Origins

Sir Caletto's pedigree includes the direct combination of two successful international show jumping stallions, sire Sandro and dam's sire Caletto I. Both stallions join the elite lineup of Holsteiner stallions considered worthy of being accepted and even welcomed into the Hanoverian breeding registry.

Sandro daughters, after mare performance testing, show tremendous aptitude for jumping with indexes of 162/showjumping, 153/technique and 161/scope. Sandro progeny have won over 650,000 DM in competition with 553 actively competitive successful sons and daughters. Caletto I daughters are equally impressive with indexes of 144/show jumping, 147/technique and 138/scope with a rideability index of 127. These statistics are according to Dr. Ludwig Christmann of the German Hanoverian Verband in its annual breed value book.

Sir Caletto will be of interest to breeders who are excited by the real potential for developing jumping stock with a high degree of rideability as well as a beautiful type that will be a complementary cross for Hanoverian, Oldenburg, Swedish Warmblood and Thoroughbred Mares.

The Hanoverian pedigree from the dam's side is a power pack of performance talent: Wienerwald produced numerous top show jumpers for the highest of demands including Wieland, Winzer, Wiener Domspatz and WeiBe Dame. The great grand dam Diana (together with Pik As xx) gave birth to the top competition horses Galipolis (Gerd Wiltfang), Golden Gate 4 (Otto Becker) Queensway Big Q (Harvey Smith) (all by Gotthard) and Wiener Penny (Jurgen Kapp). The latter is a full sister of the grand dam Wiener Blut. The successful sport horse and sire Rickmer (Ritual) is also out of this bloodline.

Sir Caletto's pedigree carries internationally known Holstein blood and Thoroughbred lines (the same dam lineage as the Rhenic dressage sire Prinz Muthagen). After completion of his 100 day test and competition as a five-year-old, he was initially utilized for breeding purposes in Sweden. 49 mares are expecting foals for the 2002 season. He was also used in the Schockemohle breeding program where he was purchased in 2002 by Silverhorne Sporthorse.
