GRANNOX is a perfect example of consolidated performance breeding and in the first five generations of his pedigree, he only carries Hanoverian/Westphalian top sires. His sire, GRANNUS is still one of the leading sires of show jumpers in Europe. The dam's sire PARADOX I was one of the great sires of performance sport horse breeding.
GALLAVANT is out of SANDRINA, who in turn is by the legendary stallion SANDRO Z, there is no denying the valuable influence this stallion has had on the development of modern sports horses worldwide. As a broodmare sire SANDRO Z has also been exceptionally successful: Lasango (Kurt Reinacher), San Serai Funky Town (Björn Nagel), Lausano (René Tebbel), Risandro (Samantha McIntosh), Filias (Arnoldo Bologni), High Class (Royne Zettermann), Cappucino and Santa Fe (Marco Kutscher), Grand Soso (Markus Fuchs), Grand Soso II (Ulrik Kjaer) and High Stepper (Maria Gretzer) – all Grand Prix showjumpers, all out of daughters of SANDRO Z. He is unique in that he is the only stallion son of the cross of SACRAMENTO SONG and Wahnfried – a cross that has also been very successful in producing dams of stallions. The stallions Lavell I and II, Atlantas Z and Campione, as well as international jumping horses, Cathleen (Meredith Beerbaum – then Michaels) and Zigeunerin (Rodrigo Pessoa) all came from that cross. Sandro’s dam, Dürte is the full sister of one of the most successful Puissance horses ever – Wabbs. Durte is also the dam of Harvey Smith’s Salvador.
GALLAVANT was presented at the 2008 B.E.F. Futurity Evaluation, where she received an 'Elite" Premium and qualified for the Finals held at Addington. She has now been backed and is proving to be a very talented show jumper.
