Kaspian (Kasper) is a warmblood colt. He was born in December 2021 to our broodmare Belcam Havika and sired by Finch Farm’s Charlemagne EGO Z. Kaspian’s sire, Charlemagne EGO Z (Calvaro Z/Calvin Z), is a European pedigree in a stunning modern sport horse body. His pedigree is outstanding. He is by Calvaro Z (Caletto I/Capital Dec) who has competed at the Olympics, World, and European Championships, with winnings in Grand Prix and World Cup events around the world and a prolific sire of sport horses. Charlemagne EGO Z’s dam, Capri EGO Z (exp), is sired by Calvin Z (Caletto II/Roman), a full brother to the jumping progenitor Cantus. The cross between Calvaro Z and Calvin Z gives Charlemagne EGO Z an interesting line breeding combination of the two Caletto brother, both being outstanding sires and sport horses. Charlemagne EGO Z shows outstanding rideability and excellent technique with amazing scope. He is now competing in World Cup classes and is a Grand Prix winner. His foals are living up to expectations with great looks and movement. Kasper’s grandfather, Contenda, is the ultimate dual-purpose sire. Contenda is from the first foal crop of the 2001 Adelheidsdorf Stallion Performance Test winner, Contendro 1. Contendro 1 is by one of the world’s leading showjumper makers, Contender. Contendro 1 is a highly sort after sire who is known to reliably produce versatile progenies of the highest quality. His progeny can be found competing successfully at the highest levels in showjumping, eventing, and dressage. So far Contendro 1 has over 30 licensed sons. Both Contendro 1 and his sire Contender are ranked in the best 1% of breeding stallions by the German FN. Contenda’s dam line caries the respected dressage blood of Bolero. Bolero has sired top-level dressage horses with 3 of his offspring currently ranked in the World Breeding Federation of Sport Horses top 25. He has also sired 51 approved stallions, including Brentano I and II, Beltain (sire of Bellissimo), and Buenos Aires. Bolero is 3/4 thoroughbred, presenting a refined modern riding horse influence whilst maintaining the movement of his Hanoverian lines. Contenda’s dam line also carries the thoroughbred blood of Der Lowe, a stallion known to produce offspring with great heart and courage, excelling in eventing and dressage. True to his pedigree, Contenda has proven himself to be a highly versatile stallion with wins in official dressage, eventing, and showjumping competition. As a result of this versatility, Contenda has campaigned with great success to 2* level eventing, firstly with Chris Burton and then with Shane Rose. According to Shane Rose, Contenda has “the ability to go for 4* level and beyond”. Due to injury, Contenda was forced to retire in 2015 just as he was ready to embark on 3* level competition. Contenda’s progeny are proving to be highly versatile with many found competing successfully in all the Olympic disciplines, as well as winning in the show and hack ring. Additionally, Contenda’s progeny have won and placed in Young Horse competitions and open official classes in showjumping, eventing, and dressage. Contenda progenies have won at Melbourne and Sydney Royals, as well as placing in the top 10 at Grand National Hack shows. World Class Eventers Shane Rose, Heath Ryan, and Jock Paget all have Contenda offspring in their stables and have expressed fantastic opinions of as they aim for the elite levels of their sport. Furthermore, to Kasper’s sire attributes, he has very impressive jumping horses in his dam lines. Kaspian’s dam, Belcam Havika, was sired by the famous Hanoverian jumping horse, Hector. He was imported into Australia by Belcam Stud and now exported to New Caledonia. Havika boasts several great performers in her pedigree, including Capone, Capprilli, and Grannus. With this impressive pedigree, Kasper must be the choice for anyone wanting a horse that can compete across all disciplines and get to the highest level.
