Elcaro Elcaro Zeoliet G Ramiro Z Lucky Boy Abgar xx keur

Jacardo is of the best lineage of Holland. His mother is level 2 dressage and had an IBOP score of 72. His grandmother is prestatsie, preferent, level 2 dressage and is the mother of Olympic Biraldo. Elcaro came to the fore as one of the best of his year during the 1989 performance test. His foals have inherited striking fronts together with a notable good use of the hind legs. Elcaro further distinguished himself by his outstanding trot. Elcaro's dam, Ritacara (by Luckyboy), is of the illustrious Cara-lineage, which has its roots in the north of the Netherlands. In addition, Elcaro's sire, Zeoliet, is by the well known G Ramiro Z. Ability, longlife and soundness are the trademarks of these lineages. The following information on Abgar, Ramiro, Pion and Darwin is taken from the USA Equestrian web site (formerly ahsa.org): "It is interesting to note the heavy influence of the Thoroughbred stallion Abgar in this small population of dressage sires. The 1997 leader Volckmar is an Agbar son, while above-mentioned Zeoliet is the product of an Abgar daughter bred to Ramiro. (This same formula is found in the pedigree of Rolando, who is the sire of Jane Clark's Rainier, Robert Dover's mount in Sydney.) In addition, the 1999 champion stallion, Darwin, is out of a daughter of Pion, an Abgar son. Abgar is probably best known in this country as a source of jumpers. Both of the show jumping stallions, V.I.P. (Joost/Abgar xx) and Ommen (Abgar xx/Joost) are examples. Neither is Abgar's sire, Abernant, a stranger to international sport. Abernant himself produced more than one international show jumping powerhouse, the most notable being Aberali."
