A Brilliant Athlete

Big, bold, beautiful and fast, this athlete loves the winner’s circle. In 2005 alone, he consistently placed in the top three in the 1.45m division at the Spruce Meadows, All Canada, and North American tournaments. And in the High Junior Jumpers, he’s placed in the top 4 of his class. From advanced flatwork to jump-off and speed classes, Lio enjoys life and loves a challenge.

Outstanding Offspring

Lio’s progeny are making big impressions: Peterbilt (Liocalyon x Jeribos) won the 4-year-old West Coast International Jumper Futurity Champion in 2004. Caspian (Liocalyon x Audace d’Estrees) is entering his jumping career on the Eastern circuit and Legacy WT (Liocalyon x Ideal’s Prinzcess) an ‘04 colt, is Dunvegan Farm’s newest star.

Calypso II’s Progeny

On Lio’s dam’s side, Calypso II’s progeny show great jumping form and rideability. His sons include: Contendor, Coriolan, Colani, Chassur I and II. Grandsire Cor De La Bryere, with his incredible bascule and great jumping ability, is credited with improving the Holsteiner jumping style. “Corde” passes along strong nerves, intelligence and willingness to perform.

Son of Liostro, Grandson of Ladykiller XX

Liostro is the last approved son of Ladykiller, and the leading producer of money winners in the US in 2002. Lio shares lineage with Sapphire (grandson of Ladykiller), Mark Watring’s Pan American Games Gold Medal Horse. Ladykiller, incorporated into the German breeding system, is by far the most successful progenitor, passing on his type, head, correct foundation and jumping ability.
