 to Brazil. Celio, Caletta and Cremona are further progeny who successfully compete abroad.
