🌟🌟CALVINO Z🌟🌟

Calvino Z never got to compete at the top of the sport due to injury, but has proven his value time and time again with his high performing offspring. He is also the damsire of several exciting up and coming young horses! Calvino Z has new pricing for 2025 and is a great option for mares looking for a classy blood type stallion with a great canter.

▪️“Calvino Z is the type of horse everyone is searching for.” - George Morris
▪️“Calvino Z is an exceptional sire whose foals are beautiful with great attitudes.” - Alan Waldman
▪️“Calvino Z is a very careful and sensitive stallion with tremendous scope and range. He has all the quality needed for today’s international venues.” - Chris Kappler

🌟🌟BILLY MEXICO🌟🌟

“Billy is my horse of a lifetime, he is a competitor at his core: fast, brave, careful, and has the biggest heart. His classic style of jumping and his rideability only add to his qualities—he truly has it all. Billy also is the biggest personality in the barn, he loves his people and loves working with everyone, truly a dream stallion. He already has great offspring of all ages who he shares many of his characteristics with." - Vani Khosla, owner/rider

Billy Mexico was bred by the renowned Billy Stud and had a successful competitive career through CSI5* level with William Funnell and owner Vani Khosla. Billy Mexico’s offspring show impressive ability, style, as well as an excellent temperament. This does not come as a surprise with the talented and rideable Cevin Z as his sire and the well rounded producer, Bidorette, as his dam.

Happy Retirement Olympic VDL Cartello!

VDL Cartello made his final appearance last week at CSIO5* Geneva with longtime rider Darragh Kenny to finish a spectacular sports career before retiring to stud where he was born, at VDL Stud.

Cartello's EXCELLENT frozen semen is available to US breeders and his foals are elastic and supple models with great attitudes. We are looking forward to seeing him continue to make his mark as a breeding stallion and watching his offspring follow in his footsteps.

Check out his stallion page on our website below along with some great articles highlighting this very special stallion - the maternal brother of Cardento!
