Meet The Girls Kalanta & Bitaluck
KALANTA – Thank you to Dr. Rebecca Splan of VT. Kalanta is a beautiful Dutch Warmblood mare by the Olympic showjumper Concorde. Concorde comes from very strong jumping lines. His sire is the impressive dominant breeding stallion (Voltaire - one of the world's top jumper sires) who via his sire Furioso II and Gotthard is bred to perform. Voltaire was second in the World Breeding Rankings for Showjumping Sires in 1996. Concorde's dam, Flyer, is by the legendary Marco Polo, one of the most influential Dutch stallions in breeding and jumping. Flyer produced at least 6 international jumpers. An international jumper, Concorde won the Grand Prix of Nordrhein-Westfalen at Aken (with Jos Lansink) and they were Champion of the Netherlands in 1994, 2nd in the Grand Prix of Amsterdam, 2nd Darmstadt, 2nd Lanaken, 2nd Helsinki and 2nd Gothenburg. For three years, Concorde was the sire with the most offspring at the World Breeding Championships for Young Horses and has famous offspring on the international circuit.
Kalanta's damline is also very strong, with her first five dams rated keur, ster, pref or model. This line has produced stallions Renville, Interpol, Spartaan, Stralmeester and James Bond, along with World Cup jumper Eurocommerce Geneve. Second dam Tavanta also produced the top stallion Adios, by Legaat.
Kalanta has produced some wonderful foals here are just of her outstanding foals:- Niberanta (KWPN filly by Libero H) foaled in Holland. Dam of Scharmantha (by Calvados), CSI*** jumper in Europe).& Alarm (bay NRPS gelding by Andiamo Z) International Jumper, Grand Prix jumper with Chris Sorensen.
Kalanta is a keur mare who was imported by Iron Spring Farm and showed through Third Level dressage, despite her genetic predisposition for jumping. We hope Kalanta will continue to produce top quality foals for WMF.
