Dark Bay, 16.1hh 2000 Sports Horse. 9" bone Sire: Caretano Z Dam: Nicolet ( Property of Mrs E A Winter )Calimero z has it all; beautifully put together this extremely handsome stallion has the most wonderful temperament, world-class quality breeding, with his biggest asset being this trainability.Imported to the UK in 2003 he has been produced slowly, in his early days he partook of both dressage and show jumping where he continually put up consistent results. Dressage became the main discipline in which he excelled, his marks and placings are a consistently high at every level, he has qualified for the nationals, he was listed as a junior team horse [where an untimely minor injury left him unable to attend final selection] and his career culminated with a solid performance at Grand Prix in 2012 where he shows an outstanding natural aptitude for piaffe and passage.Calimero z has exceptional breeding for every discipline; his sire Caretino Z won the prestigious World Cup jumping championship for young horses under Jos Lansink and then went on to represent the Netherlands at the World Cup finals in Gothenburg.
