The Proof is in the Pudding

CALLAHO’S ‘TOP TRUMPS’ - PLAYING THE WINNING HAND

It gives HQ Magazine great pleasure to introduce you to a small selection of the Callaho Summer Collection Auction superstars. With the auction just around the corner, we thought we’d have a bit of fun and set up our HQ selection into a batch of ‘Top Trumps’ for your perusal. The entire Summer Collection from Callaho really looks set to take the South African sport scene by storm, and we were spoilt for choice when selecting our Callaho ‘Top Trumps’. With Callaho only breeding from the top international performance proven damlines, who are either directly related to or have produced top level sporting athletes, we knew that whoever we selected would not only impress in their own right, but would be giving us a whole host of family members to reflect the performance of these lines internationally. All in all, it’s fair to say that we have a winning deck in front of us. Courtesy of Callaho the South African representations of these branches and lines are catching up on their international counterparts. The ‘Breeding Magic’ adage has never seemed so apt, and we’re sure you’ll agree when browsing our cards that the ‘Proof is in the pudding’. Enjoy!

Height: 170cm | 16.3hh DOB: 2/11/2016

OVERVIEW Behold the proverbial passing of the baton from Callaho's magnificent foundation sire, Lissabon, to the next phase of Callaho's breeding catena. With the evidence of Larison's extraordinary prowess as a progenitor, it is just a matter of time before his offspring emerge into the spotlight. From one of Callaho's most precious dam-lines, Laruno fully embodies Callaho's vision for the future. A beautifully modern type, he is a supremely careful and powerful jumper, leaving no doubt as to his potential.

Sex: Gelding Colour: Bay

Height: 173cm | 17.0hh DOB: 20/10/2016

OVERVIEW Of the scores of offspring who have emerged from this Callaho dam-line, it is noteworthy that so many are not just lovely jumpers but top class sport horses. With Larison as sire, the trend continues. His undoubted talent is already starting to reveal itself and with the passage of time and together with structured production by a competent partner to ensure his strength is built correctly, this horse will not disappoint.

Lot 16: Callaho Kalinka

PEDIGREE: Kannan x Landor S x Compliment

Sex: Mare Colour: Bay

Height: 170cm | 16.2 ½hh DOB: 13/2/2017

OVERVIEW Kannan, Kalinka's father, is the GFE flagbearer and former WBFSH rankings No. 1. To have a sire of this stature produce a daughter directly out of Loni, uterine sister to 1.60m International Showjumping contender, Quite Cool, is to be celebrated. Kalinka is a powerful mare with abundant quality, patently reflected in her perfect score for rideability. She however, needs time, patience and slow consolidation of her enormous strength, before she is able to reveal the huge, latent jumping potential indisputably embedded in her genetics.

Lot 19: Callaho Hera du Ayenne

PEDIGREE: Herald III x Baloubet du Rouet x Contendro I

Sex: Mare Colour: Bay

Height: 165cm | 16.1hh DOB: 13/2/2017

OVERVIEW Hera hails from one of the most valuable dam-lines in Callaho's repertoire, that of April Love ZH. With older Lissabon brother, Luc du Ayenne under Carl Boonzaaier in the 1.35m classes starting to turn heads, the addition of this lovely mare to the Callaho branch can only further burnish the lustre of this world-renowned bloodline. An uncomplicated athlete who exhibits her lineage's trademark jumping style and tight technique, she has a willing disposition and is always up for whatever the challenge.

Sex: Gelding Colour: Dark Bay

Height: 169cm | 16.2 ½hh DOB: 1/12/2016

OVERVIEW A tall, flashy but refined gentleman with impeccable manners, Lebanon absolutely defines modern Warmblood breeding. With his soft eye and endearing personality, he is furthermore endowed with lovely, masterclass paces and a balanced canter that feels like a dream. This is a sport horse par supreme and no prizes for guessing what he does best: Lebanon is a superb jumper - very careful with electric reactions and abundant scope. He deserves the best of everything and will reward accordingly.

Sex: Gelding Colour: Chestnut

OVERVIEW This large-framed athlete is slowly starting to reveal the full gambit of his unbelievable dam-line. This is consequently a perfect opportunity to acquire a horse with a pedigree which comes as close as you can get to guaranteeing a bright future in big-sport showjumping. Beautifully constructed with much colour to add to his huge presence, Bontender is a sensitive and kind gentleman. Already displaying a remarkably tidy jump, it is only a matter of time with a classical production before he challenges his siblings in the open classes.

PEDIGREE: Tolano van't Riethof x Espri x Ramiro Z

Sex: Gelding Colour: Chestnut

Height: 173cm | 17.0hh DOB: 23/10/2016

OVERVIEW Taking a look at gold-medallist Explosion W's performance at the Tokyo Olympics, not only do we draw parallels in terms of his uncanny resemblance to Tobasco, but we do not believe we're being overly confident by suggesting that his future may well reflect a similar flight-path to stardom. This is a large, strong willed jumper with the natural fortitude and unlimited scope to bet the farm on! Provided that he is produced professionally, patiently and correctly, Tobasco will take up considerable space in Callaho’s history book.
