Cartel AV- aka Sam.
is a 2014 gelding by Chicardo out of Vendela KWPN (Aram X Wellesley)

This beautiful gelding wins the heart of all who meet him. He is extremely friendly, and well handled already. He is one of the nicest conformed foals I've had. Beautiful head attached to a well muscled shapely neck, which is attached to a strong well muscled frame, connected to straight and correct legs. He is a lovely mover which is no surprise. This boy has a ton of potential to be a very competitive horse as a hunter/jumper, however not limited to that ring. His mother was a beautiful dressage horse, and comes from a dressage influenced dam line.

This beautiful boy is reasonably priced due to his height alone, and no way reflects his quality. Expected to mature to 15.2, currently stands just over 15 hh.

His sire Chicardo: Chicardo was champion of his 2007 licensing (AHHA) earning 52 bonits and 9's in jumping and 8's for his trot and canter. Reserve Champion of the German FN authorized 2011 North American 70-day Sporthorse Stallion Test Chicardo scored 128.58 (135.4 prior to a mandatory 5% age deduction), with average jumping score of 9.5. While considered a jumper stallion, Chicardo ranked #2 in dressage and earned a rare perfect "10" for his character and no gait less than "8". At five, Chicardo finished second in the 2007 Young Jumper Championship MId-West year-end finals for Five year olds and continues to show off-season 1.40m+ on the west coast with Daniel Zilla.

Chicardo stamps his foals with lovely heads, great movement, superior jumping technique and an inborn desire to please their riders. In statistics compiled by AHHA evaluating Holsteiner stallion production quality, Chicardo led the list in 2010 with an astonishing 83% premium foals ( of 24 inspected) with average foal bonits of 8/8 for both movement and conformation of all 58 qualifying Holsteiner stallions licensed in North America in 2010. As of 2013, at a very young age, Chicardo has already produced three fully licensed stallion sons: Clann Cardo, Credence TSH, and Caranza TSH as well many premium mares. He has successful offspring competing in jumpers,hunters,eventing, and dressage.

Sire Clinton was ranked among the top WBF Jumper sires of the world. Chicardo has the extreme athletic ability of his progenitor and the kind, gentle temperament of a wonderfully ride able amateur horse --especially important for mare owners that want to raise and ride their youngsters at home.

Dam Vendela: Was training upper level dressage when pasture injury ended her training career and brought her to the breeding shed. She is registered KWPN, and was approved Premium with Canadian Warmblood Horse Breeders Assoc. This is her first foal.

Her dam Wellesley is a strong producer of sport horses, which includes Kyra who is currently competeing with Boyd Martin in Eventing at the intermediate level at only 7 yrs of age. And Finnomenal AV- Currently showing 2nd level dressage at 6 yrs of age, and consistently bringing in high dressage scores.
