Gran Casso
2006 Belgian Warmblood

Picture
Gran Casso is a 2006 chestnut Belgian Warmblood stallion with a nice mix of jumper and dressage lines. He was provisionally approved with the BWP and RPSI in August of 2009 with very good marks on both his gaits and in jumping. In 2006, he was the National Reserve Champion colt with the BWP and again, as a two year old was the National Reserve Champion in the two year old futurity. He has an incredible mind and has a beautiful, lofty trot, a balanced, uphill canter and huge, expressive walk. He has been the easiest horse to work around and most people don't even realize he is a stallion - he is so well behaved. I think he will pass on this amateur friendly temperament yet he has the athletic ability to excel. He will be competing in dressage and is being prepared for the young horse classes.

Gran Casso is by the BWP approved hanoverian stallion Fal Turro who has competed through preliminary eventing and has schooled through 3rd level dressage and level 6 jumpers. Fal Turro is by the imported German stallion, Walldorf who won his stallion testing in Germany with incredibly high marks for gaits. Gran Casso's dam is by Galant who competed in dressage in Florida and schooled up to Prix St. Georges before his death. Galant is by the incredible sire, Aram who sired the 2000 Olympic Gold Medal Show Jumper. Aram is by the KWPN stallion of the century, Nimmerdor.

Gran Casso was started under saddle in spring of 2009 and has had a great year. He competed in the materiale classes with scores up to 80.5%! He also competed in hand and was 2009 Region 9 Reserve Champion Colt.

His first foal was born in May of 2009 and we couldn't be more pleased. Jypsy Rose wowed the judges at her BWP Keuring, scoring an 83%, earning her premium status and Site Champion. She competed in hand and won her 2009 fillies class both times out, qualified for the Region 9 Filly Championship and ended up third among a very competitive group of fillies. She is elegant, yet powerful and we are excited to see what the future brings for this incredible filly.

Semen is shipped cooled in a disposable container. Gran Casso has excellent semen that ships well. Gran Casso is also EVA negative and vaccinated annually.
