WHAT DO WE LIKE TO BREED
that fits a vision. Further, it is even more special to be able to work with that baby and watch it grow into a charming friend. We have enjoyed doing all of the training on our horses. Even the breaking. So it is extremely important to us to try and produce a horse that is easy enough for an amateur to work with. A good disposition is everything. In Arabians that pretty much means Al Khamsa. When competing alongside of the professionals our hearts race as we place above them.
Turfa, and Crane Al Khamsa elements. All of the mares qualify as Al Khamsa or Asil. These mares breed, show, and pleasure ride. In addition, most of the mares stay leased out to riders in order to stay fit. So they are either producing another beauty or making a non-horse owner very happy. This also proves their great dispositions and capabilities. It is absolutely true that we have a passion for the rare and exotic. So we cannot overlook the power of Egyptian lines. However, nothing is more important than function. This is because we ride our horses alongside all breeds of Horse. That is why we prefer a lot of the older foundation lines. So we expect more out of our Arabians than many other folks. We have to. We need our mounts to be as smart, gentle and willing as any other. However, we never overlook form - because good form begets superior function. When you add this all together you get the ultimate horse! ... Yes we want to drive a nice car but it doesn't hurt when it can look like a Ferrari!
supporting this extremely rare group of horses with us! We have a beautiful Crane colt born in 2007 that we would like to share with someone or pass him on to a fellow supporter. This colt received all As on his Vet exam and is a very correct son of our Stallion Cale' Thee Xtreme!! |
THE FORMULA |
So, was breeding just another great individual enough for Callegari? No! We needed something more. We needed something special. We needed to feel like we were truly doing something amazing. So we looked for something rare. Callegari is extremely proud to own some of the last surviving blood which carries the genetics of the Crane Importation. As Software Engineers we realize how important genetic diversity is, for the continued propensity of the breed, as an athletic sport horse. We were very fortunate to receive 2 gorgeous fillies out of Favaras Sabrina to help spread the wealth! True treasures. Truly amazing. Truly special. |
In order for Callegari to ensure the success of our foals we have spent numerous hours researching phenotypes and genotypes that produce typey, but yet, tractable babies. We want to be able to Show on the Class A circuit as well as at the Egyptian Event. |
