Origin: Corlando’s sire Calypso
II descends from the legendary Anglo-Norman, Cor de la Bryere. He is quoted as being “one of the few genuinely impressive
stallions of German competition horse breeding and one of the greatest Holstein foundation sires following the 2nd World War
.” He is highly integrated in the pedigrees of some of the best Hanoverians and Holsteiners, exceeding 200 daughters,
numerous approved sons, and countless performance horses. His impressive stature and kind temperament were prepotent in his
progeny, the most influential being Calypso I & II, Calando, Caletto I &II, Cicero, and Corrado I. Calypso II is clearly
his father’s son and is accredited for producing jumping horses of insurmountable scope and ability. He produced Contender,
whom was the undisputed winner of the 1987 Adelheidsdorf stallion performance test and the sire of MANY approved sons. Interestingly,
both Contender and Corlando carry Ramiro in their dam’s pedigree!
Ramiro is another legend seemingly needing
no introduction. As with Cor de la Bryere, he is seen in the pedigrees of today’s most accomplished breeding and performance
horses. It is often said among breeders that “you can never have too much Ramiro.” He was a successful international
showjumper under rider Fritz Ligges and stamped his get with the finest of jumping abilities. It is not to go un-mentioned,
however, that he was also a fine sire of dressage horses. Rinaldo, one of Ramiro’s 70+ approved sons, sired a dressage
Derby winner in 1987, as well as Corlando’s dam Navenna.
History/Performance: Corlando's
performance scores designate him a Class I stallion, with above average
individual scores, including a highly regarded 10 for jumping ability undersaddle!
1988 Performance test in Adelheidsdorf Overall Score 120.78 (10th/56) Dressage 112.78 (14th) Jumping 132.18 (5th)
Corlando succeeded at the Bundeschampionate
twice, as well in show jumping to S-level(4'11). He has a total of 3,650 € in winnings. As per the FN in 2002 he had
a breed value of 109 in dressage and 127 in jumping with a high security level of 92%. In 2004 The United States Equestrian
Federation ranked Corlando 6th out of 4,000 for production of successful jumping offspring in the US, only to be supersceeded
by such giants as Voltaire, Burgraff and a few other top stallion.
While in Germany, Corlando stood the majority
of his breeding career in the Oldenburg region, specifically at the prestigious Breeding Station Vorwerk where he was acknowledged
as "A Holsteiner in splendid form--first class in line, elegance and type. Corlando possesses dynamic, effective
movement and demonstrated exceptional class in his first jumping tests. He achieved performance class one at his stallion
performance test at Adelheidsdorf in 1988. Though his pedigree is heavily weighted toward jumping, he also has a high blood
reservoir for dressage capability. His grand dam Tabelle, is a full sister to Salmei, the dam of Olympic winner and World
Champion, Granat. Grandsire Rinaldo influenced the appearance of Corlando to a high degree and also in dressage points. Rinaldo
produced the 1987 Dressage Derby winner, "Robby." Corlando's ancestors have contributed the full array of genes
for success in both disciplines. He was twice Bundeschampionate and a successful show jumper to S-level. Since 1994 his offspring
are regularly successful at Federal Championships in jumping and dressage. At the Vechta Special, a Corlando offspring out
of an Inschallah mare tied for first place."
