Cortaro

*SOLD*

Cortaro, barn name Junior, is a five year old, big gorgeous 17.3hh grey gelding, registered with RPSI(Westfalen). He is lightly started over jumps and has tons of jumping talent as shown through the jumping chute.  He has a laid back easy going personality and has been handled daily since birth. With the right rider, he has the potential to be a top jumper.

Cortaro received Silver Premium at his foal inspection.  His sire, GK Calucci has an impressive sport record, excellent character, and impeccable pedigree. He competed to the Grand Prix level and his rideability made him a winner with professionals as well as amateurs.  Calucci’s own success is rooted in a deep pedigree of showjumping talent.  His sire Calido I, was ranked 1st in jumping at his Stallion Performance Test. Calido’s offspring have earned over 3.49 million Euros in sport and there are over 225 Calido offspring successful at S Level (advanced). Calucci’s grandsire, Acord II, was the winner of his Stallion Test with 146 points overall, including scores of 9 or higher for jumping ability and rideability. Acord II has sired S-level showjumpers and dressage horses. Calucci’s granddam had a strong competition career herself and her offspring have competed up to 1.60 meters. Great-grandsire Contender is legendary, and his influence has been felt across all the major registries and with showjumping, eventing, and dressage breeders. Cortaro's dam, Rivendell is a 2010 Westfalen and ISR/Oldenburg NA Premium Mare.  Rivendell's sire, Riverman, has won the South Pacific Award for the leading US Based Jumper Sire of the Year three times.
