Calato Z ist einer der wenigen Capitol I-Söhne, die auf der Mutterseite das fabelhafte Landgraf-, Ladykiller-Blut führen. Eine Empfehlung für jeden Sportpferdezüchter. Der 1.69m messende Schimmelhengst Calato Z legte 1990 in Medingen die Leistungsprüfung ab und bekam für Springen 125,87 und für Dressur 122,73 Punkte.

Calato begun his sporting career under Herbert Blocker, who started him sucessfully with the 5 and 6 year olds at the Bundeschampionat. Under the Danish junior rider Jennifer Fogh Petersen he continued his successful career, and together they won the Nordic and Danish championship for young riders and were also successful at the Nations Cup in Denmark.
Calato undoubtedly belongs to the top jumping horse breeding stallions in Holstein. His son Coster won in 2003 with Christian Ahlmann the individual and team European Championships and was in the German team for Athens Olympics.
More successful international Calato offspring are Graziana, Index, Cleopatra, Callistro, Cactus L and Corinessa. His first 9 year old son Clausen is looking forward to a very promising career.
Calato´s jumping genes undoubtedly come from his sire Capitol I but also his dam, Vanessa III, was a Champion mare of her year at the Elite Mare Show and represented the Holsteiners at the National Champion Mare Show with success. She was at the Bundeschampionat with Marco Dirk and went on to win a lot of Grand Prix classes with Thies Luther.
From Calato´s damline comes the superstar jumping stallion of Ireland, Cavalier Royale, Cicero and Courage and the highest bonited Contender mare ever in Holstein the State Premium mare, Novia.
