Pedigree

Kalahari was awarded Premium Status with an outstanding inspection score of 9.0 at her ISR/NA foal inspection in 1993. At the time, she was at the side of one of our Foundation Mares, MSB Greta. Her pedigree carries exceptional Hanoverian blood and the AHS readily accepted her into the registry in 1997.

As the highest selling weanling at any U.S. auction in 1994, Kalahari was the Reserve Champion Filly at the West Coast Sporthorse Classic Foal Championships with a score of 9.5 and again in 1997 she was the Champion 3 Year Old Mare at the WCS Series of Breedshows. Very refined and elegant thanks to the Thoroughbred blood of sire Kalypso, she is a classic hunter mover, bought expressly to cross with Sir Caletto. Because her dam Great was in our program and we had, with great regularity seen that her foals by other warmblood stallions had been so typey and elegant that were many times over breedshow champions, her addition to the program was an obvious choice.

Origins and Breeding

Her sire Kalypso, infused the program with new bloodlines who deliver excellent jumping ability via sire Kronenkranich XX bloodlines of Grande, Ferdinand and the legendary sires Servus and Bold Ruler XX. The Servus blood is found again in the pedigree of Susie and EM Sienna.

Kalypso was able to stamp his modern type on traditional warmblood mares while maintaining substance and bone. Notable Kalypso offspring include the elite Hanoverian Mare, Kharisma, who sold as a two-yar-old for $26,000 at a Glenwood Auction in 1993.

History of Get of this mare: She produced a super 1998 colt by Pointmaker, Pagemaker, who won four first places and was Reserve Champion Junior stallion and High Point Hanoverian with a 85% at Glenwood Breeders Classic; her 1999 colt, Danbury by Diamont was USDF Young Horse Reserve Champion for the series; her 2001 filly Demoiselle by Diamont was Reserve Show Champion at one year and sold at auction to Texas; her 2002 colt Dabadi by Domiro placed first in his only breedshow class and sold.

Look at her offspring with Sir Caletto, ‘04 filly Sahara, ‘05 gelding Serengetti and her newest foal, a colt we had to name Special K. They are elegant movers, sensitive, smart and will make tremendous competition partners.
