Pedigree
Sire Line
Z. Wellie 72 is by Celano. Celano’s sire, the fantastic grey Capital I, is the sire of numerous International Showjumpers such as Concorde, Cartier, Calle and Curtis. Additionally he is the sire of the approved stallions Carthago Z, Carolus I and II, Cassini and Indoctro. Capital died in 1999 at 24 years of age. The damline of Capital I is one of the best in Holstein. Folia, the dam of Capital I, has unlimited jumping scope and is a daughter of the very successful ‘S’ jumping stallion Maximus and the Ramzes mare Vase. Vase is a full sister of the Showjumper Romanus who was very successful in ’60 with H. G. Winker. In 1993 the stallion Lord died at 26 years of age. A stallion who has made breeding histroy with offspring such as Livius, Lord Incipit, Loyal, Lugana etc. That Celano has inherited his scope, technique and balance with a fine character from these bloodlines speaks for itself.
Celano expresses tremendous scope, three good basic gaits and a fantastic character. In 1994 Celano was 4th at the Bundeschamionaat ridden by Rene Tebbel. In 1995 he was approved by the KWPN and received a very good performance test report. Celano, ridden by Rob Ehrens, has meanwhile many sporting performances.

In 1999 he had several successes, among them, Beek, Mierlo, Zelham, Nunspeet and Hengelo. In Amsterdam he won the 1.50 mt and in 2000 he was the best stallion in Zwolle, 4th in the CHIO in Den Haag and 7th in the Grand Prix in Lummen. Zwolle 2001 he defended his title and was again hailed as Best Stallion 2001. In 2002 Celano participated in another two competitions, Rastede and Rotterdam, where he showed just how fantastic he is.
