A Brilliant Athlete

Big, bold, beautiful and fast, Liocalyon 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 placed in the top 4 of his class. From advanced flatwork to jump-off and speed classes, Lio enjoys life and loves a challenge.

Lio retired in 2006 after an amazing ten years of competition, however, his mark can still be seen in show jumping competition through his many talented offspring. He is nominated with the International Jumper Futurity (IJF) and the Performance Horse Registry (PHR) and licensed with the American Holsteiner Horse Association (AHHA).

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.

Calypso II’s Progeny

On Lio’s dam’s side, Calypso II’s progeny show great jumping form and rideability. His sons include: Contendor, Montender (Marco Kutscher), Coriolan, Colani, Chassur I and II. Grandsire Cor de la Bryère, 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.

Outstanding Offspring

Lio’s progeny are making big impressions: Peterbilt (Liocalyon x Jeribos) is successfully showing in the Grand Prix division with rider Guy Thomas. In 2010, Peterbilt has been virtually unstoppable, winning the $150,000 Northern California Triple Crown of Show Jumping in June after a handful of other wins and top Grand Prix placings. The 2001 bay mare Dunstan Delphi (Liocalyon x Dunstan Flower Power) is winning in World Cup and Grand Prix events in New Zealand with rider Katie McVean. Lio’s offspring consistently inherit his good work ethic, wonderful gaits and willing temperament.
