Lollipop is a lovely young filly, with beautiful, correct conformation, and all the elegance and attitude of her sire. Her future with us will likely be in our brood herd. She has been awarded PREMIUM mare status by CWHBA.
Lolli's sire, Leeto Z is an exceptional young stallion in many ways. Beautiful, correct conformation, powerful and elegant movement, combined with incredible scope make him an all-around exceptional athlete. Although, perhaps his best feature, is his intelligent and engaging personality that not only makes him a brave and willing partner, but also a quick learner and simple straight forward ride. At his Canadian Warmblood Stallion Performance Test, he was the highest scoring stallion for temperament and rideablity. From what we can tell, his foals all seem to have his temperament as well. Leeto Z’s sire is Lucino, who is by Landlord Z who is by Landgraf I. By the end of the 1980's, Landgraf I was rated best amongst all sires that had stood at stud in West Germany, and his sons can be found in most breeding regions throughout the world. Landgraf I became the most important sire of show jumpers in the twentieth century having sired the most money winning show jumping offspring in the World. Leeto z’s mom is by Crack I who is by Corrado I. Through his dam's grandsire, Corrado I combines the blood of Cottage Son xx with that of Cor de la Bryere. Furthermore, he was unrelated to Ladykiller xx. All of these factors contributed to Corrado's own success, and his success as a match to the Holsteiner broodmare population. As a six-year-old, Corrado I was a finalist at the 1991 German Federal Championships, and he began his international career the following year under Franke Sloothaak. The qualities that made Corrado I a Nations Cup-caliber jumper - cleverness, quick reflexes, power, and speed - also made him a challenging partner. Sloothaak described the young stallion as distractible with a strong temperament, and quite difficult to ride. The pair competed on the international circuit to the World Cup level. As of 2006, Corrado I has produced 95 offspring for the international level show jumping arena. In 2008, Corrado I was ranked in 19th in the WBFSH list of top sires of FEI jumpers.
Lolli's mom, Chi chi was an exceptional producer for us, but has since passed away. She produced 10 foals in total. Five were pure bred thoroughbreds, 3 of which we trained prior to having the opportunity to purchase this lovely mare with her 5th foal at side. She was such a consistent producer of ability and temperament that we jumped at the chance. She went on to produce 5 warmblood foals for us. Big League RPH(sold), Bennington RPH, Apollo RPH(Sold), Darkwing RPH(Sold) and Lollipop RPH who we plan to keep to take her mothers place in our breeding barn. Every foal she had has had an incredible mind, an aptitude for jumping and a big bold heart. She greatly improved our breeding program, and we are thankful that we had the opportunity to have her here.
