Chiletto

2003 Holstein Stallion imported from Germany

As a back-cross to his mother’s own damline, Chiletto is most certainly a very interestingly bred son of Carthago Z (Capitol I). Produced and competed by the breeder’s daughter, Ulrike Pöhls, up to International level in Germany, it was most fortuitous that Callaho was invited to take over this stallion for breeding duty in South Africa upon his retirement. Carthago is indeed one of the most revered sires to appear in any showjumping pedigree. While he himself jumped the International 1.60m classes is significant but having him bred to a mare who also competed at 1.60m International level, even though she was barely 16 hands high, is extraordinary. Furthermore, her half-brother, Querly P, by Querlybet Hero also jumped at this level. Other than Carthago Z and Cascavelle (Cantus), the flag-bearers of this damline, countless other International jumpers and licensed stallions have their origin in this prestigious pedigree.

It is most unfortunate that Callaho lost this stallion before his unique genetics could be fully utilized.
