Sire: Mezcalero (Voltaire/Zamira/Ramiro Z)
Mezcalero is the son of the world-renowned Voltaire, who has gained acclaim both as a successful international competitor and as a sire of supremely successful offspring. Mezcalero's damsire is the incomparable Ramiro, who stood in Holland, Germany, Westfal, and Zangershiede, and was named Horse of the Year in Holland in 1992 due to his breeding success for Leon Melchior.
Mezcalero has competed and placed internationally, with appearances at such prestigious competitions as Aachen, Arnhem, Monterrey, Luxembourg, Lisbon, and Jerez, and in many world cup qualifiers. He represented Mexico in the 1998 World Equestrian Games, and jumped in many Nations Cup competitions under rider Frederico Fernandez. Mezcalero is the sire of many successful sport-horses in multiple countries, from Young Jumper Champions through the Grand Prix ranks. Mezcalero's bloodlines and popularity as an individual have been so sought after the semen has been exported to Europe for use there.
Dam: Porta Westfalica
The dam of this foal is the retired show-jumper Porta Westfalica . She was shown in Germany prior to being imported and has an extensive show record as a jumper, showing and winning at venues such as Spruce Meadows. Porta Westfalica's sire is the legendary Westfalen stallion Polydor. Polydor was approved in 1974 and stood at the Westfalian state stud until his death in 1999. His offspring at the top of the sport are too numerous to mention them all, but they include the following:
Michael Whitaker’s Two Steps, WBFSH Horse of the Year 1994/95. Jan Tops had La Silla, while Bert Romp rode Burg’s Pretty Woman. Beat Mändli rode Positano to team silver at the Sydney Olympics. In 2006, Pilgrim jumped successfully with Bjorn Nagel, while Sören Pedersen enjoyed success with Polly. Pontifex with Lutz Gripshöver as well as the Libero H mare, Libertina, out of a Polydor mare, who has been a superstar with Jessica Kürten. The black stallion, Potsdam continues to attract mares at the State Stud in Warendorf. There are very few direct Polydor daughters around today, so Porta Westfalica is a treasure indeed. Porta Westfalica's damline is also one of the most import and and influential Thoroughbred lines in all of Germany (family 5-h). This family has an excellent reputation of producing riding horses for all disciplines in a very consistent manner. The super stallion Heraldik xx has a line to this family. In addition this line has produced many stallion sons used in Germany for sport horse breeding. There have also been countless FEI level horses produced by this line, including Marcus Ehning's Anka 191, L'Espoir (Ludger Beerbaum), Waldi (Aaron Vale) as well as several upper level eventers and dressage horses. Porta Westfalica's tail female line is very, very special, indeed!
Fantastic opportunity to buy a wonderfully bred foal out of two proven performers.
