At his performance test in Adelheidsdorf scored 129.05 (4/53)
He was first in the jumping standings with 140.40 but 9th in the dressage rankings on 114.30. His jumping scores included a score of 10! In 1996 he won 22 showjumping classes up to intermediate level.
Calido was the standout sire in the jumping at the 2004 Bundeschampionate, siring the winner of the Five year old jumping championship, Coster (out of a mare by Carthago Z) and the reserve Champion, Clintwood (Limerick), with a third representative, Celine making it through to the final.
Calido is another representative of that enormously influential Holstein C line of Cor de la Bryère with no influence from the other C line of Capitol. In the words of the famed Dutch breeder, Jan Greve, this is selecting the ‘careful’ Holstein C line, not the ‘power’ C line.
But then again, Calido might be getting quite enough power and attitude on his dam lines, since they feature a double cross of the Ramzes son, Roman (and it should be noted that Capitol I also strongly carried the blood of Roman’s sire, Ramzes). In the official evaluation of Roman in the Holsteiner Stallion Book of Dr Rossow, it was noted that Roman’s progeny showed ‘marked difficulties under saddle’ and that the sons were especially difficult to ride. Perhaps that is why Roman left only 3 stallion sons but 122 approved daughters – and those daughters have provided a rich seam for the breeder, with an impressive number of top stallions out of Roman mares, including Carolus I & II, Tin Rocco, Larome, Calvin, Cantus and Cordeur.
Calido’s dam, Baroness, is by Coriander, who despite his jumping breeding made something of a name for himself as a dressage horse with Wolfgang Schade. This is not entirely unexpected since his grand-sire, Calypso II although primarily a jumper also produced horses with great rideability. Full brother, Calypso I produced one dressage super star, Chacomo, who sadly died early in his Grand Prix career. Baroness is also the dam of the licensed stallion Black Incipit (an advanced showjumper) as well as the intermediate jumper, Cantango.
Through his sire, Cantus, Calido also carries the refining blood of the great Thoroughbred sire, Cottage Son through his son, Consul. Consul was the sire of the World Champion dressage horse, Granat.
Calido’s sire Cantus, who died in 1994, was a successful sire of jumping horses right from the start. His son, Come On was an international competitor with Ralf Schneider and the Princess of Jordan.
Calido is a great-grandson of Cor de la Bryère, and there are another two crosses of that great French contributor to Holstein breeding on his dam line through Constant (by Cor de la Bryère, and the sire of Chin Chin) and Calypso II, another own son of ‘Corde’.
There is further Thoroughbred refinement on Calido’s dam line with the blood of the Thoroughbred, Anblick, through his son Aldato, who was the first stallion in Holstein to open up the possibility of breeding world class eventers.
Right from the start Calido I has been a success at stud, and was almost immediately awarded the highest FN breeding ranking. His eldest progeny are already internationally successful including Eurocommerce Acapulco with Gerco Schröde, Calgary with Yuka Watanabe as well as Capitana G, FBW Cassius Clay, Team Harmony Couple de Coeur, Concordia and Lyssah..
Stallion sons include Calanthano, Caleri, Calido Ass, Calmo, Candyman, Cantino, Cerutti, Cervantes, Chalet, Chapot Charakter, Charisma, Conquest of Paradies, Cormint, Coster, Counter, Count Basie and Crelido.
In the 2007, Hanoverian Stallion book, Calido is recorded with progeny earnings of 721,361 euro, with 496 progeny competing in jumping, with 98 at advanced levels. He has an FN jumping index of 144 and a dressage ranking of 117. On the basic of the Hanoverian mare and auction tests, he has a dressage score of 119 and a jumping rank of 159.
