 CALZADA
Calzada’s pedigree carries the names of the best horses in modern show jumping and dressage breeding . These include thoroughbred foundation and improvement sires Ladykiller xx, Rantzau xx and Anblick xx, as well as the famous thoroughbred jumping and dressage lines of Cottage Son xx (sire of Lord and Christine Stückelberger’s Olympic dressage champion, Granat), and Sailing Light xx. (See: "The Thoroughbred Roots of the Modern Show Jumper"). Calzada’s grandsire is Cor de la Bryère, (the Selle Français stallion that revolutionized jumping breeding and influenced the Holsteiner stud book). World-class sire of sires and performers in all three disciplines, Cor de la Bryère’s sons include: Cavalier Royale, Calvaro, Classic Touch, Caletto I and II, Corlando, and Cordeka . In Dressage he sired Corlandus, a World Cup Dressage Champion in 1989 and his sons Calypso I and II have proven themselves as sires of dressage horses. Calzada’s sire, Caletto I was the most successful Nation’s Cup horse in Germany, winning numerous International Grand Prix including Grand Prix of Aachen 1983, Grand Prix of Switzerland 1983, Grand Prix of Genf 1983 (where he was the highest money winner), Grand Prix of Calgary 1983, Grand Prix of Aachen 1984 and Grand Prix of Stuttgart 1985. He was Team Bronze Medallist for Germany in the European Championships at Hickstead in 1983. Caletto I produced 21 approved sons, including Michael Whittaker’s mount at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Calvaro Z. His daughters produced 13 approved sires including Aldatus and Iberio. Caletto I has produced high priced auction lots, including stat premium mare Carrara, who sold to Brazil for 75,000 DM. Two sons of Caletto I competed against each other in the Olympic Games in Sydney: Calvaro Z, ridden by Michael Whittaker and Roofs, ridden by Jan Tops. Calzada’s dam sire, Lord (by Ladykiller xx), is sire of Olympic dressage horses Larius and Lucky Lord (who competed for the Dutch and French Teams, respectively). Lord is a versatile sire ranking third in the world as a sire of dressage horses and eleventh in the world as a sire of show jumpers in the WBFSH lists. Lord has a dressage BLUP of 135 and a show jumping BLUP of 189 and is an outstanding source of show jumping and dressage talent in the Holstein breed. He produced 78 approved sons and progeny winnings total over 2.25 million euro. His approved sons include international dressage horses Leonardo II, Lucky Lord and Fashion, as well as top show jumping sires Lord Incipit, Lord Calando and Losander. He has almost twenty offspring currently jumping at international level. The combination of Cor de la Bryère with Ladykiller xx bloodlines has already proven a successful one for Irish breeders since the same combination was found in the pedigree of Cavalier Royale. Calzada is a lovely natured correct horse with great presence and looks. He is both an athletic jumper and dressage horse who carries legendary bloodlines of producers and athletes in both the sire and dam lines.
